Endometriosis: Often Undetected Cause of In-fertility

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Friday, March 16, 2012 | 0 comments

Women frequently learn that they have endometriosis only after seeking help for in-fertility.

Two women who are having trouble getting pregnant may both have the condition, but it can manifest itself very differently.

One woman may have abdominal pain, lower back pain, pain with intercourse, irregular bleeding, or diarrhea and constipation, while another may have no symptoms.

For more information on endometriosis, contact the The Endometriosis Association. Support and information on in-fertility is available from Resolve.

What to Do When the Doctor Says It's Endometriosis: Everything You Need to Know to Stop the Pain and Heal Your Fertility
by Thomas L Lyons, Cheryl Kimball

-- Endometriosis can disrupt women's lives. It is responsible for chronic, sometimes crippling pain, hundreds of thousands of missed work hours, and in its most extreme cases, infertility.

There is hope! Thomas L. Lyons, M.D., whose philosophy is to treat the patient, not the disease, has developed leading edge surgical techniques to address endometriosis.

Dr. Lyons demystifies this puzzling disease, covering issues from fertility to dietary concerns, alternative treatments to surgical options but the main focus is on the key issue of pain management for this potentially debilitating disease.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
