Endometriosis is a long-term condition. It can be a difficult condition to deal with physically and emotionally.
It is important that you talk to your GP and get help for your symptoms.
To help manage symptoms, focus on:
- eating well - you may need a tailored diet plan for your specific symptoms
- physical activity
- looking after your mental health
If you have been diagnosed with endometriosis you may need:
- advice on ways to manage your symptoms, such as long-term pain
- a referral to a fertility specialist
- mental health support if you have low mood, depression or anxiety
- to tell your school, college or workplace
It may help to talk to your family and friends. You can also contact a support group for information and advice.
