Spotlight on: Endometriosis

Katy Elliott, Feb 03 2021

Endometriosis is a chronic condition affecting 1 in 10 people with a uterus of reproductive age globally. Despite being so common, there’s limited awareness and understanding of it among the public and health professionals. The condition takes a long time to diagnose and has ongoing mental, physical and economic impacts. To really understand endometriosis, we have to hear from those who have experienced it. So, I invited a friend to guest post and tell the story of advocating for her needs in order to reach an endometriosis diagnosis and reflect on what happened after. Thank you, Mic for sharing your story.
