“So I went to the doctors a couple of times… I was like ‘I really do think I have endometriosis’, I have every sign and symptom of it, my period pains are to the point where I literally can’t stand up. I’m in unbearable pain, I have to take time off work, it’s just ridiculous.
“Every single doctor said to me ‘no, no, no, you definitely don’t have endometriosis’,” she explained.
“Anyway, I went to this other doctor who was a specialist in endometriosis, and straight away they said ‘You absolutely do have endometriosis, it’s clear as day’.”
Endometriosis can be tricky for doctors to diagnose because the symptoms can be similar to the symptoms of many other conditions, according to the NHS.
Some of the other symptoms include pain during and after sex, pain when peeing or pooing during your period.
