Endometriosis is the second most common gynaecological condition (after fibroids) in the UK.
It affects women between puberty and menopause. It causes womb tissue (endometrium) to grow in other areas such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes and the bowel.
The tissue thickens and bleeds during your period, causing a range of symptoms from inflammation, heavy periods and pelvic pain to a swollen tummy, nausea and diarrhoea.
