Eliminate Pain from Endometriosis
Endometriosis is the growth of tissue like the uterine lining (endometrium) outside the uterus, usually within the pelvic cavity as ‘endometriosis lesions’. The result is chronic pain, infertility and diminished quality of life – 190 million women world wide are affected.
Endometriosis is currently diagnosed by invasive surgery and is treated by surgical removal of lesions or with drugs that suppress sex hormones. Sadly, in many women symptoms recur after surgery and available medical treatments have undesirable side-effects and are contraceptive. New non-invasive diagnostic approaches and treatments for endometriosis are desperately needed.
