The pain caused by endometriosis is both physically and mentally exhausting. It takes 8 – 10 years to be accurately diagnosed and no new medical advances have been made in the last 20 years. In South Africa, there are minimal support structures in place for women who suffer from endometriosis – yet there are millions of women suffering in silence. Many of these women may not even know they have endometriosis and simply believe that the pain and debilitation that goes hand in hand with endometriosis is just something women “have to put up with”! Nothing could be further from the truth!
