Most women are familiar with period pain as the womb cramps to expel its lining once a month. And just like the lining of the womb, this endometrial tissue, fed by oestrogen, swells and bleeds each month. Many cases are wrongly attributed to irritable bowel syndrome, food intolerances or extreme period pain. The endometrial tissue was in my abdomen, ligaments holding the womb in place and on the bowel and bladder. I also had adenomyosis, where endometrial tissue grows into the wall of the womb.
