What to record for endometriosis
Endometriosis can cause pain with periods, sex or going to the toilet, along with bloating and tiredness, and symptoms can be different for everyone. The endometriosis template asks about each pain flare, so the details are written down while they're fresh. Fill in what you can and skip anything that doesn't apply. You can always come back later.
- Where it hurts, on a pelvic pain map
- How bad the pain was
- What it felt like, in your own words
- Your cycle day, and your flow from none or spotting to heavy or flooding
- Pain with bowel movements, passing urine or sex
- Bloating, nausea and tiredness
- Pain relief and heat you used
- Whether you missed work, study or plans
For the days it's hard to keep track
Line it up with your cycle
Note your cycle day and flow with each entry, so you can see how your pain fits around your periods.
Show what it stops you doing
Tick when pain meant missing work, study or plans, so your doctor can see what it's costing you.
Note what was going on
Some people's pain comes on around their period or ovulation, and it can help to note possible triggers, such as certain foods or stress. Tap anything that was going on. Over time, your report shows how often each one came up, as plain counts.
Questions about endometriosis diaries
Does Kind Witness diagnose endometriosis?
No. Kind Witness is a diary. It records what you tell it and helps you share it. Only your doctor can tell you what it means. Read our medical disclaimer
Can a diary help before I have a diagnosis?
Yes. Your GP will ask about your symptoms, how long you've had them and how they affect you, so it helps to give them as much information as you can. It's worth noting when you have pain, where it is, what it feels like and how bad it is out of 10, as well as how often your period comes, how much you bleed, and your best and worst days. Symptom diaries can help you keep track of it all.
Can I describe what the pain feels like?
Yes. Write it in your own words. Words you could use include stabbing, burning, dull, throbbing and cramping.
Can I record heavy bleeding?
Yes. Each entry notes your flow, from none or spotting through light, medium and heavy to flooding. It can also help to note how often you have to change your pad, tampon, cup or disc, which you can add in your own words.
Can I use it for adenomyosis?
Yes. Adenomyosis is a similar condition, where the tissue grows into the muscle wall of the womb. The same template covers both: choose Endometriosis and adenomyosis when you set up.
Can I track endometriosis alongside other conditions?
Yes. Choose every condition that applies when you set up. Each entry uses the template you pick, and reports can show each condition on its own or all together.
Is my diary private?
Your diary is stored and encrypted on your phone. Nothing leaves it unless you send it. How we protect your diary
Is there a paper version?
Yes. The free printable symptom diary asks the same basic questions as the app, so you can fill it in by hand. Printable diaries
