South Asian Health — Women's Health12 June 2026
Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing various symptoms. Common signs include pelvic pain, especially during menstruation, pain during intercourse, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Other symptoms may include fatigue, diarrhea, or nausea. If you suspect you have endometriosis, it’s essential to consult your GP. They may recommend an ultrasound or MRI to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment options vary and can include pain relief medications, hormonal therapies, or in some cases, surgery. Early diagnosis can significantly improve your quality of life.
