Endometriosis

What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the uterus. It can cause chronic pelvic pain, irregular bleeding, and fertility challenges, and can negatively affect quality of life.

What is chronic pelvic pain?

Chronic pelvic pain is persistent pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic area that lasts for six months or longer. It may or may not be related to menstrual cycles, bowel movements, or intercourse, and can significantly affect your quality of life.

Symptoms to look out for

If you experience one or more of the following, you may benefit from a specialised assessment:

• Severe period pain and pain during or after sexual activity
• Digestive or bladder symptoms during your period
• Persistent lower abdominal pain lasting longer than 6 months
