Crippling pain, constant exhaustion, infertility. Some 1.5 million people suffer with this horrific condition, many will have spent years in confusion as they waited for an official diagnosis - many more people have no idea what it even is.
Endometriosis is a medical condition that affects 1 in 10 women in the UK. That’s 1.5 million women, a similar number to those affected by diabetes, according to Endometriosis UK. With no definitive cause or cure, endometriosis has been branded a 'missed disease' and remains buried in myth.
Chances are, someone in your life will have the condition - if not, a host of high profile women have been candid about their diagnosis. Among those living with the condition are Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley, Spice Girl Emma Bunton, and Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague, who has openly shared her struggles with endometriosis, including the 'excruciating pain'.
