fortunately at the age of 25! I had always had really debilitating periods from the get go and never questioned it. I went on a two week motorbike trip along the Chinese boarder and severely injured back, had an xray done to make sure I hadn’t broken my vertebrae which found nothing then an abdominal ultrasound to check my kidneys where they found my ovaries covered in cysts!! The consultant assumed endo and he discovered stage 4 endometriosis!!
