APEA is a broad group of professionals including gynaecologists, laparoscopic surgeons, researchers, and educators, all with a specific interest in endometriosis.

We hope to share our expertise, enhance research opportunities, and give our region an international voice.

We complement, and work with, endometriosis groups associated with ESHRE (Europe) and the ASRM (North America).


Anyone working with women with endometriosis, including patient group representatives, are invited to join APEA. Membership is free, and all members receive the APEA newsletter three times a year.
