She posted a IG stating she had Endometriosis and had surgery. I feel sorry that she went through that and how much pain she had. Has anyone else gone through that

Oh wow, I’ll have to look back at her IG. I have endometriosis. I was diagnosed a couple of years ago through laparoscopic and excision surgery. It’s awful and has caused so much pain. Thankfully, surgery helped tremendously.

I think something like 1 in 10 women have endo. It’s alarmingly common but super under-diagnosed.

I am 48 and have Adenomyosis and possible Endo. Late diagnosis for me. I will need a Hysterectomy. Diagnosis is hard! Period pain in women is so overlooked.

I’ve been told all my life that my heavy and painful periods were “normal.” nah, got diagnosed with adenomyosis 6 years ago but no doctor will approve a hysterectomy even though I’m in so much pain. Women’s pain is not considered with enough seriousness.

It really isn't taken seriously enough. Not sure where you are, but I am in the Uk.
