Endometriosis is the second most common gynaecological condition in the UK and can affect women of any age.
It is a chronic condition and occurs where tissue, similar to the lining of the womb, starts to develop in other places, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, bladder and sometimes in the lungs. This tissue goes on to develop adhesions and scarring which then leads to symptoms.
Endometriosis symptoms are wide-ranging and can vary in severity too. The most common symptoms of endometriosis are:
- Pelvic pain – which is usually worse during your period
- Significant period pain
- Pain when going to the toilet during your period
- Pain during or after sexual intercourse
- Fertility issues.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend you book an appointment directly at our Endometriosis Centre – you don’t need a GP referral to access our services.
