Watch: Ella Henderson opens up about endometriosis diagnosis
Pop star Ella Henderson has opened up about her struggles with endometriosis and is partnering with Endometriosis UK to support others affected.
The condition occurs when cells similar to those in the lining of the womb grow elsewhere in the body, often causing pain, inflammation, and scar tissue.
“I've really, really been struggling not only with stomach bloating and physical pain, but also with my mental health… I wasn't really believed,” she shared on Instagram.
“I know my situation isn’t unique,” she added. “Too many women unnecessarily suffer with undiagnosed endometriosis.”
She’s promoting the charity’s tool that checks symptoms in one minute and creates a personalised letter for people to take to their GP.
