Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.

HI imJustMe63, this pain is normal with endometriosis, i experience it often. Especially during my period. As awful as it is, i can assure it is normal with endo. Ive found medicine to "help me go" makes the pain a little more bearable.

Hope I helped a bit! :) goodluck

I have had painful bowel movements since I was 16. It sucks. I've passed out, I've spent hours afterwards in major pain.

Currently, I'm sitting at home hoping the pain after my last bowel movelemt (over 3 hours ago) will go away soon. Ugh!!

I get especially bad bowel movements right before my period. When I was on BC, it was slightly better, but I still was constipated all the time. Probiotics, stool softeners, enemas have become my friends.

Marilyn Monroe had very bad endo and according to sources, she used an enema 2 times a week! I don't think that doctors recommend that these days as it creates a lazy colon...same with the stool softeners. It's better to find natural ways to reduce the constipation and dihera situation.

If the pain is not caused by C or D...it's possible the endo or adhesions have grown on your bowel. I know mine constantly is!

Hope this helps.
