Endometriosis affects around one in nine women and people assigned female at birth. Symptoms can vary widely, including painful and heavy periods, pain during sex, and fertility challenges. Many people wait years for a diagnosis, making early recognition important.

How Pharmacies Can Support Patients with Endometriosis

Pharmacists and pharmacy assistants are often the first point of contact. They can spot warning signs, provide initial advice, counsel on pharmacological treatments, suggest supportive products, and guide patients on when to seek medical care.

Diagnosis and Management Options for Endometriosis

Diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis can be complex. From medical therapies including medication and surgery to lifestyle strategies, patients may benefit from a range of approaches. Knowing the right questions to ask and when to refer is key.

Communicating with Empathy

Patients often feel their pain is dismissed. Using respectful, patient-focused language and validating experiences can improve care and support.
