In this interview, he speaks on the emergence of endometriosis and its effect on young women in their early thirties. According to him, one out of 10 women is presented with endometriosis which has affected many marriages the world over.
She looked at me and started smiling. She said: “Do you remember me?”, and I said, “I think so. And she said, “Yes, I was a patient in the Lagoon Hospital and I said, what happened to you, she said she went abroad and what was wrong with her was endometroisis, a condition resulting from the appearance of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and causing pelvic pain, especially associated with menstruation.
Some girls have been labelled lazy, and even promiscuous especially when she is having pains during her menstruation period. Some people will say she has aborted her pregnancy but the fact is that majority of them had endometroisis. So, the commonest thing that endometrosis presents is painful menstruation. And the painful menstruation comes from the fact that there is an inner covering in the ovary called the endometrium.
Unfortunately, for the fact that it is not cancer, nobody is sponsoring us. Year in, year out, we gather, invite people, and people are yet to come to terms with the issue of endometroisis. It costs us about N10 million annually and we have been doing that all the way. Endometriosis is estimated to affect between three per cent and 10 per cent of reproductive-age women. Endometriosis can only be truly diagnosed by a doctor performing a laparoscopy and taking a sample of a suspected abnormality.
vanguardngr Endometriosis is a bastard. Shoutout to women who have to live with it. More awareness pls!!!
