1. Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a problem that you can experience when you are in childbearing age, where the tissue that is supposed to coat your uterus, can grow outside the uterus for example in your fallopian tube. This network still functions like normal uterine tissue, and will decay into blood during menstruation.
However, because the tissue grows outside the uterus, blood cannot flow outside the body and is instead trapped inside. This results in internal bleeding and inflammation, which can cause certain symptoms, including pain during bowel movements.
Endometriosis usually involves the fallopian tube, ovary, intestine or tissue that lines the pelvis. The surrounding tissue can be irritated and painful, producing wound tissue or a bag filled with fluid that can inhibit pregnancy.
