Endometriosis

Unread post by ratperson »

Just a quick question - will there ever be an article about endometriosis? I'm finding that a lot of women in Facebook support groups started having symptoms in their teens, and this site does a BRILLIANT job of explaining most things, like when and how to get help, so I feel like a scarleteen article on the topic would be really valuable in encouraging teens to get help for abnormally painful periods and other troubling symptoms. (take this down if you wish, I know this is a mod-only post area in that mods are the only ones starting posts, but I figured it was the best place to ask)

Awesome!

When it's done, I'll probably share it all over the various Facebook groups I'm in where it's relevant, because then people can distribute it to their friends as well, particularly those with children with uteri who need this sort of information. :D It's something that's quoted as 1 in 10 women having it, with an average of 10 years until diagnosis (for me it was about 5, but I was one of the lucky ones to find a specialist quickly and already sort of do my research), so it's really awesome that you're planning an article.
