March is Endometriosis Awareness Month

Endometriosis Awareness

Endometriosis is a common condition affecting around 1 in 7 Australian women. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation and pain.

Common symptoms include:

• Painful periods

• Pelvic pain

• Heavy bleeding

• Pain during intercourse

• Fatigue

• Difficulty falling pregnant

Severe period pain is not normal, and early diagnosis can make a significant difference.

Your GP can help with assessment, treatment, and referral if needed.

If your symptoms are affecting your quality of life, please book an appointment to discuss your concerns. For more information: https://endometriosisaustralia.org/what-is-endometriosis/
