Living with endometriosis: Veronica's story

Veronica discusses the challenges of obtaining a diagnosis for endometriosis, emphasizing the limited access to specialized care in Finland. She addresses on the intense physical pain that can leave individuals incapacitated for days, as well as the mental strain of living with a chronic illness that may progressively worsen and that might make it impossible to have children. Finally, she highlights the importance of knowledge and community support in alleviating the daily struggles of living with endometriosis.
