A Northern Ireland makeup artist and influencer has opened up on how she had to fight for years for an endometriosis diagnosis.
Olivia McVeigh, 24, from Co Tyrone, who also recently fought to receive her alopecia diagnosis, started her periods at the age of ten - which she says were 'extremely heavy and painful' causing her to faint on a number of occasions.
When she was 16, Olivia decided to go to the doctor to get to the root cause of her pain but didn't receive an answer until she went private. Her formal diagnosis was on January 19, 2022 when she underwent surgery.
