The SIGEED brings together two areas of women’s health that are closely related: endometriosis and endometrial disorders.
We are interested in the role of the endometrium in reproductive physiology and in gynaecological disorders such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, and pelvic pain syndrome. The SIGEED addresses all aspects of these disorders: pathogenesis (endometrial biology), epidemiology, diagnosis, medical and surgical* treatment, quality of life and social consequences of the disease, and complementary approaches to treatment.

• to organise training activities and/or sessions related to endometrial biology and endometriosis integrated into the main ESHRE meetings,

• to update guidelines for the diagnosis and management of endometriosis and endometrial disorders
  
  
• to maximise public and European government awareness of endometriosis and endometrial disorders
  
  

The SIGEED combines a basic and a clinical focus on research and training related to endometriosis and endometrial disorders (e.g. endometrial pathophysiology, adenomyosis, fibroids, abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pain syndrome).
