So, several ways that endometriosis can affect nerves and can lead to symptoms that include pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness as well. So one is direct involvement. So the endometriosis lesion can actually be very close to, or even infiltrating the nerve leading to pain. Common nerves that can get affected include the sciatic nerve. And with that, you can have symptoms radiating down the leg. You can have the obturator nerve be involved, which can lead to inner thigh pain and numbness or tingling, or the pudendal nerve, which can cause symptoms into the genitalia area. The perineal area or within the pelvic floor. Another way that endometriosis can affect the nerves is through inflammation. So, the endometriosis lesions can release inflammatory chemicals such as cytokines and prostaglandins that can irritate the nearby nerves leading to chronic pain. Also, if those lesions cause chronic inflammation. Those lesions could potentially become scar tissue or fibrose and that scar tissue can potentially trap or compress the nerves leading to pain. Another consideration is central sensitization. So when your body's been constantly in pain, the nervous system becomes rewired, making it overly sensitive. And that can cause pain to spread beyond even the original site and cause the body to Send messages back and forth between the pelvis and the brain to kind of constantly feel pain in a way called central sensitization. Another thing to remember is that our organs are surrounded by nerves. And so if those nerves become affected or irritated, it can also cause symptoms such as Bladder dysfunction, pain with urination, pain with a full bladder, also gastrointestinal symptoms such as constipation or pain with bowel movements.
