Endometriosis Relief Roadmap is a clear, evidence-based guide for people who want straight answers and practical next steps. It explains how endometriosis is investigated, the limits of scans, and what to expect from medical and surgical care. You’ll find plain-language summaries of hormonal options, pain management strategies, pelvic floor therapy, nutrition basics, and how excision differs from ablation. There is a full section on fertility planning, including timing, testing, and choices before and after surgery.
