Increasingly recognized as a common gynecologic disorder, endometriosis is the cause of much pain, infertility, and sexual dysfunction. Its chronic symptoms are difficult to diagnose and treat. The author discusses theories of etiology and prevention, available surgical and pharmaceutical treatments, and the effects and side effects. Up-to-date information reflects thorough research. There are excellent chapters on the emotional aspects of coping with chronic disease, pain and stress management, exploring alternative therapies, and taking responsibility for your health. An appendix provides an excellent glossary as well as resource organizations and related literature. For public libraries and women's health collections. Nancy B. Burrell, USF/New Coll. Lib., Sarasota, Fla.
