Many routine procedures were designed for male anatomy & are uncomfortable or take longer in women. Colonoscopy. Urinary cauterization. Spinal procedures. Airway management. Venous cannulation. Difficulty is often blamed on anxiety, tension, low pain tolerance. theconversation.com/routine-medi...
Routine medical procedures can feel harder for women – here’s why
When medical procedures are designed around male anatomy, women often pay the price – in pain, difficulty and dismissal.

When did you last have to plan months ahead for work? ☝️

More of our ambassadors, Ffion, Lynsey and Rebecca, have shared their workspace stories. Starting a conversation can make a difference. It's time to #TALKEndo.
A photo of Ffion in rugby uniform TEXT: "Considering its my job to excessively exercise everyday, I become so anxious as I have to mentally prepare myself in case I flare. Also, majority of our staff are men, who do not have an understanding of female health, let alone endometriosis, so it is difficult to manage it during training and manage people's perceptions. " A photo of Lyndsey TEXT: "I’ve missed days of school and university due to pain for as long as I can remember. It got to the point I was probably unemployable and possibly wouldn’t be able to hold down a job. I was unreliable, I was throwing up at work, and I couldn’t concentrate. I don’t know how I’ve made it through the day sometimes." Endometriosis can end careers. A photo of Rebecca TEXT: "It has directly caused me to change careers, as I am unable to work long hours on my feet as a chef anymore. Symptoms and flare-ups are so unpredictable. You have to think 3 steps ahead, like not taking a role that will involve extensive travel, even if you feel well when you apply, because in 6 months you might not be able to walk or travel."
