We support you in everyday life
with endometriosis

It's not "just a painful period." Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory, hormone-dependent disease that, in addition to the pelvis, can also affect the lungs, diaphragm, brain, intestines, and even skin. Learn more about endometriosis here.

Why? Diagnosis takes an average of 7-12 years because symptoms mimic other diseases. Few doctors can correctly diagnose this disease. It's as common as diabetes, but little is known, and there's no cure.

The most common symptoms of endometriosis include: chronic pelvic pain, painful periods, painful intercourse, bowel and bladder problems, and extreme fatigue. Symptoms mimic those of many other conditions, making diagnosis difficult. Pay attention to your body, especially around your period. Don't ignore your body's signals.

Endometriosis accounts for 50% of infertility cases. Regular, painless cycles do not guarantee the possibility of conception. Pregnancy and childbirth do not cure the disease. Menopause does not cure endometriosis.

The lesions are often invisible on a standard ultrasound. Only a few doctors can interpret ultrasound and MRI for endometriosis – see a doctor who can perform this type of examination. Here, you'll learn how endometriosis is diagnosed and how to prepare for the examination and consultation with your doctor.

There is no cure for endometriosis. Hormonal medications and supportive care (various non-pharmacological therapies) are used, and a healthy lifestyle is recommended. Hormonal contraception alleviates symptoms but does not cure endometriosis. Surgery should be used when other methods fail—not as a first-line treatment. Even after radical, specialized surgery, the disease can recur—it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Listen to your body—pain and fatigue are signals. Exercise: walks, therapeutic yoga, and gentle stretching. Mindfulness and relaxation techniques support the nervous system. An anti-inflammatory diet + carefully selected supplements (especially vitamin D, curcumin, NAC, folic acid, magnesium, omega-3, and probiotics—check out EndoMe supplements). Shop link. Plan rest and activity days. Talk to loved ones—let them understand your suffering and support you. Here you'll find supporting materials (exercises, meditations, breathing instructions, and observation cards).

Alongside an anti-inflammatory diet, it's one of the cornerstones of endometriosis treatment. It relaxes the pelvic floor muscles, improves bowel function, reduces pain, and restores safe movement.

Endometriosis has diverse facets and affects women at every stage of life, so its treatment must be individualized and comprehensive: pharmacological treatment, an anti-inflammatory diet supplemented with appropriate supplementation, urogynecological physiotherapy, mindfulness and stress management, daily exercise, sleep and rest. Every body requires an individualized strategy. Not every body requires surgery. You can read more about comprehensive support methods for living with the disease on our blog.

How can you support an EndoWoman? Her pain is real—it's not "just a façade" and just "in your head." Help her find doctors who understand endometriosis and take patients seriously. Support her in her daily struggles with the symptoms of the disease—these aren't whims, laziness, or a "sulk"—she truly feels bad.
