Description
Endometriosis: A Hidden Crisis for Women - Women with this condition share harrowing stories of severe pain and delayed diagnoses, averaging nine years and four months for a proper diagnosis. Symptoms include crippling cramps, heavy bleeding, and infections, with some facing denial of pain relief or dismissal of their issues. Surgeries reveal advanced stages on organs, yet follow-up care often falls short. The condition takes a toll on work and mental health, with women facing discrimination and lack of support. Campaigner Sanju Pal is advocating for endometriosis to be recognized as a disability under the Equality Act to protect workplace rights. Experts and groups stress the need for better training and recognition to improve lives.
