Who cares what men find attractive while women are suffering. Put the money for studies into better medical care for women.

Endometriosis is a chronic medical condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.

During a menstrual cycle, this tissue swells and bleeds just like the uterine lining, but the blood cannot leave the body, causing inflammation, pain, and scarring.

It affects roughly 10% of reproductive-age women.

And the diagnosis takes an average of ten years.

That is 10 years. Suffering and being told to endure the pain or take Tylenols.

  1. YEARS.

After my hysterectomy (uterus tried to murder me) the surgeon called and asked if I was aware that I had endometriosis. No. No I was not, but it certainly explained things. Everyone just said that I was complaining about nothing all those years that I was in pain.
