Living with endometriosis is so much more than “bad periods.”💛
It can mean years of unexplained pain.
Years of being told it’s normal.
Years of appointments, tests, medications, missed work, cancelled plans and wondering why your body is fighting against you.
In Australia, around 1 in 7 women are estimated to have been diagnosed with endometriosis and the average time between symptoms beginning and receiving a diagnosis can be 10yrs.
We need more research and meaningful funding so we can improve early diagnosis, develop better pain management options, and understand the condition beyond simply managing symptoms.
We need better access to education around nutrition and anti-inflammatory approaches, physiotherapy and multidisciplinary care, with evidence-based information so women aren’t left trying to navigate their health alone.
Because 1 in 7 is not a small number.
And behind every statistic is a person trying to live their life.
If you live with endometriosis, you are not alone. And if you know someone who does, listen, believe them and support them.

I lived with it until the age of 48 and then I hit menopause no more symptoms. Countless surgeries and meds no relief for me. Hope everything goes well for you🙏
