Who We Are Endometriosis Egypt

(Endo Egypt) is a non-profit organization community-driven initiative born out of a deep understanding of the struggles women face with endometriosis. We’re not just an organization; we’re a family. Our founders, along with our team and supporters, have either lived with endometriosis or walked alongside someone who has. This personal connection fuels our passion to create a safe, supportive space for every woman affected by this condition.

Providing comprehensive support, resources, and advocacy to enhance their quality of life.

Our Vision

At Egypt Endo, we envision a world where endometriosis is comprehensively understood, diagnosed early, and managed effectively. We dream of a future where no woman suffers in silence, and every individual affected by this condition receives the care, support, and respect they deserve. We strive to lead the way in care, education, and awareness about this disease by:

Breaking the stigma surrounding endometriosis.

Challenging and changing beliefs and myths that perpetuate misunderstandings about the condition.

Ensuring early diagnosis and access to effective treatment.

Empowering patients to take control of their health and improve their quality of life. Together, we can create a community where endometriosis does not hinder a full, healthy, and happy life.

Our Story

Dr. Sayed Al-Akhras has dedicated decades to supporting women with endometriosis, a complex condition he describes as a “silent snake” due to its hidden impact. Recognizing the severe challenges posed by lack of awareness and an average 8-year diagnosis delay, he founded Endometriosis Egypt (Endo Egypt) to educate women and raise societal awareness. His goal is to empower a new generation to manage the condition effectively and reduce its prevalence. At Endo Egypt, we are committed to supporting women in silence, reducing stigma, and creating a society where every woman's voice is heard and valued.

Top 6 symptoms of endometriosis

Severe menstrual pain

Pain during menstruation (dysmenorrhea) that is intense and abnormal, often preventing you from carrying out daily activities.

Pain during or after intercourse

Pain during or after sex (dyspareunia) is a common symptom and may indicate the presence of endometriosis.

Chronic pelvic or lower back pain

Persistent pain in the pelvic area or lower back, not just during menstruation, can be a sign of this condition.

Difficulty conceiving (infertility)

Endometriosis is one of the common causes of infertility or difficulty getting pregnant in women.

Pain during urination or bowel movements

You may experience pain while urinating or having bowel movements, especially during your period, due to the impact of endometriosis on the bladder or intestines.

Abnormal bleeding

Heavy bleeding during periods or bleeding between cycles (irregular bleeding) may occur.

Who does endometriosis effect?

Isn’t it normal to have menstrual cramps?

Menstrual pain that keeps you from participating in usual activities is not normal. Some women never experience menstrual cramps. Others have only mild, occasional pain. If your cramps are severe and/or frequent, it is a sign of a problem.

What causes those terrible menstrual cramps?

An imbalance of substances called prostaglandins could be the problem. Prostaglandins regulate the smooth muscles in the uterus, the intestines, and other tissues. An imbalance of prostaglandins in your body can cause the uterus to contract too strongly and cause a lot of pain.

Can I have endometriosis if I am not sexually active?

Endometriosis is NOT a sexually transmitted disease. Many teens and women who are not sexually active have endo.

Can I die from endometriosis?

No. Endometriosis does not seem to be a life-threatening illness. However, if ignored and left untreated, endo can lead to increased pain, possible infertility, and serious disability. That is why it is so important for teenagers to listen to their bodies, learn to understand the signals and take charge of their health. By taking action now, teens can prevent serious endometriosis problems in the future.

Is there a cure for endometriosis?

Unfortunately, there is no cure yet for Endo. But, the Endometriosis Association, through its ongoing support of medical research around the world, is leading the way toward a cure and an end to endometriosis suffering.
