Despite the vast number of women and adolescents in the world suffering from the reproductive and immunological disease Endometriosis, the illness remains under-diagnosed, under-researched, under-funded and under-treated.  There is still, as yet, no definitive cure.
This site is not intended to suggest or replace medical advice given to you by your doctor; but rather, to educate and empower you to make your own best - informed - decisions concerning your health. While currently incurable, it is entirely possible to effectively manage Endometriosis and live well in spite of the disease.  The keys to successfully battling this painful disease include early diagnosis, effective treatment with a true Endometriosis specialist (not an OB-GYN generalist), the support of those who understand, keeping abreast of the latest information on the disease, and a positive outlook.

Are Some Physicians Tainted by Drug Company Ties?  You bet your kickbacks they are!

A self-appointed panel of "Endometriosis experts" dangerously touted pre-diagnosticGnRH usage as an "effective treatment and diagnostic method for Endometriosis" in a recent edition of Fertility & Sterility.  The ERC challenged this position, calling the recommendation "unethical," and questioned the presence of several Advisors to TAP (Lupron makers) on the panel - and a marked absence of well-regarded Endometriosis experts. Read all about it here.  NEW: Read part 2 of this continuing controversy, including a patient preference study, here.

Endometriosis is NOT cancer.  However, recent studies show increased risks of certain cancers in those with Endometriosis, as well as malignant changes in the disease itself in some women.
