Causes
Endometriosis
Painful periods are not something to put up with.
Endometriosis is tissue similar to the lining of the uterus growing outside it. It affects around one in ten women of reproductive age and can cause painful periods, pain during intercourse and difficulty conceiving.
- Diagnosis may need ultrasound or laparoscopy
- Treatment depends on symptoms and fertility goals
- Cysts on the ovary need careful, ovary-sparing surgery
- IVF is often effective when other treatment has not worked
