How do I know if my heavy bleeding with periods and period pain is normal?
Sex is painful for me. I really want a baby but am having problems getting pregnant.
I have heard of endometriosis but I’m not sure if I have it. I google and do my own research. How do I know if I have it? Do I need paracetamol or the pill? Physio? An ultrasound? Surgery?
Everyone’s story is different.
You may be experiencing pelvic pain or a wide variety of symptoms for many reasons.
It might be endometriosis.
Endometriosis occurs when tissue like the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus causing pain and other symptoms.
That’s just the definition.
We understand the experience of endometriosis.
Endometriosis affects the lives of over one million Australians.
We need clear, substantiated facts based on data and science. Real, information about what works.
It’s available!
RANZCOG have brought together healthcare experts from a range of medical professions, and people with lived experience to create one clear source of relevant, trusted, up-to-date information.
This team of experts have searched the available research on endometriosis, and screened for the most reliable papers with the highest certainty of evidence to present The Australian Living Evidence Guideline: Endometriosis
The purpose of the guideline is to promote high-quality and consistent care by providing evidence-based recommendations to health care practitioners.
Endometriosis is a complex condition that there is no perfect cure for yet, but we do have a wide choice of effective management strategies.
It is important to discuss this with your doctor and choose an option that suits you. ‘And me’. ‘And me’. ‘And me’.
Please see the RANZCOG website for more information.
The Australian Living Evidence Guideline: Endometriosis is supported by funding from the Australian Government.
