What to expect

Bloomsbury presents Endometriosis: Understand your symptoms, get the right treatment, reclaim your life, written and read by Jen Moore

'Everything you need to empower yourself about endometriosis ... highly recommend this.'
Dr Nighat Arif, author, GP, broadcaster

Have you struggled to get diagnosed, be believed or get the right treatment for endometriosis? This book is for you.

We still don’t know what causes endometriosis, and we don’t know how to cure it either. What we do know is that it can cause debilitating pain and seriously affect mental health. Endometriosis is not ‘just a bad period’; it is a whole-body disease which is as common as asthma or diabetes, affecting 1 in 10 women. Yet it is barely covered in medical school, leaving sufferers repeatedly dismissed when trying to access care.

Backed with up-to-date scientific knowledge and interviews with endometriosis specialists and those affected by the condition, Jen Moore gives you all the tools you need to:

- Understand what endometriosis is (and what it is not)
- Deal with the system and get a diagnosis
- Navigate the ins and outs of surgery
- Cope with physical and mental pain
- Fight for better endometriosis care

This beacon of hope is your go-to guide to endometriosis, getting the care you deserve and finally feeling seen and heard.

Critics Review

Comprehensive, accessible and incredibly useful
BBC Radio 5 Live
Everything you need to empower yourself about endometriosis, from how to manage the symptoms, even what to pack in the hospital bag, to managing lifelong symptoms – highly recommend this.
Dr Nighat Arif, author, GP, broadcaster
A refreshing read from lived experiences. This is a useful overview on endometriosis and the challenges it creates. I love that it's inclusive and highlights inequities that exist too. It's a helpful guide everyone needs to read.
Dr Aziza Sesay, Vice Chair and Creative Director of Black Female Doctors UK
Jen is an amazing advocate, campaigner and educator within the community. She always conveys her message and information with empathy, accuracy and relatability. Having people like Jen doing the work she does makes a difference to the lives of so many.
Gabz Pearson, Co-founder of Menstrual Health Project
An essential book that will help all women feel less alone on their endometriosis journey, and help educate and inform those who don't understand what endometriosis is and all its complexities. This book will change so many women's experiences, thank you Jen for writing it.
Clare Bourne, author of 'Strong Foundations'
As a thoracic surgeon who dared to speak out, I’m heartened to see the reality of endometriosis starting to gain the attention it deserves.
Dr Francesco Di Chiara, thoracic surgeon
A must-read for patients, families, and doctors – a perfect blend of personal stories and expert insights.
Mr Mikey Adamczyk MD MRCOG, endometriosis specialist
I’d prescribe this book for all GPs to read – we have been painfully slow and dismissive in the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis for too long. I can see this book changing that and I really hope it does.
Dr Ellie Cannon, resident 'Mail on Sunday' GP
Got endo? You need this book.
Maisie Hill, author of 'Period Power'
A brilliant transparent guide on how to navigate life, relationships and symptoms when it comes to endometriosis. It really offers practical nuggets and I think it will be helpful for those struggling with endometriosis but also for those who have family members, partners or friends with the condition.
Dr Raj Arora, GP, TV medic and endometriosis sufferer
A compassionate, empowering guide for anyone navigating the complex and often invalidating world of endometriosis.
Centre for Endometriosis Care
The book is a one-stop shop for everything about endometriosis … it offers everything you need to know about the debilitating disease.
The Shields Gazette
Extremely helpful, accurate and committed to patients
Nancy Petersen, Nancy's Nook
