Statistically, 1 in 10 women have it - but how many struggle through years of pain before arriving to that diagnosis? Yale Medicine claims that, on average, there is a four-to-11-year delay between the onset of symptoms and diagnosis (and treatment). SO LETS TALK ABOUT IT. Maybe your IBS is actually...Endometriosis? Of course, speak to your health care provider and advocate for yourself - no one else will do a better job than YOU.
