Learn what Endometriosis is: 

Endometriosis is a chronic, Estrogen dependent and painful disease that can disrupt and disable a patient’s life. Patients with Endometriosis are often misunderstood and ignored by medical community and public alike, leaving them to suffer with no help provided.

It is estimated that more than 170 million women and girls from around the world have endometriosis.

Endometriosis is not simply what is commonly called “killer-cramps”; rather it shares many features with cancerous disease, like the ability to spread into different parts of the body tissue, and to cause irreparable damage to the structure and function of different organs. However, endometriosis IS NOT CANCER!

While painful menstrual periods are one of the main features of endometriosis, it can also cause pain in any region of the body of a woman or girl, and at any time of the month.

Infertility or difficulty to conceive- so called subfertility- is also one of the main features of endometriosis. Evidence shows that pregnant women with endometriosis can have problems like premature deliveries and low birth weight of the newborn.

Symptoms linked to endometriosis can be any of the following:

• Abdominal or pelvic pain
• Bowel related symptoms
• Bladder pain or dysfunction
• Painful intercourse
• Difficulty to get pregnant/ infertility
• Chronic fatigue and feeling of being depressed
• Heavy and painful menstrual periods

Because Endometriosis is ignored or misunderstood by many in the medical community and the public, patients has to suffer in silence.
