Ryanair cabin crew given six months to have baby after bleeding for 36 days

A woman was diagnosed with an incurable chronic pain condition after bleeding for 36 days.

Ryanair cabin crew member Michaela McKenna, 33, said: "I was tired, I was anaemic, I was emotional. It was terrible, and no one was listening. I was diagnosing myself."

Michaela, from Speke, has endometriosis, a condition affecting one in 10 people assigned female at birth, which occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere in the body, causing pain and heavy bleeding during periods.
