Kate Mansi from General Hospital has recalled how she received an endometriosis diagnosis over 10 years ago due to surgical assistance from her stepfather.
The actor, who portrays Kristina in the soap opera, recently directed an episode that addresses the chronic condition that occurs when tissue meant to be on the inside of the uterus grows on the outside. According to the Mayo Clinic, endometriosis can result in severe pelvic or menstrual pain, as well as very heavy periods and possible infertility.
