Background
There is an urgent need for the way in which endometriosis is viewed as a long term standing illness. It is also vital that further research is undertaken to provide millions of individuals suffering with this condition a voice and for reassurance that it is not just “simply period pain” but a condition that affects not just ones physical health but their mental well-being too. Endometriosis is one of the most painful conditions that require investment for change, ease of pain & better outcomes
