NHS

Support for living with endometriosis

Treatment and support are also available for other problems caused by endometriosis.

  • advice on ways to manage long-term pain and extreme tiredness (fatigue)
  • referral to a fertility specialist if you have difficulty getting pregnant
  • mental health support if you have low mood or anxiety

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.
