Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a complex and often misunderstood condition that can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, leading to a range of symptoms including pelvic pain, heavy periods and fertility challenges. Dr Claire Francis offers expert care and personalised treatment plans to help women manage endometriosis and improve their well-being.

What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis affects an estimated 1 in 9 women of reproductive age. This condition can involve the ovaries, fallopian tubes and pelvic lining, with the misplaced tissue behaving like uterine tissue — thickening, breaking down and bleeding during each menstrual cycle. Because this tissue has no way to exit the body, it can cause inflammation, scarring and the formation of cysts.

While there is currently no cure for endometriosis, effective management can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Dr Claire Francis takes a holistic approach, offering compassionate care and empowering women to take control of their health.
