Endometriosis is a condition experienced by one in ten women of childbearing age around the world.
It’s caused by tissue similar to the womb lining growing in other parts of the body, where it can lead to bleeding and severe pain.
But the symptoms – which can be debilitating - are often dismissed as period pain. It can be difficult to diagnose and campaigners say many doctors still aren’t aware of the condition.
One woman, Grace Nagawa, who struggled with the illness for years, started a support group – the Endometriosis Foundation of Uganda – otherwise known as the ‘Endo Warriors’ – to raise awareness.
She shares her story with #AfricaDaily
