Painful periods aren't just something to live with.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, and many don't know it. This is a two-minute symptom check that connects the pain patterns you've been told to expect. It won't tell you whether you have endometriosis, but it might put the pieces together, and give you something real to bring to a doctor.
Take the Symptom CheckWhat this actually is
It's a short set of questions about pain that often gets brushed off one piece at a time: period pain that stops you in your tracks, pain that has gotten worse over the years, pain during intimacy, bowel or bladder pain that shows up with your period, and pelvic pain that lingers when you're not bleeding.
Any one of these is easy for a busy appointment to wave away. Seen together, they can be a pattern worth naming. No app can diagnose endometriosis, and this one doesn't try to. What it does is put your own answers next to each other so the pattern is visible instead of scattered across years of shrugs.

It doesn't screen for endometriosis and it can't tell you whether you have it. Endometriosis is diagnosed by a healthcare provider, and confirming it often takes imaging or laparoscopic surgery. What this tool can do is help you notice your own pain patterns and put them into words before that appointment. Read our full Medical Disclaimer.
