  • Nearly 14,000 women in Liverpool could be suffering from a ‘hidden condition’ that causes painful, heavy periods and can lead to infertility
  • The article features a quote from Endometriosis UK: “As it’s a hidden condition, it can be hard for those with the disease to get others to understand or believe the level of pain they are suffering from. “There needs to be more education and awareness raising so people recognise the symptoms of the disease and can seek help, and more research into endometriosis to develop effective diagnosis and treatments.”
