Endometriosis Q&A | Part 2

Understanding the diagnosis and associated symptoms

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent condition that affects approximately 1 in 10 women in their reproductive years — often times causing difficulty getting pregnant.

There is currently no way to prevent endometriosis, but by learning how to decipher the symptoms, you can address the condition early and work to prevent pain, reoccurrences and other long-term issues.
