What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis affects an estimated 176 million women around the globe, causing many to suffer a life of pain and debilitation and sometimes infertility. It mostly affects women of childbearing age and usually disappears after menopause. Endometriosis is often a long-term condition, with no simple cure. But there are treatments which can help.
For Patients
Endometriosis results in severe pelvic pain and reduced fertility for millions of women worldwide. Our research in the Oxford Endometriosis CaRe Centre seeks to identify what causes this disease to help improve our understanding of its different forms and to help inform novel drug and non-invasive biomarker discovery programmes.
