Endometriosis affects at least 1 in 9 females and those assigned female at birth in Australia.

Endometriosis is a painful chronic condition that can be hard to diagnose.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. It most commonly occurs in the pelvis and can affect reproductive organs.

While it can be painful and debilitating, there are effective treatments that may relieve symptoms.
If you are experiencing symptoms, speak to your doctor.
