Female ‘nail’ in pain from endometriosis
Since Becky Thomas was a teenager, she has experienced pain and chronic fatigue at a time.
Despite serious symptoms, it took doctors eight years to diagnose a cleavedon woman with endometriosis. GPS initially stated that its pain was caused by “over-surprise” or “anxiety”.
The 26 -year -old is now calling for more research and awareness about the situation to help other women.
“When I was 11 years old, I am very painful. I felt that it was very normal and it was only that. There was no research in it, we did not know much about it,” he said.

About 1.5 million women in the UK are considered this condition, which causes pain and excessive fatigue as a result of tissue similar to the lining of the pregnancy elsewhere in the body.
When she was 13 years old, Ms. Thomas said that she remembers “Keeling Over Egoni” behind the class.
“I knew something was not right,” said Ms. Thomas.
“My skin looked very bad than anyone I knew, my back pain was crazy. It was not quite normal for me.
“Three weeks out of every month I was passing through him.”
His doctor put him on a bullet to help manage the pain, but he gave him a migraine, so he shut down it in 2018.
The pain then worsened, and his doctor said that it should be due to “anxiety or exercise”.
Her sister hummed the symptoms when Ms. Thomas was able to return to her surgery and asked to test for endometriosis.
The only treatment introduced to him was a Mirena Coil, and now he feels that he is “placed on the back burner” and there is no medicine.
He has now found a support group where people with condition can talk about their experiences.
“It is good to talk to other women who have,” Ms. Thomas said.
“There is no cure. Pain management can be difficult.
“I mask it too much at work and in relationships because you don’t want to be a burden.
“There is a need to have more research and money. And women need to make more space.”
Support and care
A spokesman for the Bristol, North Somerset and South Glosterushair Integrated Care Board said “he encourages anyone with concerns about his care provider” with concerns to discuss these “.
“We are working with general physicians of Bristol, North Somerset and South Glosterushair to ensure that women need to support and care for them.
He said, “This includes referral guidance on endometriosis, as well as updating other gynecological conditions and providing training and education.”
