Endometriosis: Ancient Condition, Modern Understanding
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing pain, inflammation, and a range of systemic symptoms. It remains complex, under-recognised, and deeply individual — affecting not just the reproductive system, but multiple aspects of health and quality of life. Management often involves a combination of medical and lifestyle approaches.
