World-wide millions of women in their reproductive prime suffer from endometriose. This widespread disease with benign tumour characteristics strongly impacts the lives of affected women, overshadowing and even destroying partnerships, family, sexuality and career through pain and sterility.

The first edition of this book was quickly out of stock, documenting the urgent need by both doctors and patients for up-to-date information. The second revised edition incorporates all of the newest insights and developments regarding this prevalent disease and creates thereby the groundwork for its effective treatment.
