Abstract
Endometriosis is a common disease associated with pelvic pain and infertility. The etiology and physiology are poorly understood, often frustrating clinicians and patient. Treatment may be medical or surgical, or a combination of these. Nursing care involves education of couples about endometriosis and its physical and psychological implications.
