Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic debilitating disease that affects 1 in 10 women. It can have serious physical implications for those women suffering from it. It can cause painful periods, pelvic pain, ‘dyspareunia’, (painful intercourse), bowel pain and urinary problems. In addition, endometriosis can also make it difficult to conceive.

This complex disease can affect every aspect of life including physical, mental, social, fertility and psychosexual health.

Given the complex nature of this disease, endometriosis requires a team approach, with experts working together in a seamless fashion to deliver good multidisciplinary care.

Luton and Dunstable Hospital is a fully accredited British Society of Gynaecology Endoscopy (BSGE) Endometriosis centre offering management of all stages of endometriosis.
