Niam | Woman Diagnosed with Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus (called the endometrium) grows outside of the uterus. This tissue can grow on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bladder, bowel, and other pelvic organs, causing pain and inflammation.

It affects approximately 1 in 10 women worldwide.
