A disease that’s been described as more painful than childbirth labor, that’s one of the leading causes of organ failure & hospitalization in women, girls, and persons assigned female at birth, and is as prevalent as diabetes, shouldn’t be a mystery to the medical community and shouldn’t take up to 10 years or longer to diagnose.

According to the Mayo Clinic, “Endometriosis (en-doe-me-tree-O-sis) is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside your uterus. Endometriosis most commonly involves your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis. Rarely, endometrial-like tissue may be found beyond the area where pelvic organs are located.”
