An estimated 5.5 million women are diagnosed with endometriosis each year, yet this
devastating condition remains somewhat of a mystery for doctors and patients alike.
Women who are afflicted with this illness often suffer from excruciating pain,
exhaustion, depression and a myriad of other symptoms. A new site it being launched
by Kristi P. Carter, endometriosissymptom.com, the will help to educate women who
endure the pain, both physical and emotional, of endometriosis. \"I wanted to
provide women with traditional and non traditional medical treatments,\" Carter says,
\"A place of support and understanding that they could visit and learn from.\"

Although not a sufferer herself, Carter has undertaken the daunting task of pulling
together a plethora of resources, information and treatment options, allowing women
who do suffer from endometriosis make informed, knowledgeable decisions about their
illness. She was inspired to take action when two of her very close friends were
diagnosed with endometriosis. It was then that the reality and enormity of the
illness was really brought home for her.

Visitors to the site will have, at their fingertips, information about
endometriosis, its symptoms, causes, cures and treatments. She explores both
traditional and non traditional options for seeking relief from endometriosis.
There is information on the site about getting pregnant when they have
endometriosis, the possible link between endometriosis and certain types of cancer,
treatment options that are available and how patients can work with their doctors to
find the best course of treatment for them.

One item that sets www.endometriosissymptom.com apart from other sites that are
dedicated to endometriosis is the candid and straightforward discussion on
hysterectomy as a treatment for endometriosis. Additionally, alternative treatment
information and support are available in a tone that speaks directly to women.
Because this site was created by women for women, there is an element of
understanding. Women today have a lot on their plate with family, career and
everything in between. A condition such as endometriosis can sabotage all of that
and work in a woman\'s life to separate her from her family and decrease her
performance at work. While a woman needs information on this, they also need
understanding and empathy. They need to know that they are not alone. On this,
Carter comments, \"I know the pain and suffering and frustration that they (women
with endometriosis) experience and wanted to help other women with this condition.\"


Kristi P. Carter of Homewood, Illinois is both creator and owner of the website
www.endometriosissymptom.com. She has other sites that are also dedicated to
