Endometriosis 3

Diagnosis

Endometriosis is commonly diagnosed in women and girls, from when their periods start through to menopause. It can affect anyone who has or had a womb. You should see your GP if you think you might have endometriosis, your symptoms are affecting your everyday life, work and relationships, or you have had treatment from a GP but your symptoms are not getting better or get worse.

At your GP appointment, your GP will ask about your symptoms and if any of your close relatives have had endometriosis. They will ask to do:

1. A physical examination (including an internal vaginal exam) to check your tummy and your pelvic area
2. Blood tests

If they think you may have endometriosis, your GP may refer you to a gynaecologist for further tests and offer medicines to help relieve your symptoms. It can take a long time to diagnose endometriosis because it can be similar to other conditions like adenomyosis, fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease and irritable bowel syndrome.

Endometriosis 1

What is endometriosis?

Endometriosis is where cells similar to those in the lining of your womb (uterus) grow in other parts of your body. It can have a big impact on your life but there are treatments that can help.

Endometriosis is often found in areas around the womb, such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes and lining of the pelvis. It also sometimes affects organs such as the bladder and bowel. Sometimes endometriosis can be found in areas outside the pelvis, such as in the chest.
