Hi,

Symptoms are usually worse during or before menstruation. This may be because the glands producing growth respond to reproductive hormones, meaning they cycle and shed along with normal endometrial tissues... heavy, painful periods. Pain when going to the bathroom.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Monish De, Oncologist
