What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause inflammation, pain, scar tissue and adhesions, although symptoms and their severity vary from person to person. Endometriosis is a whole-body condition, not simply a period illness.
Although symptoms may worsen during menstruation, endometriosis can affect someone at any time of the month. It can significantly impact education, employment, relationships, fertility, mental wellbeing and overall quality of life.
It is estimated that around 1 in 10 girls, women and those assigned female at birth live with endometriosis, yet many wait years for a diagnosis.
Greater education, awareness and early recognition can help those experiencing symptoms seek appropriate support and care sooner.

Free, evidence-informed education for schools, kura, workplaces and communities covering periods, pain, endometriosis, PMS, PMDD and period products.
