Endometriosis Patient Story

This involved multiple chocolate cysts on the Ovaries, which were stuck to the Uterus by adhesions.

I had difficulty in standing upright. The monthly menstrual cycle included the above, as well as the very heavy thick, flooding loss, which was black in colour.

This had an effect on my self-worth and confidence; not helped by my fluctuating weight gain. It was an endurance.
