++ Welcome to Endometriosis Society India ++

Introduction :.
.....................................

Endometriosis is a disease which requires no introduction to the medical community. It can occur at any time of the reproductive life and can make the prime of a woman's life miserable with pain, heavy menstrual bleeding and infertility. It is known that 5.5 million women in USA suffer from endometriosis. In our country, it is estimated to be 25 million. The problems related to this disease are multi-faceted. These are ignorance of the patients and their relatives about the disease, often-delayed presentation to the gynaecologists, lack of conscience about the treatment modalities, difficulty in balancing between the childlessness and the severity of the disease and unacceptability of the treatment to some of the patients because of the cost and side-effects.
