Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a long-term condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the uterus. It can affect fertility, cause pain and inflammation, and sometimes goes undiagnosed for many years. This section explains what endometriosis is, how it is diagnosed, how it can affect fertility, and the treatment options available.
For many women, endometriosis isn't recognised straight away. Some experience severe pain, while others have few or no symptoms at all. In some cases, fertility problems are the first sign that something isn't quite right.
Whether you've recently been diagnosed, are waiting for investigations, or simply want to understand the condition better, the articles below will guide you through the evidence, explain the medical terms, and help you prepare for conversations with your healthcare team.
