Endometriosis Symptoms Quiz

Endometriosis affects roughly 1 in 10 people with a uterus, yet takes an average of 7–10 years to diagnose. This 11-question quiz helps you recognise symptoms that are commonly associated with endo — so you can advocate for yourself with a doctor.

This is not a medical diagnosis. Only a doctor can diagnose endometriosis, typically via laparoscopy. Use these results as a conversation starter with your healthcare provider.

How would you describe your period pain?
Do you experience pelvic pain or cramping outside of your period?
Do you experience pain during or after sex (dyspareunia)?
Do you experience painful bowel movements or bladder pain, especially around your period?
How heavy is your menstrual bleeding?
Do you experience significant bloating, especially around your period ("endo belly")?
Do you experience chronic fatigue (beyond normal tiredness)?
Do you experience pain radiating to your legs or lower back, especially during your period?
Have you had difficulty getting pregnant, or been told you may have fertility challenges?
Have your symptoms gotten worse over time?
Do you have a close family member (mother, sister, aunt) with endometriosis or similar symptoms?

Frequently asked questions

Can a quiz diagnose endometriosis?

No. Only a doctor can diagnose endometriosis — typically through a surgical procedure called a laparoscopy. This quiz is an educational self-assessment to help you recognise patterns in your symptoms and feel more prepared when speaking to a healthcare provider.

Why does endometriosis take so long to diagnose?

On average it takes 7–10 years from first symptoms to an endometriosis diagnosis. Contributing factors include symptoms being normalised ("painful periods are just part of life"), overlap with other conditions such as IBS or PCOS, and limited clinical awareness. Tracking symptoms carefully and advocating for yourself with your doctor is one of the most powerful things you can do.

What should I do if this quiz shows many endo-associated symptoms?

Bring your results to your GP or gynaecologist. Describe how your symptoms affect your daily life — work, relationships, and plans you've had to cancel. A detailed symptom diary strengthens your case for a referral to a specialist. You can use EndoTracking to generate a doctor-ready report from your symptom log.

What are the most common symptoms of endometriosis?

Common symptoms include severe period pain (dysmenorrhea) that disrupts daily activities, chronic pelvic pain outside of periods, pain during or after sex, painful bowel movements or bladder pain around periods, heavy or irregular bleeding, significant bloating ("endo belly"), and chronic fatigue. Not everyone with endometriosis experiences all of these, and some people have no symptoms at all.

Can men or non-binary people get endometriosis?

Endometriosis is most commonly diagnosed in people with a uterus and ovaries. In rare cases it has been documented in people assigned male at birth, usually associated with hormonal treatment. Non-binary and trans individuals with a uterus can also develop endometriosis. If you experience similar symptoms, they deserve the same investigation regardless of gender identity.
