Endometriosis messes with the immune system and causes ‘ripple effects across the body’
Endometriosis is a painful, debilitating condition affecting 10% of women worldwide. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (known as lesions) grows elsewhere in the body — usually within the pelvis.
Treating endometriosis…
