Endometriosis causes both physical and mental distress for many patients. Seeking support from friends, family, healthcare professionals, and support groups can help patients cope with the condition and its symptoms. Counseling services and specialists like psychologists play an important role in helping women manage the physical and mental effects of endometriosis. Connecting with others also dealing with endometriosis through support networks provides an opportunity to share experiences.

Besides medical treatment, many of these patients also require emotional support to
cope with the symptoms, some of which can cause emotional distress.
Many of those with the condition can attest to the fact that it affects not only the physical
aspect of the body but also the mental. However, it’s important to ask your friends, family
or partner for their support when you feel low or upset. It’s quite easy to shut everyone out
when you think they won’t understand or you don’t to become a burden to them. How-
ever, being able to talk to close family and friends can be a great source of relief.
Additionally, a medical professional can recommend counselling services or specialists
such as psychologists to help during this challenging time. Such professionals play a
vital role in helping women and girls cope with the physical and mental effects that
accompany this condition.
ENDOMETRIOSIS IS A CONDITION THAT AFFECTS AS MANY AS ONE AND A
HALF MILLION WOMEN IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, MANY OF WHOM SEEK
TREATMENT FROM SPECIALIST DOCTORS SUCH AS GYNAECOLOGISTS.
