Endometriosis is a distressing condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the womb and elsewhere in the body. It affects around two million women in the UK, causing pain, infertility, fatigue and great distress. Often dismissed as period pains, it can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and needs careful overall management tailored to the needs of individual women. This book looks at the latest thinking on endometriosis.
