Endometriosis is a common condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it.
Endometriosis affects roughly 10% of women globally. It’s a chronic illness that has no known cure.
Endo is not cured by pregnancy. Some women do have relief of symptoms during or after a pregnancy, but others have worsening. A woman should never be pressured into having a baby as a “treatment” for a medical condition.
It takes an average of 4 to 12 years to receive a proper diagnosis. Unfortunately it took 20 years to diagnose me.
Endometriosis is NOT a period disease, this isn’t just something that is painful during your period, the pain can be constant and any day of the year.
* Endometriosis is a chronic disease and symptoms include: severe pain during menstruation; heavy menstrual bleeding; chronic pelvic pain (pain that does not go away when the menstrual cycle ends); infertility; and abdominal bloating and nausea.
* Endometriosis most commonly occurs in the pelvis but in some women, occurs elsewhere in the body, including the abdomen and chest.
Endometriosis has significant health, social and economic implications. Severe pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, fatigue, depression, anxiety, infertility, poor sexual health and social isolation can dramatically reduce quality of life.
