  Endometriosis and fibroids are the two most common ailments affecting women in their reproductive years. Ten per cent of women are diagnosed with endometriosis (30-40 per cent of whom become infertile as a result) and as many as a third suffer from fibroids. Both conditions are difficult to diagnose and therefore they are often dismissed as psychological problems, leaving women to suffer in silence from conditions which, in extreme cases, can be fatal. In this reassuring and down-to-earth guide, Dr Sarah Brewer deals clearly and comprehensively with these ailments, the method of diagnosis and the treatments that have been developed to fight them. The recommend-ed diets, hormonal and analgesic treatments, as well as recent advances in keyhole surgery, are all explained and it is fully endorsed by the National Endometriosis Society.
