How to cope with endometriosis and the outlook of the condition

Support and coping

If you are suffering from the complications associated with endometriosis, then it may help if you join a women’s support group for fertility and endometriosis issues. It can help to share your feelings and what you are going through with women who are going through something similar. There are also great internet support groups available, just make sure that these are legitimate and that you continually double check the suggestions and advice given with a medical professional.

What is the outlook for endometriosis?

As endometriosis is a chronic condition, it does not have a cure. This does not mean that it has to take a toll on your daily activities and life. There are a variety of treatments available to help in the management of any pain and aid in treating fertility issues. If you suffer from endometriosis, the symptoms will often improve once you have gone through menopause as you will no longer be menstruating.

While endometriosis is something that may initially cause you a great deal of stress when you are first diagnosed, it is important to remember that it affects a number of women who still manage to lead healthy lives and have children, albeit with medical intervention in many cases.

Remember to always have regular check-ups with your gynaecologist in order for the condition to be detected and assessed as early treatment can often increase its effectiveness and aid in preserving fertility.
