Carly Bailey – #Endometriosis

1 in 10 Irish women are affected by endometriosis in Ireland yet it can take anywhere up to 10 years to get a diagnosis. This leaves the woman suffering in pain for years on end and oftentimes, doctors and GPs may not even believe that the pain is as bad as it is. Social Democrats Councillor Carly Bailey is just one of these women. She joins Rachel on the podcast to discuss why there's a need for a specialised centre for endometriosis in Ireland, the amount of pain and procedure she had to go through to get a diagnosis and why there is a big problem in Ireland with reproductive and gynaecological care.
