Gastrointestinal symptoms. Pain with bowel movements and an upset stomach (diarrhea). I was reading about how endometrial tissues release an inflammatory mediator that can irritate the intestines and nearby organs.

Omega 3 & Probiotic supplements can help with inflammation and bloating. 2023 research shows regular Probiotic supplementation reduces endometriosis symptoms provided avoid junks completely and eat balanced diet with enough veggies.

I would have an episode of excruciating pain from pelvic to lung area for 1-2 hours where I would run to the tub as soon as it started if I could and barely able to move until it subsided (with maxing out doses of Naproxen /Acetaminophen/handful of herbal remedies doing nothing). I recently had exicison surgery, and my surgeon shared that most likely these events would be at least one of my endometriomas leaking, causing fluid in the area and creating an intense reaction.
