“When it comes to surgery, our aim is to destroy or remove any endometriosis we can see - improve pain and restore quality of life” - Dr Kirsty Munro

“We forget just how important the menstrual experience is. You may have pain, you may have infertility but you may also have heavy bleeding. Even in the endometriosis community, that gets forgotten about” - Dr Hilary Critchley

“The big problem is that we don’t have a test to diagnose endometriosis. We are still reliant on surgery. What we need is a bio marker for endometriosis. A simple test” - Dr Andrew Horne

“All we can do with IVF is stimulate those follicles that are ready to be stimulated. We can’t give you new ones. Having a normal AMH is reassuring and there might be other things we can do. Thats when you’d come to see someone like me” - Dr Maya Chetty

“When you’ve got to sleep on three towels, or you’ve got to be the last person to get up off their chair - you start to realise how debilitating heavy bleeding can be” - Dr Hilary Critchley

Endo Silence Scotland This was one of the moments today that really hit me hard and made me quite emotional. Hearing those words from someone as esteemed as Dr Critchley after so many years of embarrassment, confusion and doctors sweeping it under the rug.

Looking to host an #endofriendly Y O G A session in Glasgow next month. The session would focus on managing pelvic pain and gentle exercise to build core strength. 🧘‍♀️ Who’s up for it? 🤔

After being diagnosed with stage 4 #Endometriosis, Katy set up Endo Silence Scotland to raise awareness of this condition and to give a voice to #EndoWarriors. We chat to Katy about Endometriosis myths and what keeps her motivated on tough days: bit.ly/2DYodmY

Goes without saying, but here’s what we stand for at #endosilenceScotland 👋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 NO tolerance for the intolerant here! 🌈 all are welcome and every experience of pelvic pain, endo and gynae issues is valid. 👍

Great news for those in Scotland today! The Scot Gov Health Minister for Public Health has confirmed that the @NICEcomms #endometriosis guidelines are applicable in Scotland. We now look forward to working with the Government to ensure this commitment becomes a reality.

This is the beginning of incredible change. No longer will young people suffer in silence because they believe their pain is normal or because they're too ashamed to speak up. This is what's possible when we raise our voices. 🎗 Pls RT #menstrualwellbeing2020
