Endometriosis

About Endometriosis Care & Treatment

Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, leading to symptoms such as severe menstrual pain, pelvic discomfort, heavy periods, pain during intercourse, and fertility challenges. Because its symptoms often overlap with other conditions, endometriosis can sometimes go undiagnosed for years, impacting a woman’s physical, emotional, and reproductive health. Early diagnosis and a personalised treatment plan are key to managing the condition effectively and improving quality of life.
