Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women – yet it still takes an average of eight years to be diagnosed. Why are so many living with debilitating pain for so long?

In this episode of Well Enough, which marks both endometriosis awareness month and International Women’s Day (Sunday 8 March), GP, TV doctor and endometriosis advocate Dr Raj Arora unpacks the reality of living with a chronic condition that is too often dismissed as “just a bad period”, the historical exclusion of women from medical research, and how to identify early that something might be wrong.
