The tissue thickens and bleeds with each month's menstrual cycle, but becomes trapped, which can lead to pain and complications including infertility.  </p><p>Endometriosis affects about 1 in 10 American women, but <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32007945/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">research has shown</a> most women wait an average of 8.6 years to be appropriately diagnosed.</p><p>The same study also showed that over three-fourths of patients say they've been misdiagnosed with another physical problem, and about half are misdiagnosed with a mental health problem.</p><h2>Surgery can help some patients with endometriosis</h2><p>There's no cure for endometriosis, but surgery can remove lesions and other treatments like oral contraceptives, diet and exercise, and painkillers can help manage symptoms, according to <a href="https://www.endofound.org/endometriosis-treatment-support" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Endometriosis Foundation of America</a>. </p><p>Irwin credited her friend, influencer and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnhgrs7OsAT/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">endometriosis advocate</a> Leslie Mosier, with setting her "on a path of regaining my life." </p><p>While it's unclear exactly how or when Irwin was diagnosed with the condition, she said she decided to undergo surgery because she couldn't continue living like she was. "Every part of my life was getting torn apart because of the pain," Irwin wrote. </p><p>Irwin said that surgeons found 37 lesions, some of which were "very deep &amp; difficult to remove," and a chocolate cyst, or a cyst filled with menstrual blood, per <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22004-ovarian-endometrioma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Cleveland Clinic.</a> </p><p>"Validation for years of pain is indescribable," Irwin wrote. </p><p>Insider has previously written about other women who have had their endometriosis pain ignored by doctors. One woman from Scotland <a href="https://www.insider.com/doctors-told-woman-with-giant-cyst-to-lose-weight-2022-4">had a 28-pound chocolate cyst removed</a> after doctors previously dismissed her symptoms as weight gain. </p><h2>Irwin hopes her story helps other women realize they deserve help</h2><p>In her Instagram post, Irwin attributed unanswered messages and cancelled plans to prioritizing her remaining energy toward her family, including her <a href="https://www.insider.com/bindi-irwin-daughter-name-tribute-to-steve-irwin-2021-3" rel="nofollow sponsored">almost-2-year-old daughter.</a> </p><p>"Please be gentle &amp; pause before asking me (or any woman) when we'll be having more children. After all that my body has gone through, I feel tremendously grateful that we have our gorgeous daughter," she said. "She feels like our family's miracle."</p><p>Irwin also said she wants her post to be validation for others that their pain is real and that they deserve help. "Keep searching for answers," she said. </p>

Bindi Irwin said doctors dismissed her pain, fatigue, and nausea for 10 years. She had endometriosis and needed 37 cysts removed.

Here's What 'Crocodile Hunter' Kid Bindi Irwin Looks Like Today

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Numerous studies have shown that women's pain is not treated as seriously as men's pain.</li><li>Sometimes, that can lead to misdiagnosis and dismissal of serious diseases.</li></ul><p>It's no secret that women's pain is taken less seriously by most medical professionals than men's pain. In the past several decades, multiple academic studies have found that not only do doctors think <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/04/210406164124.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">women experience less pain than men</a>, but women are also <a href="https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM200008243430809" target="_blank" rel="noopener">less likely to receive adequate treatment</a> for their pain — even though <a href="https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/women-and-pain-disparities-in-experience-and-treatment-2017100912562" target="_blank" rel="noopener">70% of chronic pain patients are women</a>. </p><p>And when women experience <a href="https://www.practicalpainmanagement.com/pain/other/pelvic-pain-pain-problem-no-home" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pain in the pelvic area</a>, it is not uncommon for doctors to attribute it to <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8517707/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"women's issues" of menstruation or menopause</a>, without doing a thorough work-up. It doesn't matter if a woman is famous or not — female celebrities, including TV personality and conservationist <a href="https://www.insider.com/bindi-irwin-endometriosis-diagnosis-surgery-37-cysts-dismissed-womans-issue-2023-3">Bindi Irwin</a>, have reported suffering the same issue. </p><p>Recently, Insider told the stories of three women who were dismissed by doctors and told they were experiencing "women's issues," when in reality, they were experiencing severe conditions including endometriosis that needed surgery, and cancer. </p><p>Here are their stories: </p><h2><div type="image" title="bindi irwin" height="701" width="934" msid="98970886" hostid="261" sizebytes="29334"></div></h2><h2><strong>A celebrity had her pain dismissed for 10 years — she recently had 37 lesions removed </strong></h2><p>Bindi Irwin, the 24-year-old TV personality and daughter of the late conservationist Steve Irwin, opened up <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpf6o7YJ0xa/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on Instagram</a> about her endometriosis diagnosis and treatment in an effort to help other women with the stigmatized disease, <a href="https://www.insider.com/bindi-irwin-endometriosis-diagnosis-surgery-37-cysts-dismissed-womans-issue-2023-3">Insider reported. </a></p><p>Irwin said that she struggled with "insurmountable fatigue, pain &amp; nausea" for a decade, but multiple tests, doctor's visits, and scans didn't yield satisfying answers. </p><p>"A doctor told me it was simply something you deal with as a woman &amp; I gave up entirely, trying to function through the pain," Irwin wrote in her post. </p><p>Finally, Irwin was diagnosed with endometriosis — a condition affecting one in 10 American women that occurs <a href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/endometriosis/symptoms-causes/syc-20354656" target="_blank" rel="noopener">when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus</a>. The tissue thickens and bleeds with each month's menstrual cycle, but becomes trapped, which can lead to pain and complications including infertility.  </p><p>Irwin underwent surgery, and said that surgeons found 37 lesions, some of which were "very deep &amp; difficult to remove," and a chocolate cyst, or a cyst filled with menstrual blood, per <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22004-ovarian-endometrioma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Cleveland Clinic.</a> </p><p>Irwin said she wants her post to be validation for others that their pain is real and that they deserve help.</p><h2><strong>A woman was told her heavy periods were normal, but it was an early sign of cancer</strong></h2><p>Kelly Pendry, 42, started experiencing pain and heavy bleeding in 2016, after the birth of her second child. She <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-64827161" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told the BBC</a> that her doctors attributed her symptoms to <a href="https://www.insider.com/pregnant-woman-diagnosed-clogged-milk-duct-it-was-stage-4-breast-cancer">her recent pregnancy</a> and suggested she take a contraceptive pill or get an IUD to regulate her period. Another practitioner <a href="https://www.insider.com/woman-depression-antidepressants-meningioma-tumor-headache-symptoms-seizure-blurred-vision-2022-9">prescribed her antidepressants</a> for her symptoms, <a href="https://www.insider.com/mom-of-twos-uterine-cancer-was-misdiagnosed-for-five-years-2023-3">Insider wrote</a>. </p><p>"I felt like I was a drama queen," the UK-based Pendry said, according to the BBC. "I felt like I was overthinking it, I felt like, 'is this in my head a bit, is this stupid?'"</p><p>Despite bleeding more days than not, Pendry had to wait five years to get an accurate diagnosis. Finally she was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer called <a href="https://rarediseases.org/rare-diseases/uterine-leiomyosarcoma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">uterine leiomyosarcoma</a>  — but with all the time that had passed, her cancer was determined to be terminal.</p><p>Now, a year after completing chemotherapy, Pendry told the BBC she still experiences fatigue, aches, and hot flashes as a side effect of hormone inhibitors meant to stall the cancer's growth. Her cancer has been stable for a year, but she knows it could progress at any time. Her husband, Michael, is planning an <a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-run-for-kelly?member=20183335&amp;sharetype=teams&amp;utm_campaign=p_na+share-sheet&amp;utm_medium=copy_link&amp;utm_source=customer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">180-mile charity run</a> in hopes of raising money for her to get surgery in the US.</p><h2><strong><div type="image" title="A woman sitting on a hospital bed" height="3415" width="4554" msid="98970888" hostid="261" sizebytes="270248"></div></strong></h2><h2><strong>A 12-year-old girl was told she had a hormone imbalance and an irregular period — it was ovarian cancer</strong></h2><p>After getting her first period at age 10, one girl, whose case was recently described in the <a href="https://amjcaserep.com/abstract/full/idArt/938249" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Journal of Case Reports</a>, did not have a regular cycle for the next two years. Some menstrual irregularity can be normal, <a href="https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-irregular-periods-can-be-common-at-first/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">especially in young girls</a>, but this girl started complaining of frequent abdominal pain as well, <a href="https://www.insider.com/12-year-old-had-ovarian-tumor-stomach-pain-missed-periods-2023-1">Insider wrote</a>. </p><p>At age 12, she started leaking a milky discharge from both breasts, which led her doctor to test her hormones.
