🎗 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition where endometrial tissue (tissue similar to the lining of the uterus) grows outside of the uterus. It is estimated that 1 in 10 women have endometriosis. Endometriosis frequently presents with the symptom of pain, including dysmenorrhoea (painful periods), dyspareunia (pain during sexual in*******se), and chronic pelvic or abdominal pain.
💛 Unfortunately, even in 2021, it takes, on average, 7.5 years to get a diagnosis for women. On top of forcing them to live in physical and mental pain for that time, it can lead to severe complications like infertility. We need to unlock the too often taboo conversation around menstrual health and stop normalising menstrual pain. Merely trying to live a normal life should not be painful.
🌻 This summer, you will hear the amazing and brave sharing her experience and her journey towards a diagnosis. We need to talk about this issue as loud as possible so it becomes more normalise and women can receive the care they need as soon as possible. The episode is already in post-prod and will be released this summer.
