  It's so sad that most of us are messed around by medical professionals and not taken seriously. I thank God that as soon as i mentioned something to my gp, she was on it immediately and referred me for an ultrasound. I've had a positive experience with the NHS so far... currently waiting for my laparoscopy.

  In fact thumbs up and God bless all the women who voiced this out. Thankfully in our time when we mention these symptoms at GP they now take us serious. You women have really powered up in just a few years ❤

  Honestly it’s so refreshing to hear that I’m not alone. I had almost the exact same experience as you. For years I was so lost, so broken - mentally and physically that I genuinely didn’t know what to do or where to go anymore. I pray that if I have a daughter, she doesn’t end up with these issues as they are genetic, but I promised  myself that if she ends with PCOS or Endo, I will give her the best possible care so that she never has to suffer like we did!

  As a women who doesn't experience healths problems i cant imagine how much pain they feel 💔. Its important for young women to learn about disease that might change their life and to help those who do have problems with fertility ect. Im here and think of this as a virtual hug

  Been following your Tik toks for months now and came across your YouTube today to see this vid, I also have Endo and PSOC. Listening to this video sounds exactly like what I tell all of my friends and family I feel, and I’v also been fobbed off every by doctors and been put on every form of contraception you could name! Can totally understand the dull pain and shooting pains in the lower stomach!! Never seen anyone else say they get this when I’ve watched vids. Sorry you’re suffering with this too ❤️

  I feel your wait is actually quite lucky a lot of girls including me waited years on end, I went to my gp at 16 and only now at 22 had surgery, but I have no answers there’s no signs of endo but I have all the symptoms etc. but I’m so pleased you were finally listened to and got the help you needed. The wait through the nhs is years on end even worse since covid xxx

  WOW!! this video has come just at the right time. im currently day 4 post op, after 5/6 years of suffering with gyn problems, and only a year and a half ago being offered a diagnostic laparoscopy by the hospital &apos;just in case&apos; i had endometriosis. i was told i have imbalanced hormones and that i basically had to deal with it. I have been on nearly every oral contraceptive pill going , and i just hate being on it. None really helped any of my symptoms. <br>The surgeon found endometriosis on Friday and burnt away what she could, but had to leave what was too close to my uterus.<br>NO ONE warned me what recovery would be like, especially the constipation...lol. The pre assessment nurse told me 4 days and i would be fine... that is not the case. Although i can now get up off the sofa and out of bed by myself, i still feel like there is a weight attached to my lower stomach pulling constantly. Bloat is still here, and walking funny also. Sickness and tiredness is something I&apos;m still feeling, and I&apos;m yet to work out how I&apos;m going to wash my hair because i currently have no walk in shower. <br><br>Holly, our symptoms are so similar, and not the typical symptoms that are associated with endo. Like you said, PUSH until you feel you are being treated with the right care. We know when our bodies aren&apos;t right, and i have been suffering for years because i didn&apos;t push, and i believe my problems just got worse and worse. Thank you for this video, it made me tear up at just the relief that I&apos;m not alone, and the only one going through these problems xxx much love
