How endometriosis affects your life

Endometriosis is different for everyone.

Treatment usually helps manage symptoms of endometriosis.

But you may have long lasting symptoms that can affect your daily life, work and relationships for many years. Symptoms of endometriosis usually stop after the menopause – although it's possible to have symptoms after menopause.
