Endometriosis.org is the global platform which links all stake holders in endometriosis − one of the most common causes of pelvic pain and infertility in women.
We facilitate collaboration and information sharing between women with endometriosis, physicians, scientists, and others interested in the disease. This international cooperation and exchange of experience enables us to deliver up to date, evidence based, information and news about endometriosis.
Our goal is to provide knowledge to empower women with endometriosis to participate fully in making informed decisions about their treatment options.
