What is Endometriosis?

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]Endometriosis is a common cause of abdominal pain and infertility in young women. This is a condition that affects the female reproduction system.

 

This condition can be diagnosed and managed by health professionals. If you are concerned that you may have endometriosis, you can consult with your GP.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Diagnosis and Treatment

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]Although the most well-known symptom is fertility issues, endometriosis can affect your body in other ways, too. In some cases, endometriosis can impact on bowel function. This can cause a change in bowel habit or cyclical rectal bleeding.

 

There is surgery available for endometriosis. This can involve a combined procedure that relies on collaboration between your gynaecologist and your colorectal surgeon. If you require surgery for endometriosis, your health professionals will discuss the details with you.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1577670598926{margin-top: 68px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]
