    Summary: 
    "This book will be the only comprehensive and accessible guide for young women and girls who are or may be struggling with the physical, psychological, and social effects of endometriosis"--
    Secking explains what endometriosis is, in terms that adolescents can understand. Endo is not just part of 'becoming a woman', and many women have been diagnosed for decades. It is a physically and mentally debilitating disease that currently affects 176 million women of childbearing age worldwide. Young women need to know the truth about the disease so they can overcome their fears, advocate for their own health, and begin the quest of healing. -- adapted from back cover.
