Endometriosis is a chronic disease of a woman’s or teenage girl’s reproductive and immune systems. Patches of endometrial tissue―similar to the tissue normally found only in the endometrium, the lining of the uterus―grow out-side the uterus (the womb).
This tissue develops into different types of growths, also called implants,” nodules, or cysts, which can cause pain, bleeding, infertility, problems with bowel or bladder, and many other symptoms or changes.
Coping with Endometriosis was well written and well defined in a non-medical and non-scientific and non-technical language that is understood and relatable to everyone.
I liked how the explanations/definitions were given in short sentences and/or short paragraphs. The section on nutrition and dietary recommendations and exercise were helpful. The section on how you can help the woman with Endometriosis was beneficial.
