Welcome
to the Endometriosis HELP Pages
Endometriosis can be a distressing disease affecting women's health. It can cause
the most excruciating pain and in some women it appears to trigger fertility or infertility
problems. Whether all the symptoms are caused by endometriosis or they
originate from a dreadfully ill body, trying to stay well, surviving the
symptoms, becomes a task in itself. Your body wants to be well as that
is its natural state. Every body system depends upon the nutrients getting
into each cell of the body in order for them to work efficiently. Endometriosis
is systemic; it affects every part of the body not just the gynaecolgical
organs,though period pain is a common symptom allong with irregular periods. You feel ill all over, dreadful fatigue can rule life and the
digestive system involvement can trigger bloating, boats of constipation
or diarrohea, abdominal pain and bladder problems. This is indicative
of a disease which is affecting the whole body, not just the reproductive
organs. The main symptoms of endometriosis can be painful periods (dysmenorrhea),
painful intercourse (dyspareunia), painful ovulation, heavy periods often lasting
for many days, PMS, there is an increased risk of infertility or as I prefer to call it sub-fertility.
We hope that you will find information in these pages
useful. Please travel through these pages to find ideas which may work
