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.

Risk factors for having endo

  Something I’m asked a lot is does having Endometroisis put me at risk? And in todays blog post I want to talk about it.  Although ovarian cancer occurs at higher rates in women with endometriosis,  the overall lifetime risk is low to begin with . Some studies suggest that endometriosis increases that risk, but it's still relatively low. Endometriosis can cause uterine tissue to grow in the intestines in anywhere from  3 to 37 percent of women Trusted Source  with the condition. In rare cases, the tissue can cause bleeding and scarring that leads to  intestinal obstruction (blockage of the intestine). A small bowel obstruction can cause symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, and problems passing gas or stool. If left untreated, a bowel obstruction can cause pressure to build up, possibly resulting in a bowel perforation (a hole in the bowel). A blockage can also decrease blood supply to the intestines. Both can be fatal. Ectopic pregnancy An  ectopic pregnancy  occurs when a ferti
