  What is Endometriosis?

  Endometriosis affects about 10% of women in the UK. It potentially affects all women and can present from adolescence.

  Endometriosis is characterised by the presence of endometrial-like epithelium and/or stroma outside the uterine cavity (womb). The growth of these tissue fragments is frequently associated with an inflammatory process7. During menstruation, endometriosis lesions can react to variations in hormonal levels, leading to acute inflammation, bleeding, severe pain and many other symptoms. 

  Endometriosis can also be completely asymptomatic and is sometimes diagnosed during a consultation prompted by difficulty with conceiving. The prevalence of endometriosis in women with infertility is 30–50%.

Main symptoms of endometriosis:

• Severe menstrual pain

• Pain during sexual intercourse

• Pelvic pain

• Pain in the right shoulder

• Digestive issues

• Intense fatigue

• Urinary disorders

• Infertility

• Pain during defaecation

• Alternating diarrhoea/constipation

• Impacted well being
