Many women seldom get the medical attention they require, or frequently have their symptoms miscalculated.

The average time taken for a full diagnosis for endometriosis is 7 1/2 years in the UK.

A cure for these conditions has not yet been found.
It is important to us to start a conversation, so that young women can be aware of these conditions and seek help earlier, and not feel anxiety or confusion later in life.
