Endometriosis Awareness Week.
At least 1.5 million women in the UK are affected by endometriosis, The Endometriosis Society claimed last week. The charity, bunching International Endometriosis Awareness Week, said the lives of women affected were being mined by the failure to diagnose the condition and by unnecessary hysterectomies carried out in attempted 'cures'. Pictured is an ovarian cyst caused by the condition.
