I’m Azi, I’m 29 years old living in the UK and what you have come across is my Endometriosis journey that I want to share with you. It is one that has taught me the most and has made me realise that my experience with Endometriosis is unfortunately not so uncommon and that the horrible truth is this disease is to some extent destroying the lives of women. With this ugly truth my dream would be to help other women.
The first time I heard the word ‘Endometriosis’ I didn’t know what it meant so I wanted to do this blog to share everything I have experienced about this disease. I want it to be a place for others who may be in a similar position and feel the same way to come together and learn and share our experiences.
How many other women are suffering?
How can we get Endometriosis taken more seriously by the medical profession?
What can we do to understand this condition and help others?
The current statistics of diagnosis are far too long, on average it takes 7.5 years from onset of symptoms to get a diagnosis* and vague, 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK suffer from endometriosis* although with my experience and conversations I have had with other Endometriosis sufferers I question this statistic. The more I speak to other women the more this chronic and debilitating condition becomes visible. I hope this page can provide a community where we can support each other and I would love to hear from you.
