Endometriosis is a chronic gynaecological condition affecting millions of women worldwide, characterised by the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus. Research has increasingly focused on the role of diet in the development and management of endometriosis. Evidence suggests that a diet high in meat and refined foods is associated with an increased risk of endometriosis, whereas a plant-based diet may have protective effects. Renowned consultant women’s health expert and consultant gynaecologist Mr Mahantesh Karoshi explores the link between the diet and endometriosis/ adenomyosis.
