Supporting your teen with endometriosis
Adolescence is a time of change as a child grows into an adult. Starting periods is one of these changes, and for some young people it can bring unexpected pain. For some young people, this pain may be a sign of early endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
This fact sheet explains what endometriosis is, how you can support your teen and where to find help.
