How to live a fulfilling shared sexuality when you suffer from endometriosis?

About 10 to 15% of women in the world, or three to four million people in France, are affected by this condition.

This chronic gynecological disease of women of childbearing age is characterized by the development of a uterine lining (endometrium) outside the uterus.

Its main symptom?

In 7 out of 10 cases, sometimes very strong pain during menstruation.

And, sometimes, pain during penetrative sex.

How to locate the source of pain?

Marie-Rose Galès, a patient with endometriosis, has had a long journey to make sexuality rhyme with fulfillment.

She tells and disseminates information on the blog "Endometriosis my love", in an eponymous podcast, and on social networks.

She has also published the book

Endo et Sexo

with Josette Lyon editions.
