    Welcome to It’s Not Just A Period!

    Joining Alexandra this week is Tiffany Summerfield; endometriosis warrior, nurse and leader of the upcoming Cardiff Endometriosis UK Support Group.

    After collapsing in kitchen from a twisted ovary, she was quickly diagnosed with endometriosis and then abandoned by the system at only 19 years old.

    Tiffany has endured 4 surgeries to remove her endometriosis and claim back a semblance of a normal life but it hasn’t been without its struggles.

    She shares the debilitating symptoms, how they have derailed her career and the impacts on her future planning. We discuss the importance of informed consent and why Tiffany is petitioning the Welsh government to implement Jess’ rule.

    When Kathryn first went to the GP about her periods, an ultrasound showed polycystic ovaries.

    But she was told it wasn't Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome as she didn't meet the diagnosis threshold.

    8 years later she was dumbstruck when a different GP told her this was wrong and she'd been given the wrong information!
