Endometriosis cause abdominal pain?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Progressive dysmenorrhea is a common and prominent feature of endometriosis, which can occur before, during, and after menstruation. In some cases, the pain is severe and unbearable, requiring bed rest or medication for relief, and it can even be intense enough to make a person "roll on the kang" or bang their head. The pain often worsens with the menstrual cycle and disappears after menstruation ends.
