A Resource About What is Endometriosis?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Affecting more than 5 million women of all races and all income levels in
the United States alone, endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue that
normally lines the uterus can be found in the abdomen, on the ovaries, bowel
and bladder causing internal and abnormal bleeding, scar tissue formation,
inflammation and other medical problems.  Symptoms may range all the way from
chronic fatigue and irregular menstrual periods, to painful sex, repeated
miscarriages and infertility.  Women with this problem will find an active and
helpful resource in the Endometriosis Association who makes today's booklet
available to all.  Titled "What is Endometriosis", it is available in English,
Spanish and French.  To obtain your free copy send your request to
