Endometriosis: 7 Early Signs You Should Not Ignore

Endometriosis is a chronic disease that affects millions of women worldwide, yet its diagnosis is often delayed by 7 to 11 years from the onset of the first symptoms. Recognizing the early signs can make a significant difference in your quality of life and the treatment options available.

At Aidiana Genetics, we believe that information is power: the earlier you recognize the signs, the sooner you can seek medical help and access innovative diagnostic tools like Ziwig Endotest®, the first non-invasive saliva test for detecting endometriosis.

1. Severe menstrual pain that interferes with your daily life

We’re not talking about tolerable discomfort: if the pain forces you to miss work, cancel activities, or rely on strong painkillers regularly, it’s not normal and it deserves medical attention.

2. Pelvic pain outside of your menstrual period

The pain isn’t always limited to the days of menstruation. It can occur at any point in the cycle, including during ovulation or even persist constantly.

3. Heavy or irregular bleeding

Very heavy periods, prolonged menstrual bleeding, or bleeding between periods are signals your body is sending — and they shouldn’t be ignored.

4. Pain during sexual intercourse

Dyspareunia (pain during intercourse) is a common symptom in women with endometriosis and can have a significant impact on sexual and emotional well-being.

5. Problemas digestivos o urinarios durante la menstruación

Diarrhea, constipation, bloating, pain when urinating, or pain during bowel movements in the days of your period may be signs that endometrial tissue is affecting other areas.

6. Chronic fatigue

Constant pain, inflammation, and heavy blood loss can lead to extreme fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest.

7. Difficulty getting pregnant

Endometriosis is one of the main causes of female infertility. If you’ve been trying to conceive for more than 6 to 12 months without success, it’s important to consult a specialist.

Don’t ignore the signs: your health matters.

If you notice one or more of these symptoms, don’t normalize them. Talking to your gynecologist and requesting tests is the first step toward an early diagnosis.

At Aidiana Genetics, we offer Ziwig Endotest®, an innovative test that detects endometriosis using a saliva sample—non-invasive and highly accurate.
