Well, I thank you for that, and I think that we've heard already how the symptoms are treated, not the root cause of the problem. Can I just quote Emily once again? I remind you that she's only 23 years of age:

'I live in everyday pain and try to manage as best I can. My fertility isn't looking great. I just hope all the time for some sort of relief. But because my endometriosis was left to develop to such a severe state, my chances of living a normal, pain-free life are slim. My advice to any other women out there who are being let down by the gender health gap is to not take "no" for an answer. Listen to your body, and don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking that it's all in your head. You know your body better than anyone else. Fight for its right to be heard.'
