Endometriosis affects an estimated one in ten women. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found elsewhere. This misplaced tissue behaves like the lining of the uterus, bleeding every month and creating local inflammation. It is associated with chronic pain, heavy bleeding, and infertility. The EXPPECT team in Edinburgh aims to provide high quality, evidence-based and patient-centred management of pelvic pain and carries out pioneering endometriosis research.

Please donate to endometriosis research as part of #GivingTuesday.
