Resources to learn more about Endometriosis

While my book on endometriosis is finally in the editing stages, it has a while until it will be ready to be published. Still, I got to thinking about what resources there are now about endo, not only from a medical standpoint but also from a sufferers point of view.

I found books for sale as well as other blog posts, which was amazing to see how much there is out there. Still, it got me thinking, people who don't know what they are looking for might never find any of these resources, so I thought I would make a blog post detailing what each resource is about and the link to that resource as well as ways you yourself can find information. 

Disclaimer: Podcasts will not be involved in this post, but I do have a post on my blog from May 2021 all about endometriosis podcasts if that's what you are looking for. 

So how do you find resources?

The easiest way to find resources in your area would be to search up online Endometriosis and your area. Example. Endometriosis San Diego 
This will bring up services like specialists in your area as well as available resources near you. 

Another way to find resources would to just search up endometriosis, but this will bring up a lot of information that may not even apply to you specifically, which is why if you are looking for certain information, then it will be best to add onto your search what you are looking for. 

Endometriosis resources I found:

When I was looking for books and blogs, I just searched it up and plenty popped up. 
All I searched was
  • Endometriosis blogs
  • Books on Endometriosis
Because it is so easy to find the information on these, I won't go into these, but I will go into the different websites and what they offer.

Youngwomenshealth.org: Young women's health is run by the Boston children's hospital that talks about endometriosis and other gynecological conditions that affect women. This is a helpful resource for loved ones of those suffering to learn more about the condition.

Endometriosis Foundation of America: Endometriosis Foundation of America is a comprehensive website all about endometriosis educational materials and information regarding endometriosis research. You can also read stories from fellow endometriosis warriors. 

The Endometriosis Association: This organization is run by women with endometriosis and healthcare providers. It focuses on education, support, and help toward finding a cure as well as being heard.

Endometriosis.org: This site provides information and news about endometriosis to help patients make more informed decisions around their treatment options as well as keep up to date on what is going on currently.

Endometriosis Research Center: This is an organization that has information on education and research for endometriosis as well as information on advocacy and legislative efforts.

The differences between endo, PCOS and Adenomyosis

  While I usually only talk about endometriosis here on my blog, I decided that I wanted to spread awareness on two other conditions that you can have as well as endometriosis, and that’s PCOS (polycystic overt syndrome) and Adenomyosis.  Before I start, let’s go over what each one is.  Google defines endometriosis as A disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. With endometriosis, the tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes or the intestines. But it can grow anywhere.  Google defines adenomyosis as A condition in which endometrial tissue exists within and grows into the uterine wall. Adenomyosis most often occurs late in childbearing years and typically disappears after menopause Google defines PCOS as A hormonal disorder causing enlarged ovaries with small cysts on the outer edges. The cause of polycystic ovary syndrome isn't well understood but may involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. So now...
