Endometriosis

The lining of the uterus is called the endometrium. In a healthy woman, this lining gradually thickens between periods in preparation for receiving a fertilised egg. If this egg doesn’t arrive in the uterus, the blood-rich lining is sloughed off and flows from the body as a period.  Endometriosis occurs when stray fragments of the endometrium finds its way into the pelvic cavity, and attaches to various organs and tissues.

Endometriosis affects between 10 and 15 percent of all menstruating women. Hundreds of thousands of women in the 25 to 45-year age group suffer the pain and infertility caused by this illness. Forty percent of all sufferers are unable to conceive.

Endometriosis can wreak its permanent damage in a sinisterly silent way. Months and years of gradual damage may have occurred before symptoms are considered unusual or severe enough to be investigated. Once symptoms do occur, it may be years (if ever) before the woman acknowledges she has a health problem and seeks help. Many women accept even crippling period pain (and a whole host of other 'women's' problems) as simply our lot, and fail to seek to medical attention.
