It can be nerve-racking trying to decide whether you should tell people at work about your endo. You might be worried about being judged or feel your career trajectory could be affected. This article talks about why it may be necessary to tell your employer, what your rights are, and how to go about it.

Being diagnosed with endo or experiencing severe pelvic pain and heavy periods is difficult for anyone, but can be even harder when you are a school student. Puberty and the teenage years can be pretty overwhelming without adding a chronic illness to the mix. You may feel embarrassed talking about your periods to adults at school.  

Starting this conversation can be a great way to help you manage your endometriosis, access support, and help your partner understand what endometriosis is and how it affects you both. 

When big changes happen in our lives, it’s normal to want to talk to our friends about them. But opening up about an endo diagnosis or your painful or heavy periods can be daunting, especially if you’re not used to talking about your health or you’re worried about how your friends will respond.
