March is Endometriosis Awareness Month – a time to shine a light on a condition that affects 1 in 10 women.
Endometriosis is more than “just bad periods”. It can cause chronic pelvic pain, heavy or irregular periods, pain during sex, fatigue, and can impact fertility and mental health.
Contact your GP if:
- you think you might have endometriosis
- your symptoms are affecting your everyday life, work and relationships
- you’ve had treatment from a GP but your symptoms do not get better, or get worse
