What this care involves
Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the uterine lining is found outside the uterus. It can affect pain, daily life and fertility in different ways.
When to seek a consultation
Consult if period pain keeps you from usual activities or if you have persistent pelvic pain, pain during sex, or bowel or bladder symptoms that recur with your cycle.
What an assessment may include
Assessment starts with symptom timing and impact. Examination or imaging may be appropriate, and a normal scan does not rule out all forms of endometriosis.
Options and next steps
Management may include pain relief, hormonal treatment, fertility advice or referral for surgery, depending on symptoms and goals. Ask what the next step would be if symptoms persist.
Common question
What should I record before a visit?
Note when pain occurs, what makes it worse, any associated symptoms and what has or has not helped.
