Why treatment and surgery does not neccessarily mean the end of #endo and what can be done to relieve the return of distressing pain theconversation.com/why-endometr... #endometriosis

Why endometriosis pain can continue after treatment
Removing endometriosis does not always relieve pelvic pain. Other conditions and increased sensitivity in the nervous system may help explain why.

Endometriosis: a long-ignored disease, despite symptoms that can be traced back to ancient times
Endometriosis is an age-old condition and yet until recently, the complex disorder remained largely overlooked due to medical and social perceptions of women’s pain.
