Manage episode 364872406 series 3443429
Affecting nearly 10% of women and girls who are of menstrual age are, endometriosis is a chronic disease that involves the abnormal growth of cells similar to those found in the uterus’ lining in other areas of the pelvis like the bowel, bladder and ovaries – but it can also spread all throughout the body – in fact, it’s been found in almost every single organ!
Though the cause of the condition hasn’t been pinned down yet, there are a number of contributing factors associated with endometriosis, including having a family history of the disease – research suggests people in this category have a risk 10 times higher than the rest of the population.
In our first episode of season 2, our new hosts Clara & Grace, sit down with Radio Host and Ambassador of Endometriosis Australia, Ellie Angel-Mobbs. Ellie shares her incredible journey with this complex condition, along with her challenges around IVF, and how Endometriosis Australia are working to support women facing a future with endo.
