Had to look that one up...
Endometriosis is a condition in which cells similar to those in the endometrium, the layer of tissue that normally covers the inside of the uterus, grow outside of it. Most often this is on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and tissue around the uterus and ovaries; however, in rare cases it may also occur in other parts of the body.
Damn, that sounds sore coming from someone who doesn't even have a uterus. Hope the study bring good results.
It's super painful, yeah. And almost all of us who have it have stories about being totally dismissed by doctors who think we're just whining about regular cramps. No no. This is "wishing for the sweet release of death" pain. So if people can get diagnosed that simply, even possibly routinely before symptom onset, maybe they can get some kind of treatment and spare them some of that pain, as well as shut up doctors who gaslight their patients.
Here's hoping!
