There’s something odd about March if you’re among the estimated 200 million people who suffers from endometriosis worldwide. Something strange about seeing people discuss the condition openly when, for so much of the year, it flies under the radar.
In fact, ordinarily endo’s profile is so low that 62 per cent of young people in the UK between the ages of 16 and 24 admit they don’t know what it is. Sufferers face a long road to diagnosis, and often find their pain is not believed, normalised and downplayed.
