“Absolute agony.” “Pain and bloating.” “No answers.” These are just some of the ways in which Irish women have described living with endometriosis, a condition that often goes undiagnosed for countless women.

Until now, former Love Island star Molly Mae Hague was one of them. In a Youtube video posted last week, the 22-year-old revealed that she was preparing to undergo surgery for endometriosis after doctors had initially told her she didn’t have the condition.
