🎗️ March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Did you know this condition affects 1 in 10 women?

Endometriosis can cause debilitating pain, fertility issues, and significantly impact quality of life.

Megan Davenport, MISCP, Senior Physiotherapist in Pelvic Health at Blackrock Clinic, sheds light on the condition and its symptoms:

“Endometriosis can affect women at any age, from puberty to menopause, though its impact may persist throughout life. It is not just “bad period pain”—it is a long-term condition, and each person’s experience with endometriosis is different.

Women with endometriosis experience a wide range of symptoms, with the most commonly recognised including:

– Heavy periods (needing to change pads/tampons every hour or so)

– Painful periods that interfere with daily activities

– Pelvic, abdominal or back pain, sometimes radiating down the thighs

– Pain during or after sex

– Pain with urination or having a bowel motion

Fatigue, bloating and nausea can also be experienced as well as anxiety and depression.
