More than five million women in the United States and Canada suffer the physical and emotional pain of chronic endometriosis. Despite this number, endometriosis is a disease that is largely unknown to the general public. Coping with Endometriosis educates readers about this disorder, which affects a woman's reproductive and immune system, causing painful growths, bleeding, and often infertility. In addition to the latest research on treatment of endometriosis, this book addresses the psychological and emotional concerns brought on by its diagnosis.
