A young Scots woman has told how she was left bed-bound with endometriosis for two years.
Suzanna, from Edinburgh, appeared on a new Channel 4 TV show to discuss her experience with taking hormonal contraception.
Host Davina McCall met with Edinburgh-based campaign group, Contraception Education Reform Team (CERT) in the Leith Theatre. In the programme, Davina told how Suzanna, 23, was given hormonal contraception as a teenager to manage heavy periods and severe period pain, reports Edinburgh Live.
Suzanna said after years of trying different methods, she discovered her symptoms were actually caused by endometriosis and believed the hormonal contraception she was using was 'masking' some of her symptoms.
Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
Suzanna said: "I was really pushing, I knew something was wrong for years and years. They kept telling me I was too young to have this but I knew something was wrong.
"Basically, I was bedridden for two years whilst I was waiting to have my operation and they took away some of the endometriosis but now it's quite likely I'm infertile."
She said it was tough to get that news and is now urging other women to get a second opinion if they feel like something is not right.
She said: 'I think ultimately, you know your body better than anyone. It's okay to be pushy, it's okay to see a second opinion, it's okay to take up the doctor's time.
Davina replied: "These are all things we hate doing because we've been trained to hate doing them. This is the stereotype - be quiet, don't be loud, don't be awkward."
Another member of the group interjected: "And that's why we're so dismissive because they're like, oh they're complaining again -

On their latest shows, Brett Goldstein and Theo James have created characters who unpeel deeper truths beyond their hunky appearances. Goldstein, who’s won two Emmys for portraying soccer player and coach Roy Kent on “Ted Lasso,” returned for the Apple TV+ comedy’s third season. (He’s also a co-creator and writer on “Shrinking,” about a therapist played by Jason Segel.) James joined the second season of HBO’s “The White Lotus,” set in Italy and from creator Mike White, as a chiseled, privileged vacationer. THEO JAMES: How did you end up writing for “Ted Lasso”?
