Endometriosis: ‘It kind of hit me that I'm 35 and I've had a hysterectomy’

Ahead of a film screening and panel discussion they are organising, two Irish women who advocate for those suffering from endometriosis share their own experiences

Lisa Claire Walsh and Robyn Murray Boylan are co-directors of Her Voice Project, an online community which offers support and connection for endometriosis sufferers. 

On the night of a work event, endometriosis sufferer Lisa-Claire Walsh was hospitalised because of debilitating pain. Once she told her manager, who had never heard of the condition, she said she was met with compassion and flexibility.

Being able to work remotely has been a “massive relief” for Ms Walsh, 28, who is often in excruciating pain.
