It took 23 years for Laura McDonald to get a diagnosis for her excruciating period pain, also due to endometriosis.
The gold standard to being diagnosed with endometria is through laparoscopic surgery, where surgeons try to excise the endometrial tissue growing outside the uterus and repair any damage.
Both women agree the diagnosis helped validate their pain and opened more doors to help manage it.
Over the past 10 years there have been huge advancements in minimally-invasive gynecological surgery.
