Endometriosis in Primary Care

The burden of endometriosis is enormous, with one in ten women suffering from this painful and debilitating condition. Despite this, it is currently taking an average of seven and a half years for women to receive a formal diagnosis, with long-term implications for fertility. An early, accurate diagnosis in a primary care setting can have a crucial impact on managing the condition, providing the opportunity for timely referral, advice on managing the condition and connecting the sufferer with wider support networks. This timely, practical book brings together clear and concise information for GPs and primary healthcare teams on how this can be achieved quickly, accurately and effectively.
