Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 people born with a uterus, but the good news is there is so much available to the brave patients we see who trust us to help them, we thank you.
Here are some endometriosis truths
- Missing work or school due to your period is not normal, speak with your GP.
- Symptoms may include pain, heavy or irregular bleeding, bladder and bowel symptoms, reduced fertility, mood changes, and fatigue.
