Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, leading to symptoms that can vary widely from person to person.
Common signs may include:
✔️ Period pain that isn’t relieved by medications like paracetamol
✔️ Pelvic or abdominal pain outside of menstruation
✔️ Painful urination or abnormal bleeding (heavy, prolonged, or clotting)
✔️ Lower back, thigh, or leg pain
✔️ Fatigue or difficulty participating in daily activities
✔️ Fertility challenges
Managing endometriosis is more than surgery — it’s about supporting your overall function and quality of life. Comprehensive care often involves a team approach, including: GPs, gynaecologists, physiotherapists, dietitians, psychologists, endocrinologists, radiologists, pain specialists, and more.
By understanding your symptoms and individual goals, this approach focuses on reducing pain, improving function, and supporting fertility when needed.
