Yes @tyme a very important issue.
It’s interesting the things that get publicity and funding.
For example 1 in 7 females will get breast cancer in their lifetime - huge amount of publicity, lots of money thrown at it - which has been great because survival is much higher than in the past, is talked about easily.
1 in 7 females will have endometriosis- only now getting some traction, for publicity, funding and research, not really talked about.
1 in 4 (or possibly 1 in 3) females will be sexually assaulted before age 18. Very little publicity, funding, research etc. Pretty much never talked about.
I am fortunate not to have been affected by endometriosis (but have been by other two things mentioned above).
Women’s health is not well funded, researched or talked about, despite being just over half of population, So this is a great campaign.
Can’t add any specific advice, except don’t suffer in silence.
