A Co Down woman, who underwent a hysterectomy at the age of 30 after being left in excruciating pain due to endometriosis, says she is still suffering with the effects of the disease.
Samantha Campbell is speaking out to mark Endometriosis Awareness Month and has urged other women living with the symptoms "not to suffer in silence".
Endometriosis is a long-term condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes, affecting one in 10 women worldwide.
