Know Endo

This is Not Normal. This is Life With Endometriosis.

Life with endo

Endometriosis, often called endo, is a common disease, but many people don’t know much about it – some people have never even heard of it. Endo is a serious chronic illness, which means it lasts for more than 6 months and can become worse over time. People with endo can suffer severe menstrual pain, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, anxiety, depression and thoughts of suicide. The disease affects every aspect of a person’s life.
