- 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
