Endometriosis Symptoms — What To Look For

3. Excessive Menstrual Bleeding

Many women experience one or a few heavy flow days during their period, but endometriosis can cause this to be a constant experience throughout this part of the cycle.

When bleeding occurs in excess and for more than a few days, secondary symptoms can develop, such as iron deficiencies from loss of blood, which leads to fatigue, anemia, and even hair loss.

Taking iron supplements and birth control medication can help regulate the menstrual cycle.
