Why endometriosis makes your wife so angry?
I support my wife in her battle with endometriosis for a long time. I also do a lot of research on the topic and can answer why endometriosis makes your wife so angry. Here’s why:
Endometriosis makes your wife angry because hormones affect her mood. Women with endometriosis have higher levels of estrogen and low progesterone. Endometriosis changes their levels causing frustration and anger. Estrogen and progesterone play a major role in endometriosis and are linked to anxiety and depression.
About 10% of women suffer from endometriosis, a chronic condition that causes debilitating pain, fatigue, and mood swings.
Endometriosis is caused by the abnormal growth of uterine-like tissue outside the uterus. This displaced tissue often grows on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other areas in the abdominal cavity. But this is a whole-body disease and can grow anywhere, including the lungs and brain.
The displaced tissue bleeds during menstruation, causing inflammation and the formation of scar tissue. The pain and inflammation associated with endometriosis can lead to fatigue and mood swings.
There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are treatments that can help your wife manage her condition.
The links between endometriosis and mood…
Endometriosis affects women of childbearing age and is the leading cause of infertility. It’s a major contributor to pelvic pain, and can also cause fatigue, gastrointestinal problems, and mood swings.
Endometriosis is a hormonal disease, which means that it is affected by the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. This can cause mood swings and make it difficult to cope with the pain and other symptoms.
Many women with endometriosis feel they have to overcompensate for the pain by being extra cheerful and upbeat. But the truth is, living with endometriosis can be exhausting and frustrating.
Endometriosis can cause a lot of pain. This pain can be caused by the endometrial tissue growing on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other areas in the abdominal cavity. The pain can also be caused by the inflammation and scarring that can result from the displaced tissue bleeding during menstruation.
The pain associated with endometriosis can lead to fatigue, which can make it difficult to concentrate and make decisions. The fatigue can also make it hard to get a good night’s sleep, which can further contribute to the fatigue.
Endometriosis can also cause gastrointestinal problems, such as constipation, diarrhea, and bloating. These problems can be caused by the endometrial tissue growing on the intestines.
The symptoms can also be caused by the inflammation and scarring that can result from the displaced tissue bleeding during menstruation. The gastrointestinal problems associated with endometriosis can also contribute to fatigue and mood swings.
Endometriosis is a chronic condition, which means it can last for years or even a lifetime. The pain, fatigue, and other symptoms can make it difficult to maintain a job, a social life, and a healthy lifestyle.
The frustration and anger that can result from living with endometriosis can make it difficult to maintain relationships. The stress of living with endometriosis can also contribute to the anxiety and depression that are often seen in women with the condition.
If your wife is suffering from endometriosis, it’s important to be understanding and supportive. The links between endometriosis and mood can make it difficult for her to cope with the pain and other symptoms. But there are treatments that can help her manage her condition.

Mood swings are related to the menstrual cycle.
Aside from other effects of endometriosis on the menstrual cycle such as irregular periods, bleeding between periods, heavy periods, and extremely painful periods, endometriosis also causes mood swings, depression, and anxiety, significantly impacting your wife’s quality of life.
Additionally, it’s not uncommon for women with this condition to experience digestive problems along with endometriosis, IBS, endo-belly, symptoms like diarrhea, constipation, and nausea can also occur, and they may get worse during her menstrual periods.
So, as you can see, mood swings are related to the menstrual cycle. But endometriosis makes her menstrual cycle even worse. Your wife is most likely to feel angry because of the pain she experiences during both, her period, and ovulation.
The pain caused by endometriosis can be so severe that it interferes with your wife’s daily activities. The pain can also make it hard for her to get a good night’s sleep. The fatigue and other symptoms can also make it difficult for her to concentrate and make decisions.
The frustration and anger that can result from living with endometriosis can make it difficult to maintain relationships. The stress of living with endometriosis can also contribute to the anxiety and depression that are often seen in women with the condition.
My wife suffers from general anxiety, panic attacks, depression, and even Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The latter suppose to give her some sense of control over her situation, however, OCD controls her instead.
Chronic illness and chronic anger.
Any chronic illness can change a person’s mood and behavior. It’s not uncommon for people with chronic illnesses to suffer from anxiety, depression, and anger.
Chronic anger is a common symptom of chronic illness. The person may feel angry at the world, at God, or at themselves. They may feel like they are a victim and that no one understands what they are going through.
The stress of living with a chronic illness can also contribute to the anxiety and depression that are often seen in people with the condition, so if your wife is suffering from endometriosis, it’s important to be understanding and supportive.
Chronic stress influences the development and severity of chronic illnesses, such as endometriosis. The impact of stress on endometriosis and the impact of endometriosis on stress levels creates a vicious cycle that can be difficult to break.
The good news is that there are treatments that can help your wife manage her endometriosis which can help your wife break the chronic illness and chronic stress cycle.
What is the treatment for endometriosis?
Your wife’s risk of mood swings and other mental health symptoms is always most likely going to reoccur or/and increase if her endometriosis remains undiagnosed or untreated. When experiencing painful periods, chronic pelvic pain, or other symptoms, it’s important to seek professional care.
But professional medical care can go only as far as your money or the doctors allow it. They may provide a range of treatment options to help your wife manage her condition, but even despite laparoscopic surgery, endometriosis often comes back.
Endometriosis can grow back after the surgery, and it can grow back quickly. The recurrence rates for endometriosis are high, as much as 50 percent within two years after surgery.
Medication can temporarily stop ovulation, and this method may improve your chances of getting pregnant once your wife stops taking the medication. If she isn’t interested in getting pregnant, a different medication can extend her menstrual cycles and reduce the number of periods she has per year.
In more severe cases, or if endometriosis is affecting your wife’s fertility, surgery could be an option using minimally invasive techniques to remove patches of endometrial tissue, which can help her body recover and minimize symptoms.
So, as far as the treatment for endometriosis goes, your wife is limited, and knowing that it may come back, there is more that needs to be done in order to make your wife feel less anxious about her future and less angry.
Luckily, you’re there. You are the key to providing emotional support whenever she needs it. So, be patient, be understanding, and be there for her.
As I say on my home page – “The best gift you can ever give to a chronically ill partner is your unconditional love and support.”
Why endometriosis makes your wife so angry?
To wrap things up, why endometriosis makes your wife so angry is likely due to a combination of her chronic pain, the chronic stress of living with a chronic illness, and the lack of control she feels over her own body, and her future.
But you can help. You can be the support she needs to get through this tough time. So, be there for her, and show her your unconditional love and support.
