I suffered from endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroids throughout my teens, 20's and 30's. It was so painful and exhausting. It was also emotionally hurtful because my spouse did not understand in the least and had no empathy. I never felt less than a woman. He felt I was using the disease as an excuse to not have sex with him. It was the beginning of the end of our marriage. We need more informative videos and programs as this that could be a springboard for greater understanding between men and women.
