Approximately 1 in 8 women are effected by endometriosis,

 many of these women.....

• do not know what endometriosis is..
• believe these symptoms to be a "normal" part of being a woman..
• can take up to 8 years to be diagnosed as they don't recognise the symptoms...
• endure the pain alone without support..
• do not talk about their problems with their family or their health professional
