March marks Endometriosis Awareness Month, dedicated to taking action on a disease that has no known cause, nor cure - despite nearly 200 million people suffering with it around the world.
Around 1.5 million women and those assigned female at birth are currently living with the condition in the UK, according to the Endometriosis UK website - around one in 10. But campaigners say that there is still a lot of work to be done when it comes to raising awareness of endometriosis, including improving diagnosis and care.
Steve Irwin's daughter Bindi Irwin recently brought the disease to attention by publicly sharing her diagnosis earlier this week on Instagram. Bindi, 24, explained that she had decided to undergo surgery for endometriosis after spending a decade struggling with "insurmountable fatigue, pain and nausea" due to the condition, with the chronic pain having "torn apart" her life.
