OverviewEndometriosis is a distressing condition in which tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the womb and elsewhere in the body. It affects around 10 percent of women, causing pain, infertility, fatigue and great distress. Often dismissed as period pains, it can be difficult to diagnose and treat, and needs careful overall management tailored to the needs of individual women. This book looks at the latest thinking on endometriosis. Topics include: * Causes and diagnosis * Treatment - from simple painkilling drugs to hysterectomy * What specialist treatment centres can offer, including pain management, surgery, and hormone treatments * The effect on fertility * Endometriosis in younger women and teenagers * How diet and supplements may help * Complementary remedies, e.g. TENS machines and acupuncture * Research and the future * Case histories, tips and hints from women and their partners Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jill EckersleyPublisher: John Murray Press Imprint: Sheldon Press Dimensions: Width: 13.80cm , Height: 1.00cm , Length: 21.50cm Weight: 0.168kg ISBN: 9781847093523ISBN 10: 1847093523 Pages: 120 Publication Date: 19 November 2015 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.

It provides a useful signpost for earlier diagnosis and effective treatment. This would be a valuable resource to help nurses identify women in need and offer practical advice. It would be a useful text for nurse education, especially in gynaecology, primary care and school nursing courses. -- Helen Barlow, Deputy Director of Nursing, Quality and Safety, NHS England Author InformationDr Zara Aziz is a GP specializing in women's health.
