New Edition
Endometriosis is a painful and debilitating disease that is now believed to affect as many as 1 in 10 women through their mentruating years. Some women may find that endometriosis has little effect on their daily lives, but for others it can be devastating. Simply getting diagnosed can be frustrating for many women, especially teenagers and younger women, as endometriosis can present a bewildering array of symptoms.
In this new edition of their authoritative guide, the authors offer comprehensive yet simple advice that will enable women with endometriosis to understand this complex disease. They provide up-to-date information, clearly laid out to enable women to make informed choices about their treatment and lifestyle. Each chapter deals with a separate issue of concern with endometriosis:
- What is endometriosis?
- Getting diagnosed
- What medical, surgical or complementary therapies are available to me?
- How can I manage my pain?
- How do I build a relationship with my doctor?
- Teenagers and endometriosis
- Coping strategies: for me, my partner, my family and friends.
