Author Description

Written in association with the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI), and with contributions from a multitude of recognised experts led by FOGSI (2025-2026) president Sunita Tandulwadkar; the Ethical Evidence-based Recommendations (EEBR) series provides clinicians with the latest updates and advances in the field, with each book focusing on a different subspecialty. Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows on other parts of the body. It can cause painful symptoms that can impact not only the menstrual cycle, but also daily life. Some women with endometriosis have difficulty getting pregnant due to scarring and fallopian tube blockage as well. It is a complex condition affecting women across all life stages, each with unique manifestations and management requirements. This book begins with foundational recommendations on diagnosis, providing practitioners with insights to accurately identify the condition. Then, recognising age-specific needs, the text addresses management in adolescents focusing on early intervention, and in reproductive-age women, where emphasis is on managing endometriosis-associated pain and infertility. Symptom management is a key focus of this book, with both pharmacological and non-pharmacological options considered. Other titles in the series include: Antenatal Fetal Surveillance Fibroids Genetics in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy Induction of Labor Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Postpartum Hemorrhage Preterm Labor
