- Endometriosis is a disease without known cause, that can cause pain and
- misery to its sufferers. The endometrial tissue which normally lines the
- uterus, and undergoes a monthly cycle of growth and shedding, mysteriously
- locates outside of the uterus, in the ovaries, vagina and rectum for example,
- but continues to follow the same patterns it does within the uterus. The
- resulting internal bleeding, and degeneration of blood and tissue, causes
- inflammation and scarring, provoking the pain and other problems that occur.
- Women who are afflicted with this disease often need knowledge and and
- support, which can be obtained from the Endometriosis Foundation, which was
- formed to accomplish just that. You can obtain a most informative packet,
- that contains a brochure about endometriosis, a newsletter, a publications
- list and more information about the Foundation by sending a stamped
- self-addressed envelope directly to The Endometriosis Foundation, P.O. Box
- 92187, Milwaukee, Wisc. 53202, with your request. If the situation is urgent,
- or you wish to speak to someone now, you may call their toll free number
- 1-800-992-ENDO for information and prompt attention.
