[HIGHLIGHTS] Luisa, patient with endometriosis, a silenced disease: "I never want to spend two days a month in bed again due to period pain"

Endometriosis affects 10% of women of reproductive age and usually causes menstrual pain. It is also a reason for infertility.

In Spain, it affects more than two million women, of which a quarter suffer from its most serious form. One of the workhorses of this disease is the delay in diagnosis, as Luisa's case reflects. The recommended treatment includes pain relievers, hormonal medications and contraceptives and, in certain cases, surgeries to cut or remove areas of endometrial tissue.
