Once pregnant, the ectopic endometrium is suppressed and atrophies, which is a good treatment for endometriosis. Some cases of habitual miscarriage are caused by endometriosis.

2. Dysmenorrhea: The clinical feature of endometriosis is progressive dysmenorrhea, which is a common and prominent feature. It is mostly secondary, that is, since the occurrence of endometriosis, patients complain that they had no pain during menstruation in the past, but dysmenorrhea began to occur from a certain period, which can occur before, during and after menstruation. Some women have severe and unbearable dysmenorrhea and need to stay in bed or take medication to relieve the pain. The pain may even make them roll on the bed or bang their heads. The pain often worsens with the menstrual cycle and disappears when the menstruation ends.

3. Periodic rectal irritation symptoms: Progressively aggravated periodic rectal irritation symptoms are rare in other gynecological diseases and are the most valuable symptoms for diagnosing this disease.
