Background
Endometriosis and adenomyosis are know to cause severe and debilitating symptoms and pain which largely impact daily life and for many women are constant. They are more than just a bad period, And during a period the pain and other symptoms can increase ato the point of being bed bound, hospital visits, fainting and migranes to name just a few symptoms.
We should give these women additional sick leave so when the symptoms are at their worse they can rest and not worry about missing work.
