Infection by a particular group of bacteria could be linked to endometriosis, a painful condition that affects up to 10% of women and girls of reproductive age. In a study of 155 women in Japan, members of the bacterial genus Fusobacterium were found in the uteruses of around 64% of those with endometriosis, and 7% of those who do not have the condition1. Follow-up experiments in mice infected with Fusobacterium showed that treatment with an antibiotic could reduce the size and frequency of the lesions, which are…

The condition can have a serious affect on a person's quality of life, often causing a range of symptoms including chronic pain, fatigue and pain during sex.Despite how common endometriosis is, most women wait on average 7.5 years for a diagnosis in the UK.

It affects one in ten women of reproductive age, causing debilitating pain, excessive bleeding, and inflammation.There are other…

“Like little elves in my belly, just punching, kicking, beating up my organs.” This is how Shea O’Donnell, a psychology graduate student at San Diego State University, used to describe pain from a disease called endometriosis to their mom when they were 12 years old. Years later, they still contend with digestive issues, back pain, and abdominal and vaginal cramping, almost like a “very painful flu.” It’s estimated that about one in 10 people who menstruate suffer from endometriosis, which occurs when tissue that grows…
