Endometriosis
As many as one in ten women have endometriosis, a disease that can disrupt not only a woman's health and fertility, but her career, emotions, and sexuality, as well. With endometriosis, tissue that normally lines the uterus (the endometrium) lives outside the uterus. This tissue engorges with blood at each menstrual cycle, often-causing severe cramps and pain. Sadly, many women think these cramps are normal, and hesitate to seek medical help. But with early diagnosis and treatment, you and your doctor can manage endometriosis so you can feel good about your health again.
