Abstract

The answer is simpler than the question ! Endometriosis and infertility, a heavy burden: psychological and physical pains do not simply add but potentialise each other, especially when hard life-events have already darkened the past. All the more difficult for these women who have long felt they were considered as nervous and "hysterical", and not as "real" patients, despite their effective and now well-known painful symptoms. They will recover their dignity if we, health practitioners, recognize their right and their need to be taken in charge by a multidisciplinary team, in a psychosomatic approach. Every specialist will, each with his own means, work for their health, meaning the present and future well-being of those endometriosic infertile women.
