endometriosis index: studies, articles, and medical guidelines
 


I have subdivided these in the following manner: articles that are from medical journals or others filled with medical jargon are classed under "studies." Articles appropriate for the layperson are classed under "articles." This is not to suggest only medical professionals should read the studies; anyone interested should dive on in! I may need to recheck these, so if one seems out of place, that is why. Sites are arranged alphabetically by title in each category.
