Endometriosis: ‘It’s the kind of pain that takes the breath from you and makes you fall to your knees’

My hope is that women will not have to wait for a diagnosis. It’s currently 9 years in Ireland. I wish for a day where we have access to excision surgery from the initial diagnosis stage, knowing that repeated surgeries can lead to complications and reduced fertility. It is essential to have one surgery done right.
