Endometriosis is a debilitating condition which affects 1.5 million in the UK. It's a condition in which tissue behaving like the lining of the womb is found outside it, and it can cause heavy or painful periods, acute pain, and depression and fertility problems. For those women who live with it, it ican be a struggle which affects all parts of their lives.

Kirsty MacDonald from Edinburgh has suffered severe monthly stomach cramps since her teens, but she wasn't finally diagnosed with endometriosis until she was 30. In 2015, at 36, Kirsty decided to take a radical step which came with no guarantees but which offered her a 60% chance of ending her symptoms. In January she underwent a hysterectomy, and we followed her journey.
