Endometriosis: Dr Semiya Shares the Signs and Symptoms to Look Out for | This Morning

Dr Semiya joins us on the sofa to discuss how more than 1.5 million women live with this condition, however shockingly little is known about it.

I have had endometriosis for years and it’s agonising! This needs to be spoken about more! ❤

[@littlemissbossy1000]

why has it taken someone royal to come out for programs like this to decide to share awareness when it isn't a new thing that's just started affecting women I think awareness should have been shared way before now

[@janemasini356]

I've been suffering for years with debilitating symptoms fir year painful heavy periods, uti , ect
I was diagnosed when I was in my 40,s, nos I'm 54 still in perimenopause, still suffer badly!❤

She gave the wrong definition of the condition, it’s not the endometrial tissue it’s similar but not the same and doesn’t correspond to periods! I have endometriosis myself and it can cause painful periods but the pain is constant, throughout the body everyday as it’s not a reproductive illness!

Endometriosis nearly took my kidney.... take serrapeptase and do water fasting/autophagy... this rid my endo.

[@naomiknapper8468]

I think it was there before and during pregnancy but it escalated after children with writhing pain during the period which I withstood a couple of periods like that before having laparoscopy surgery which included detaching my bowl from all of it been stuck together.
Then with the use of a Mirena inplanted to deter the incorrect bleeding that was causing the issues. 55 years old now and hoping the menapause is nearly done to avoid any more endo issues.

Doctors won’t do it claiming you’ll change your mind

Why is Rylan nice on this show to people..but on Celebrity Gogglebox with his mother he is condescending and belittles his mother.? I watch it here in Australia and I think he is disrespectful but that is not to say he doesn’t love her…but he just shows a difference side of him that’s not pleasant 🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@fbaallied]

Well he's called for more stop and search. So I take it he'll be in favour of his mommy getting stopped and searched.

[@elleeme9451]

I thought that he had a great relationship with his Mom, from my viewpoint. It's called banter. They seem very close to me.

[@CatsandJP]

@@elleeme9451Never said they are not close..banter can also be sarcastic and snide too.
