Abstract
Many doctors, both general practitioners and specialists, find endometriosis difficult to manage. Equally, many patients are dissatisfied with the care they receive. Endometriosis is the presence of endometrium at sites outside the endometrial cavity. It has long been known that the symptoms experienced by a patient may seem disproportionate to the extent of the disease observed within that patient's pelvis. For the patient it is not the endometriosis that is important but rather the illness that they experience. In this article I address the treatment of symptomatic endometriosis and infertility associated with the disease.
