Creating awareness of endometriosis to help women go about it

One in every 10 women have endometriosis. This is according to the world health organisation, and as the endometriosis month comes to a close, there is a need to highlight and create awareness of endometriosis to help one or more women who may need information on how to go about endometriosis. We spoke to Dr. Sarita Sukija, a gynecologist at the Myra IVF centre here in Nairobi. She tells us that just as a woman has their period, the same happens for a woman with endometriosis which is an inflammatory condition where the tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus and bleeds when a woman is having her period.
