It has been described as another grim reaper for women. Though it does not kill instantly, but the chronic pain cuts through the soul for long. And the grim reality is, there is no cure for it yet. It is a shocking reality that women all over the world, irrespective of birthplace or tribe, have to deal with.
The Mayo Clinic defines endometriosis as a painful disorder in which the tissue that normally lines inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It most commonly involves the ovaries, bowels or the tissue lining the pelvis.
As a medical condition affecting women, it causes painful symptoms which can interfere with a woman’s quality of life and sometimes compromises fertility.
According to the Endometriosis Support Group Nigeria, the distressing disease affects tens of thousands of girls and women in the country. Although symptoms are usually associated with the menstrual period, there is also the challenge of a proper diagnosis, as it can only be done through a process, referred to as laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery.
