Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows outside the uterus, causing pain, fatigue, digestive issues, and fertility struggles. 💛 In Ireland, around 155,000 women are affected.
🌸 9 years—that’s the average time it takes to get an endometriosis diagnosis in Ireland. 😔 This long wait can leave women feeling unheard, exhausted, and in constant pain. Many are misdiagnosed with IBS or Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, adding to the frustration and heartache. 💔
It's time for faster diagnosis, better awareness, and real support for those suffering. 💛✨
🔬 Endometriosis & Immune Dysfunction 🌿
Endometriosis isn’t just a hormonal condition—it’s also linked to immune dysfunction and gut health. Research shows that gut bacteria and toxins like lipopolysaccharides (LPS) can trigger inflammation, worsening symptoms. Plus, endometriosis shares genetic links with autoimmune diseases, suggesting a deeper immune connection.
Supporting immune balance and gut health could be key to better management! 🦠✨
