The fact it takes around 7 to 10 years to diagnose endometriosis really shows that there needs to be steps taken towards fighting it.
Good.
Not a woman, but have friends that suffered from it, just straight up idiotic through how many hoops they had to jump to get help.
Good news
I had endometriosis very badly. It was the aggressive kind. I asked my gynecologist for many years to check for cysts on my ovaries, and she never found any.
when I switched to another one, she immediately found the cysts and referred me to a specialist. after that, it was OK I got appropriate care and treatment but until I got to the specialist, I was told it’s manageable. It should be fine blah blah
then after I got to the specialist, they told me no if you want to have children, you should get surgery. So it was a bit crappy until I finally saw an actual specialist with experience treating endometriosis.
I think I had it from a young age, but birth control kept it from growing. I was diagnosed with cysts at 16. So then from that timeline, it took 14 years to be diagnosed. And the progression of it at the time doesn’t happen over months, this was occurring over a long time.
I hope also some effort is directed into prevention and not only treatment.
Good. I was first diagnosed with endo when I was 14. The only treatment I was offered was birth control pills and a recommendation to get pregnant ASAP. Twenty years later, the folks at the endo clinic at Inselspital in Bern actually took the time to look at how widespread the damage was and I had to have a hysterectomy and the removal of lesions on my intestines, appendix, and bladder within three months. No one should have to suffer as long as I did. I hope that more funding and more support means that people get seen by doctors like those at the clinic before they need extensive surgery.
