Symptoms of Endometriosis(3)
7. Symptoms of endometriosis in other parts
If endometriosis implantation and growth in the other parts of the body, periodic pain, bleeding, and mass enlargement will occur in the lesion area, such as when the lesion occurs in the umbilical, abdominal wall wound and vulva.
If the focus involves the lung, pleura, or diaphragm pleura, menstrual pneumothorax will repeatedly occur during menstruation, and hemoptysis before menstruation, dyspnea, and/or chest pain may occur when lung parenchyma is involved. Endometriosis in the brain is very rare. If it occurs, it may lead to recurrent headaches and neurological dysfunction.
8. Acute abdominal symptoms
A small number of ovarian endometriosis cysts, in the premenstrual or menstrual period due to the increase of the pressure inside the capsule, have a break through the capsule wall. If the break is small, there are not many spills, and abdominal pain can be gradually relieved.
If the break is large, a large amount of the contents of the capsule overflows into the abdominal cavity, and it will cause acute abdominal symptoms, which is a new problem worthy of attention in the field of gynecology and obstetrics. It is often misdiagnosed as torsion of ovarian cyst pedicle, ectopic pregnancy, appendicitis, and diffuse peritonitis, and emergency operation is performed.
