Samantha Campbell has shared her story to mark Endometriosis Awareness Month this March
A year ago, Co Down woman Samantha Campbell was recovering from the most major surgery any woman can go through, a hysterectomy after being left in excruciating pain for years due to endometriosis.
The main symptoms are pelvic pain, period pain that stops you doing normal activities, pain during or after sex, feeling sick, constipation, diarrhoea, or blood in your pee during your period, and difficulty getting pregnant.Samantha, 32, from Kilkeel was diagnosed with the condition when she was only 24 after suffering in pain for a number of years. She had two surgeries to treat the condition before she underwent a hysterectomy in June 2021 at the age of 30 when she had stage 4 endometriosis.
She told Belfast Live: "Every year more and more women are diagnosed with this condition after years of being ignored and waiting for surgery which is just not good enough. She is one of 12 brave women who recently penned their journeys with endometriosis in a newly published book, Hear us Roar, in a bid to help raise awareness and support other women.
"Other women have said that reading about our journeys has really educated them about endometriosis and they could relate to some of the struggles we went through."

Pharmaceutical care services and healthcare promotion services were the noticeable performed extended services. There were positive perceptions and attitudes toward extended and drive-thru pharmacy services among pharmacists and the public.
