The pain was found to be more dependent upon the depth of the endometriosis rather than the stage of the disease. The rest of the participants had varying pain levels. One observational study that explored pelvic pain among people with endometriosis found that around 11% of people with confirmed endometriosis had no pain. This means those who have advanced endometriosis may not experience severe symptoms and can live without a diagnosis, while others may suffer from intense pain without the disease being clinically advanced. However, the intensity of endometriosis pain does not correlate to the individual’s severity of endometriosis. People can have endometriosis pain that is persistent and interrupts their ability to partake in their daily activities. Instead, some people with endometriosis have constant pain, regardless of where they are in their menstrual cycle. The pain that some people with endometriosis experience is not cyclic. Endometriosis-related menstrual pain can occur on one or both sides and vary in intensity.

Often with endometriosis, the pain correlates with the menstrual cycle, starting one or two days before menstruation and lasts throughout the period. Throughout the cycle, people with endometriosis can experience varying levels of pain in their lower back, abdomen, and thighs. Nonetheless, endometriosis is the top cause of painful sex and pelvic pain.īeyond pelvic pain, pain from endometriosis can present during or after sex (dyspareunia) as well as during urination or bowel movements. The type of symptoms and severity of pain depends on where the endometrial-like tissue growths are located. People experience endometriosis pain differently, but the most common symptom of the disease is pelvic pain.

#WORDS WITH ENDO AND MORE CODE#
Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: and you might like to check out the growing collection of curated slang words for different topics over at Slangpedia. There is still lots of work to be done to get this slang thesaurus to give consistently good results, but I think it's at the stage where it could be useful to people, which is why I released it. Please also note that due to the nature of the internet (and especially UD), there will often be many terrible and offensive terms in the results. Or you might try boyfriend or girlfriend to get words that can mean either one of these (e.g. The search algorithm handles phrases and strings of words quite well, so for example if you want words that are related to lol and rofl you can type in lol rofl and it should give you a pile of related slang terms. The higher the terms are in the list, the more likely that they're relevant to the word or phrase that you searched for. Note that this thesaurus is not in any way affiliated with Urban Dictionary.ĭue to the way the algorithm works, the thesaurus gives you mostly related slang words, rather than exact synonyms. The official Urban Dictionary API is used to show the hover-definitions.

These indexes are then used to find usage correlations between slang terms. The Urban Thesaurus was created by indexing millions of different slang terms which are defined on sites like Urban Dictionary.
