ENDO WHAT?
END MCM
Endometriosis Association
Endometriosis is a condition that affects about 15% of women between the onset of puberty and menopause. "Endo" occurs when the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, migrates to locations outside the uterus. This misplaced endometrium is most commonly found on the ovaries, uterus, bowel, bladder, ligaments and on the Pouch Of Douglas. This tissue bleeds every month and causes cysts and adhesions to form, sometimes binding organs together. This video features interviews with women of all ages and backgrounds. They relate their experiences with "endo" including surgical procedures, drug and alternative treatments.
