Tips when using endometriosis apps

Do ()

  • Talk with your healthcare provider about your specific situation. An app can be helpful to keep track of your symptoms as part of your management plan, but because every person's experience is different, the symptoms vary from person to person. Some have very few or mild symptoms, while others are affected more severely by a wider range of symptoms. It's important not to rely on the app as your only source of information or to make a diagnosis.
  • Use an app to keep track of your symptoms as part of your management plan. Use graphs and reporting for a discussion with your healthcare provider.
  • Exercise caution when reading information on discussion boards or group chat rooms. Some apps have interactive features, eg, discussion boards or group chat rooms, where users can share their experiences. Be cautious because in most cases these aren't monitored by a health professional so the advice or suggestions may not be safe or effective practice.

Don’t (✘)

  • Rely on apps to make a diagnosis of your condition.
  • Make changes to your medicines based on the recommendations from the app.

Before choosing an app, think about how it will benefit you and what you want it to be able to do.

  • An app will only be helpful if you use it, so it needs to be something you like using and find easy to use.
  • If you find the app difficult to use, or you don't like the imagery or look of it, or the language it uses, you may want to find another one that suits you better.

  • It's important to remember that apps don’t replace professional help or your doctor’s advice.
