What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is often mistaken as a “period problem.” That makes sense to a degree since endo and period symptoms often go hand in hand. But they don’t always, not for every sufferer, nor is endo limited to period issues.

The truth us, endo is so much BIGGER than a period problem. It’s an inflammatory disease that spans the entire body, with different types, different factors involved. Understanding what endo is will not only help us feel more grounded when faced with this disease, but will also help us get the treatment options we deserve. That’s because treating endo is about treating the whole person, not just periods.
