Endometriosis & Adenomyosis

Severe period pain is not normal — effective solutions exist, and we are here to help.

Endometriosis is a disease in which cells from the uterine lining (endometrium) grow in abnormal locations throughout the abdominal cavity, causing inflammation, pain, infertility, and other complications. Adenomyosis is a similar condition where endometrial cells grow into the muscular wall of the uterus, often causing it to enlarge. It is estimated that one in ten women of reproductive age has endometriosis — many without knowing it.
