The pelvis is a complex space where different organs, structures, nerves, blood vessels, muscles, fascia and ligaments come together. Like a city with roads, buildings, sewage, pipes, cables, communications etc, each organ and structure in your body will need to be functioning properly to have the environment in an optimal condition.

Menstruation occurs at the end of every cycle when the inner lining of the womb breaks down and is expelled as menstrual blood. These inner lining cells are unique and are not meant to be found anywhere else in the body except in the womb’s inner lining (called the “endometrium”).

Now that you’ve taken the first step to consult an endometriosis specialist regarding your endometriosis symptoms, what’s next in this journey? One of the first and most important things that your gynaecologist does would be to assess how severe your endometriosis is, in a process known as endometriosis staging.

Endometriosis can be quite an enigmatic disease to treat. For one, the level of pain may not correlate to the “volume” of disease present, that is to say, a small “volume” of endometriosis may produce great pain while large volume disease (also known as advanced stage endometriosis) may have few symptoms.
