Endometriosis

Endometriosis is where cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other parts of the body. It can have a big impact on your life, but there are treatments that can help.

It is completely normal to feel you need emotional support as you deal with living with endometriosis. Endometriosis affects more than just the physical body and can have a profound emotional impact on those living with the condition.

Our endometriosis support group

Alongside local patients, we have established a support group for anyone who is living with endometriosis, or supports someone who is.

The group meets at The Hive at Rayleigh Baptist Church on the last Friday of every month. Here you can meet others who may be in a similar position, talk about your experiences and share tips and advice.
