Endometriosis Awareness: Part 1
Endometriosis affects 1 in 7 women in Australia, yet their pain and concerns are often dismissed or misunderstood. Many women wait years before finally getting a diagnosis.
For many women, endometriosis means enduring constant pain, discomfort, and fatigue. This ongoing struggle disrupts daily life, work, and mental health, often causing anxiety or depression, with symptoms frequently limiting everyday activities and significantly impacting quality of life.
🩺 New guidelines from ACOG are helping doctors recognise endometriosis earlier, based on symptoms, medical history and imaging, reducing diagnostic delays.
✨ Why this matters: Early awareness means earlier care, symptom management, better quality of life, and being informed about your fertility journey.
At The Wellness Boutique, the women's health physiotherapy team and I support women in navigating endometriosis and persistent pelvic pain, helping them find ways to manage symptoms, improve quality of life, and feel heard.
➡️ Next in the series: Part 2 will explore Endometriosis & Fertility, including what it can mean for trying to conceive.
💬 Your turn: Have you ever wondered if your symptoms might be endometriosis?
