Endometriosis and fertility

Endometriosis is the name given to the condition where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb are found elsewhere in the body. For many people this condition can have a huge impact on fertility. It is estimated that 30 to 50% of people with Endo will experience fertility problems. To discuss this in more detail I am joined this week by Louise Collyer, a highly experienced TCM acupuncturist, Chinese Medicine herbalist and Functional Medicine practitioner, who specialises in women's health, fertility and endometriosis.We discuss:what is endometriosis and how does it presentWhy does it take so long for people to get a proper diagnosisHow to diagnose endometriosisWhy surgery for endometriosis can be so complex and how long waiting times can beHow does endometriosis impact fertilityWhat are the treatments available for endometriosisWhat is the holistic approach to endometriosisEndometriosis and the link with gut healthWhy testing and investigations are important as soon as possibleEndometriosis and egg qualityEndometriosis and the microbiomeRecommendations for how to get proper investigations and treatmentLouise’s programme for endo support.You can find out more about Louise's Endometriosis programme here, which is available to anyone across the country.
