Here are a few reasons why exercise may help your endometriosis symptoms: 1  Exercise releases endorphins. 2  When we exercise, our brain releases âfeel goodâ chemicals called endorphins. 3  These naturally occurring hormones work like pain relievers to lower pain.

However, the blood and tissue shed from endometriosis patches stay in the body and are irritants, which can cause pain.
