Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects millions of women worldwide, often causing significant pain and discomfort. At Recovery Rehab in Parramatta, we offer specialized physiotherapy services to help women manage the symptoms of endometriosis, improve their quality of life, and regain control over their health.
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, often affecting the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and pelvic lining. This misplaced tissue can cause inflammation, pain, and the formation of scar tissue (adhesions).
Symptoms of Endometriosis
Chronic pelvic pain
Pain during menstruation (dysmenorrhea)
Pain during or after sexual intercourse
Painful bowel movements or urination, especially during periods
Heavy or irregular menstrual bleeding
Fatigue, bloating, and nausea
