Like Florence Pugh, my endometriosis went undiagnosed for years
The actress froze her eggs to save her fertility — Holly Bourne’s only hope was surgery
Now Florence Pugh has been diagnosed with endometriosis, the Times asked me to write about the two decades it took me to get care, and why it's so vital endometriosis EXPERTS treat women whenever possible, not just general gynaes. www.thetimes.com/life-style/c....

Why is my fertility more important than my endometriosis pain?
Emily, who is 26, says her requests for a hysterectomy are ignored because of her age.
This is why we need more #endometriosis awareness… after years of being told I was weak/a drama queen for not being able to cope before/during/after my period, I remember crying when a doctor told me he wasn’t going to leave me in pain!!!
👇🏻 makes me so angry and sad
