Every day we learn more and more about how endometriosis can affect our body and where it can travel to.
There have been accounts of endometriosis being found in so many different parts of the body.
We want to know, where has endometriosis been found in your body?
kayleighhill When I learned that Endo can be almost anywhere, I was shocked. It reminds me of how cancer can spread throughout the whole body.
Thankfully, my Endo has been just in the abdomen. My last surgery my GYN made sure that there wasn’t any in my chest.
Mine was in my appendix area before it was removed but I have been told recently it’s not in my bladder or rectal area so shouldn’t be giving me complications since my appendix has been removed but I have all the endometriosis symptoms still n have been diagnosed with pelvic floor and wall tightening sometimes I feel no one wants to help me with my pain
Great, super happy for you
Endometriosis is most commonly found within the pelvic cavity, specifically on the ovaries (forming “chocolate cysts”), fallopian tubes, uterosacral ligaments, and the outer surface of the uterus. It frequently affects the bladder, bowel, rectum, and peritoneum. Rare locations include the chest cavity (pleura/pericardium), diaphragm, and surgical scars
