In the medicals eyes it’s

Pain areas: in the lower abdomen, lower back, pelvis, rectum, or vagina

Pain circumstances: can occur during sexual intercourse or while defecating

Menstrual: abnormal menstruation, heavy menstruation, irregular menstruation, painful menstruation, or spotting

Gastrointestinal: constipation or nausea

Abdominal: abdominal fullness or cramping

Also common: infertility

But to be with someone to live with it....

Its burning body from ribs to thighs all the way around your body...

It’s being in sooo much pain you can’t get out of bed.

It’s missing hours at work.

Not being able to do your own every day livings like brush your hair for days.

It’s so much pain that you wish god would just take you.

It’s vomiting pretty much every morning before, after and during your menstrual.

It’s not being able to have a bowel movement during your menstrual and a couple days after.

It’s belly bloat that makes all ur clothes tight.

It’s no meds that helps.

It’s not being able to conceive.

It’s 6 baths a day due to that being the only thing to slightly help.

Endometriosis is something the should find a cure for just like cancer, myasthenia gravis and other health issues.

To be a person living with a lady who has endometriosis...

It’s not being able to help.

It’s being up all night trying to soothe her cause u care, even tho there’s nothing u can do.

It’s holding your urine or bowels cause she just got in the tub and you know that’s what soothes her a lil bit and u don’t wanna bother her.

It’s belly rubs and back rubs.

It’s making sure she eats even if it’s in bed.

It’s getting up and grabbing the heating pad for her.

It’s grabbing water for her cause she’s violently vomiting in the bathroom.

She notices what you are doing for her but she’s so miserable she can’t thank u or even seem appreciative for all you have done.
