Why theendopedia exists

Hi, I'm Fadeelah. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2023 through laparoscopic surgery, where I also had it removed. As is common, it's since come back. Looking back, I've been dealing with symptoms on and off for what feels like 20 years.

After my diagnosis I did what I imagine a lot of you do: searched everywhere. TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, random supplement blogs at 2am. New things kept popping up, old things kept getting contradicted, and there was no single place that pulled it all together in a way I could trust.

So I built one. This is a hobby project. I'm not getting paid, I have no commercial interests, and there's nothing here I want to sell you.

A few things to be upfront about: I'm not a doctor, and nothing here should be taken as medical advice. Use it as a starting point, a way to walk into a conversation with your gynaecologist better informed. A baseline, not a prescription.

I also built this with the help of AI, both for the research and for the site itself. Every entry is grounded in real published studies, but I'm one person with a laptop and a lot of late nights, not a clinical team.
