We are committed to empowering people to make decisions about their health by providing them with the resources they need to manage their condition and live their best lives. About endometriosis Support for you About us What is endometriosis? Endometriosis (pronounced en-doh-mee-tree-oh-sis) is a condition where tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) grows in locations such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lining, bowel, bladder, appendix, and other organs. It is a common chronic (long-term) inflammatory condition that has a significant impact on people's lives including pain and fertility problems as well as an impact on relationships, absenteeism from work and school, and, mental health. E ndometriosis is difficult to recognise and diagnose because people experience a wide range of symptoms that present with various configurations, plus symptoms can also be similar to many other conditions. Some people are relatively unaffected by the condition, while a great many others suffer severe pain and distress from problems associated with endometriosis. It tends to be a progressive condition - left untreated it tends to worsen over time with each menstrual period. Early diagnosis and treatment can alleviate symptoms and may preserve fertility. People with endometriosis and / or immune disorders in their family may be more likely to develop endometriosis. About endometriosis Diagnosing endometriosis Treatment & management Other conditions related to endometriosis How to tell if I have endometriosis?

  • Treating Endo | InsightEndometriosis

    Discover the various methods and options available for endometriosis treatment. Find out what you need to know here Treating en dometriosis Currently, there is no cure for endometriosis. The different treatments available aim to reduce the severity of symptoms and improve the quality of life for someone living with the condition. Treatment for endometriosis at any given point will depend upon a range of factors including age, current symptoms, clinical history, the extent of the condition, co-morbidities, cultural considerations, and your preference and priorities which may include pain management and/or fertility. Surgical Treatment Hormonal Treatment Treatment Myths Managing Pain Surgical treatment A laparoscopy is a surgical procedure that can diagnose and treat endometriosis and is the gold standard for diagnosing endometriosis. It may be day surgery or an overnight stay in the hospital, or sometimes longer depending on the extent of the surgery and recovery. Performed under general anaesthetic by a gynaecologist with specialist surgical skills, laparoscopy is the preferred surgical treatment because the smaller incisions lead to quicker healing and faster recovery time. Highly skilled endometriosis surgeons can excise (remove) endometriosis, divide adhesions, check the patency of the fallopian tubes, and may be able to repair damage caused by endometriosis. Some studies have shown that following excision surgery the risk of recurrence can be significantly reduced with a long-term hormonal treatment, which may be a major consideration in the lifetime choice of therapies. Read here what happens during a laparoscopy + It's important if you have surgery that you understand how your surgeon will remove any endometriosis found. Excision surgery is the gold standard and, based on the surgeon's skill level, is the only surgical treatment that can fully remove endometriosis from locations. Excision surgery involves cutting the endometriosis out at the root and also includes removing healthy tissue surrounding the endometriosis. It's important to know that ablation surgery, which involves burning the surface layer of the endometriosis off, is no longer recommended by local guidelines. Learn about laparoscopies Discover what happens after surgery Find out how you can prepare for surgery Read about what recovery may be like Preparing for surgery Laparoscopic surgery is different for everyone, and your experience will be based on the extent of your surgery, length of stay, your surgeon, how you respond to pain, and your expectations. Each person also heals differently - recovery can take from a few days to several weeks. To help you prepare for surgery, ask questions and talk about any worries you have with your surgeon, anaesthetist, and the staff and nurses at the hospital. Laparoscopy in the public hospital system may be done on an outpatient basis, but an overnight stay or longer may be required depending on the time of day you have your surgery and whether the surgery is complex or lengthy. Here are some questions you may want to ask about your surgery and what answers to expect + Download our surgery packing list here Recovering from surgery Everyone recovers differently and how long it takes for you to recover can depend on the complexity of your surgery and how long it took. Read more about what happens when you wake up from surgery in hospital + You may be tired and groggy for 2-3 days following your laparoscopy. Soon after your surgery, you will be encouraged in the hospital to get up and move around. Make sure you continue to move around once you are at home, as this will help with recovery, and reduce the risk of adhesions (scar tissue). If you have an elevated temperature, and/or unusual discharge, or have any other concerns, contact the surgeon’s office or your GP, or head to an after-hours clinic. Walking is a great way to exercise after surgery, start with small walks and increase how long you are out for every few days. Around six weeks after your surgery you should be able to exercise as normal, but check with your health professionals. Your attitude towards post-operative recovery will help your body heal and how you feel in yourself. Menstrual periods after surgery You may find that your first few periods are painful, longer, and/or heavier than usual. If you are concerned about the pain, or if your pain is severe, contact your doctor. Follow up appointment Your surgeon may after your laparoscopy let you know what stage/classification of endometriosis they found during the procedure but you will also have a follow-up appointment, which is typically six weeks after surgery. At this follow-up appointment, you will talk about: how your recovery has been look at images from surgery give you the pathology results of the lesions excised and determine the stage/grade or category of your endometriosis ongoing treatment and a management plan, and your gynaecologist may recommend ongoing hormonal treatment to reduce the risk of further endometriosis (reoccurence) The commonly used American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Staging System divides endometriosis into four 'stages' or 'grades' according to the number of lesions, depth of infiltration, presence of ovarian cysts, and extent of adhesions. The stages can be useful to determine the complexity of the surgery, with stages III and IV requiring highly-skilled surgeons. Discover the ASRM stages/grades + The ASRM system scores often do not match the level of pain a person can be in and the Endometriosis Foundation of America proposes a different classification based on the type of endometriosis. Find out more about the Endometriosis Foundation of America categories + Hormonal treatment The aim of hormone treatments is to change the cycle of reproductive hormones to: control symptoms, especially pain improve quality of life significantly reduce risks of recurrence following excision surgery Your GP or gynaecologist may recommend hormonal treatments while you wait for surgery or if you do not want surgery. Some studies have shown that following surgery, endometriosis recurrence can be significantly reduced with long-term hormonal treatment. Some of these hormonal treatments are birth control (contraceptive) pills and its important to remember you might be prescribed these not for birth control reasons but to give you relief from your symptoms. The different types of hormonal treatments all work in very different ways. It’s important to understand the different hormonal treatments and talk to your doctor about the possible side effects and impacts of taking any treatments long term. Progestin-only options Progestin-only treatments that thin the endometrium may have a similar effect on endometriosis and may also directly reduce inflammation. They can be delivered in pill form as well as long-term intra-uterine and implantable devices, which can be combined if symptoms are not sufficiently controlled. Progestin-only contraceptive pill (POP / Minipill) Cerazette (Desogestrel) Microlut (Levonorgestrel) Noriday (Norethisterone) Minipills must be taken at about the same time each day to prevent periods (amenorrhoea). Cerazette also prevents ovulation, so can be good for endometrioma. It can be less time-sensitive, and is now fully funded. Other p rogestin medications Primolut (Norethisterone) Provera (Medroxyprogesterone acetate) Siterone (Cyproterone acetate) These medications are more usually prescribed for other conditions such as abnormal menstrual bleeding, skin and hair conditions. Intrauterine devices (IUD) Mirena Jaydess Intrauterine Devices are small T-shaped frames made from a pliable plastic placed inside the uterus (womb). Often prescribed for heavy periods, the devices contain the progestin Levonorgestrel which is slowly released over several years. As a treatment for endometriosis, Mirena typically lasts for three years and the smaller Jaydess for two years (as a contraceptive Mirena for five years and Jaydess for three years). IUDs are commonly fitted by Family Planning clinics, by some GP’s, and may be placed during surgery. Recent studies have shown that fertility quickly returns after removal. Implantable device (Jadelle) Jadelle uses the same progestin as the IUD’s (Levonorgestrel) and works similarly, but in the form of a pair of plastic rods inserted beneath the skin – generally on the inside of the upper arm. They have a similar lifetime to Mirena, but women over 60kg may find them less effective over time. They are commonly fitted by Family Planning clinics and by some GP’s. Choosing a hormonal treatment It’s important to discuss the various treatments with your doctor to choose the best option for you. There are advantages and disadvantages to all types of treatments, and everyone's experience is different. It may take some time and trial and error to find the right combination for you. The best treatment combination for you may well change over your lifetime experience of endometriosis. Hormonal treatments are not a cure for endometriosis but they can relieve or stop symptoms but not the cause. Treatment Myths There is a lot of misinformation about various treatments for endometriosis and it is important to be aware of these myths. Hysterectomy is a cure Endometriosis is not a uterine condition so removing the uterus will not cure endometriosis. Hormonal treatment will stop endometriosis Hormonal treatments can manage many of the symptoms of endometriosis but treatments do not stop endometriosis lesions from growing or slow the growth of endometriosis down. Pregnancy is a cure Endometriosis symptoms may improve during pregnancy but they are likely to return following pregnancy when your menstrual period starts again. The improvement of symptoms during pregnancy may be due to the higher levels of progesterone but the exact reasons are unknown. Endometriosis will stop after menopause or after chemically induced menopause Endometriosis can remain active following menopause even when natural levels of oestrogen decline. The reason for this is unknown but may be due to endometriotic lesions producing their own oestrogen or the production of oestrogen in extra ovarian tissue fat.

  • About Endo | InsightEndometriosis

    Endometriosis is a complex condition that has a significant impact on people's lives. It can be present in many areas of the body, including the uterus. Discover the common signs and symptoms, types of endometriosis and who can have endometriosis What is endometriosis Endometriosis (pronounced en-doh-mee-tree-oh-sis) is a significant condition affecting 1 in 7 people assigned female at birth. Tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) grows elsewhere in the body, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic linings, bowel, bladder, appendix and other organs. This tissue grows in response to the monthly hormonal cycle, forming lesions, superficial patches, or endometrioma (ovarian cysts), which cause inflammation and adhesions (scar tissue). Symptoms of Endometriosis Causes of Endometriosis Types of Endometriosis Endometriosis is a significant condition *Endometriosis studies and research have only been conducted on women, but it is a condition that affects people of all genders and sexes Symptoms of endometriosis? There are many different symptoms of endometriosis and you do not need to have all of them to have endometriosis but the more symptoms you have, the more likely you have endometriosis. E ndometriosis is difficult to recognise and diagnose because people experience a wide range of symptoms that present with various configurations, plus symptoms can also be similar to many other conditions. Read more about other conditions endometriosis can be mistaken for + Take an online quiz Complete a symptom checklist Colour in a jigsaw of symptoms The most common symptoms of endometriosis include: pain that interferes with your life around the time of your menstrual period (dysmenorrhoea) pain during or after intercourse (dyspareunia) pain in your pelvic region, lower back or legs pain during or around the time of ovulation painful urination (dysuria) fertility problems rectal pain problems with the bowel such as painful bowel movements, a bloated abdomen, constipation, or diarrhoea (often cyclical) constant tiredness depression, mood disturbances, PMS premenstrual spotting immune system issues painful smear tests Who can have endometriosis? People of all backgrounds and ages can have endometriosis, including teenagers. Endometriosis affects those of reproductive age, and can also occur before puberty, post-menopause, and in those who have had their uterus removed. Those with endometriosis and/or immune disorders in their family may be more likely to develop endometriosis. It is a condition that can get worse over time and with each menstrual period. Where does endometriosis grow? Endometriosis has been found in every part of the female human body and in some instances in males. Endometriosis is not a menstrual disease because it can happen with or without a uterus. It is a whole-body disease, not a gynaecological or woman's disease. Organs that are close to the uterus are more often affected by endometriosis such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, pelvic lining, bowel, bladder, rectum, pouch of douglas, and appendix. What causes endometriosis? There are four different types of endometriosis that may be caused in different ways and therefore may require different treatments. The treatment you may receive from your medical professionals may depend on what theory they believe about the cause of endometriosis. The cause of endometriosis is not well understood with many theories but no medical agreement. The endocrine (hormonal) and immune systems are thought to be involved. Read more about the theorie s + Types of endometriosis There are three types of endometriosis, as well as adenomyosis (endometriosis within the uterus) What do you do if you suspect endometriosis? Everyone experiences symptoms of endometriosis and pain differently. If you suspect you have endometriosis it's a good idea to track your symptoms for 2-3 months and then talk to your GP or gynaecologist that specialises in endometriosis for a diagnosis. If you have private medical insurance you can refer yourself to see a gynaecologist in private practice. Find out more about the pathway to diagnosis A symptom diary can be useful to track pain, and other symptoms, their severity, and the effect on your life - as well as medicines you are taking, any lifestyle changes you have made (such as nutrition, exercise, pain/stress management), and complementary therapies you have tried. A symptom diary can reveal trends and the effectiveness of different strategies which will give you and your health professionals valuable information in reaching a diagnosis. It will also add to your feeling of control and your overall sense of well-being. You can use an app, make notes on your phone, or track things on paper.

  • Lifestyle Changes | InsightEndometriosis

    Complementary therapies, nutrition, and exercise can make a difference to your endometriosis symptoms. Learn more... Complementary therapies and changes to lifestyle Many people have found that complementary therapies and changes to their lifestyle, such as healthy eating and movement can help with endometriosis symptoms. It's important to remember that each person is different and experiences endometriosis differently - what works for one person may not work for another. It is worth trying complementary therapies, changes to your diet, and introducing healthy movement that works for you and your body. Learn about complementary therapies Find out the benefits of nutritional changes Discover how healthy movement can help Read about mental well-being Complementary therapies Complementary therapies are provided by therapists from a wide variety of disciplines and are often used alongside usual treatments - such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, physiotherapy, osteopathy, and massage. While there is little research and evidence about complementary therapies, many people have found them helpful, alongside surgical and hormonal treatment. With endometriosis, therapies are often used to manage particular symptoms, such as period pain. Treatment may also focus on aspects of the condition, for example, inflammation. If you are going to use complementary therapies talk to your GP first to check interactions with other medicines or treatments and any safety concerns. Find out how acupuncture can help Read about osteopathy Learn about physiotherapy Discover how massage can give relief Learn about naturopathy Nutritional changes The experience of endometriosis symptoms is different for each person, as well as each person being unique in their food preferences, lifestyle, medical history, and treatment, therefore, there is no universal 'endo diet'. However, there are general principles such as reducing foods that either cause inflammation or raise oestrogen levels, both of which may contribute to endometriosis or its symptoms. Eating the foods that are right for you can help: combat bloating relieve IBS symptoms reduce flares and pain regulate bowels fight fatigue support your gut health which can optimise immune function Discover foods positive for endometriosis Learn about going gluten free Understand more about FODMAP Discover foods negative for endometriosis Read about omega-3 and omega-6 Get tips on reducing endo belly Eating well with endometriosis tip 1 Work out what foods, additives and/or colourings trigger your symptoms Knowing what triggers your symptoms means you can get some relief from your symptoms and you will be in a better place to focus on foods that benefit your endometriosis and health. Food, symptom, and pain diary The best way to determine which dietary changes may help you is to keep a food and symptom diary, recording everything that you eat and drink each day. A clear pattern may not emerge right away so it’s best to keep a food diary for 4-6 weeks. You may find from a diary that some of your symptoms may be triggered by certain foods and eliminating these from your daily food intake may help to reduce symptoms. After eliminating foods for 4-6 weeks it may be possible to slowly re-introduce specific foods to see how your body tolerates them but continue your food diary to monitor your symptoms to determine if your symptoms improve, stay the same, or worsen after reintroducing something. Get our tips on keeping a food diary here + To fight inflammation and pain caused by endometriosis, consume a nutrient-dense, well-balanced diet that’s primarily plant-based and full of vitamins and minerals. Omega-3 fats can be beneficial because they are natural anti-inflammatories and high levels can be found in some fish - but if you don't eat fish it's possible to include these healthful fats and fatty acids in your diet through other foods and supplements. Foods that may positively affect endometriosis Fibrous foods Fruit Vegetables Legumes Whole grains Iron-rich foods Dark leafy greens Broccoli Beans Fortified grains Nuts Seeds Healthful fats Salmon Fatty fish Tree nuts Avocado Olive oil Olives Foods rich in essential fatty acids Salmon Sardines Herring Trout Walnuts Chia seeds Flax seeds Antioxidant-rich foods Colourful fruits Colourful vegetables Dark chocolate Spinach Beets Foods that may negatively affect endometriosis Foods that can influence hormone regulation, particularly oestrogen balance, can negatively affect those with endometriosis. Some foods may also cause inflammation leading to further pain. Alcohol can contribute to bloating and diarrhoea excess alcohol may cause inflammation is processed by the liver so can reduce the effectiveness of oestrogen being removed Saturated and trans fat can increase inflammation may have a negative impact on period pain is processed by the liver so can reduce the effectiveness of oestrogen being removed Excess caffiene may cause diarrhoea can worsen symptoms of anxiety is processed by the liver so can reduce the effectiveness of oestrogen being removed Processed foods may contain inflammatory omega-6 can cause bloating are low in fibre, zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats is processed by the liver so can reduce the effectiveness of oestrogen being removed Going gluten free Many people have reported some type of non-coeliac gluten sensitivity and experience symptoms such as flatulence, bloating, and disturbed bowel function, similar to some of the endometriosis bowel symptoms. A 2012 study suggested that 75% of people had improved pain perception in all areas and improved quality of life, with no worsening of pain in the remaining 25% after following a gluten-free diet for 12 months. Gluten is a protein found in some grains (wheat, barley, rye, and oats), and is also found in beer, bottled condiments, some sausages and is present as a thickening in many shop-bought sauces. Gluten is not an essential nutrient so if you remove gluten from your diet and you feel better for it and have reduced symptoms then this is a good outcome. There are some things to be aware of if you are going gluten-free, find out what these things are if you are gluten-free or thinking of going gluten-free + To be gluten-free planning out each meal, as well as shopping and preparing ahead of time, can make it much easier to stay on track. Omega-3 and Omega-6 balance Omega-3 and omega-6 are fatty acids that you can only get from what you eat. These fatty acids are different from most other fats, they are biologically active and have important roles in processes like blood clotting and inflammation. Omega-3 is anti-inflammatory and omega-6 is pro-inflammatory and research shows that the average 'Western' diet tends to be very high in omega-6 and low in omega-3 Given that endometriosis is often associated with pain caused by inflammation, balancing omega-3 and omega-6 intake is especially beneficial for those with endometriosis. Find out how you can balance omega-3 and omega-6 in your diet here + Low FODMAP-diet Some people with endometriosis symptoms have found that a low FODMAP diet relieves some of their symptoms and allows the gastrointestinal system to heal, by eliminating certain carbohydrates that are potentially irritating. FODMAP stands for 'fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols'. FODMAP is a short-term dietary modification rather than a long-term lifestyle change. Many foods that contain FODMAPs are considered very healthy, and some FODMAPs function like healthy prebiotic fibres, supporting your friendly gut bacteria. If you can tolerate these types of carbs you should not avoid them. However, for people with a FODMAP intolerance, foods high in these carbs may cause unpleasant digestive issues as your gut bacteria use these carbs for fuel, producing hydrogen gas which may lead to gas, bloating, stomach cramps, pain, and constipation. FODMAPs also draw liquid into your intestine, which may cause diarrhoea. By eliminating all high-FODMAP foods for a few weeks to see if FODMAPs are the cause of gastrointestinal symptoms. You may experience relief in your symptoms in as little as a few days. Find out what high FODMAP foods to avoid + After a few weeks, you can reintroduce foods, one at a time, to help you determine which foods cause your symptoms. If you find that a certain type of food strongly upsets your digestion you may want to then permanently avoid it. It can be difficult to get started and follow a low-FODMAP diet on your own, so seek the advice of a doctor, dietician, or nutritionist who is trained in this area. This may also help prevent unnecessary dietary restrictions. They can also help to track symptoms and identify potentially problematic foods. They can also make sure that it is appropriate for specific medical or health situations. Preparation is crucial for success with FODMAP. Planning out each meal, as well as shopping and preparing it ahead of time, can make it much easier to stay on track. Endo belly A bloated abdomen is common for people with endometriosis and is often called an 'endo belly'. Bloating can be due to other underlying medical conditions alongside endometriosis such as coeliac disease, Small Intestine Bacterial Growth (SIBO), and Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD). It can also be a symptom of adenomyosis, fibroids, polyps, and ovarian cancer. For those with endometriosis causes of endo belly include: inflammation from endometriotic lesions and changes within the immune system dietary triggers, food intolerances and altered gut microbiota poor dietary practices such as large portions, eating too quickly, and mindless eating constipation stress hormone fluctuations linked with your menstrual cycle some medications abnormal abdominal-diaphragmatic reflexes Identifying foods that trigger your symptoms and endo belly is really important because it's easy to look back and blame your symptoms on the last thing you ate and this may lead you to a restrictive diet, eliminating things unnecessarily or making many changes all at once. Keep a food and symptom diary to figure out the triggers of your symptoms. Read more about food and symptom diaries Endo belly tip 1 Optimise your digestion reduce stress eat sitting down eat in a calm environment add digestive enzymes if your digestion is sensitive try soups, stews, smoothies Healthy movement to help endometriosis symptoms Healthy movement which is moderate intensity, low impact, and includes stretching is good for both endometriosis symptoms and overall physical and mental wellbeing. It's important to find what works best for you and your endometriosis, particularly if you find some types of exercise cause painful flares of symptoms. Even on bad days, small amounts of activity is better than no activity. Try ‘snacking' on exercise by breaking up the 30 minutes into three lots of 10 minutes or two lots of 15 minutes. Find out what the benefits of exercise are + Moderate-intensity exercises will moderate your hormones while building on fitness and strength, while low-impact exercises will help ensure you do not trigger pain due to adhesions and stretching can help increase your range of movement. Suitable exercises include: walking cycling swimming water aerobics dancing cleaning the house gardening Pilates Yoga Tai Chi Find out more about the benefits of yoga when you have endometriosis + Finding the relaxation exercises and strength and core exercises that you enjoy and work best for your body may be a process of trial and error. Don’t give up on finding the best physical activity for you. Get our tips on getting started with exercise + Exercises to avoid There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to this because the severity of the condition and its symptoms vary widely from person to person. But, in general, try to avoid or limit: High-intensity workouts which through an interplay with hormones may further aggravate pain symptoms. High-impact exercises may trigger pain through adhesions (scar tissue). Abdominal exercises, particularly when already experiencing pain. Working first on relaxing and gently stretching muscles first might be useful. Overcoming barriers to exercise Sometimes we put up barriers to exercise, here are some of the common ones and how to overcome them: “I'm not well” While endometriosis flare-ups can make it challenging to exercise, remember the benefits such as pain relief and improvements in mood. On bad days, yoga and a light walk (perhaps in nature) might be beneficial. Any physical activity can be useful on these days. “I don’t have time” It’s important to prioritise your health, so schedule activity into your daily routine – perhaps by getting up earlier or fitting a walk into your lunch break. Aim for ‘snacking' on exercise - if you can't find half an hour try for three 10 minute sessions, use the stairs instead of the lift, park your car 10 minutes' walk away from your destination. And remember all activities count - it doesn’t have to be a workout at a gym; gardening and other activities around the home are an important part of your activity routine too. “I'm too tired” Remember physical activity helps to improve your energy levels and sleep better. Start small and slowly build up as your energy levels increase. “I can't afford it” You don’t have to join a gym to exercise! There are lots of free and low-cost options, many of which can be built into daily life – walking, dancing, gardening, and community classes.
