Moreover, in their focus on individual ‘victims’ of endometriosis, mainstream accounts continued to obscure the social and political dimensions of the disease. Like women's magazines, general and special interest magazines and newspapers framed endometriosis as a personal trouble demanding individual attention.

(Davies, 2024)\nEndometriosis and its impacts\nDr Yazdani said it was common for women with endometriosis to not want children, as they were worried about experiencing pain again when they went off birth control.\nBut he said women could work with medical professionals and clinics to figure out a pain management plan while trying to conceive.\n‘When the time comes for [a woman with endometriosis] to conceive, it's not OK for [her] to just be left like any other woman who hasn't been diagnosed with endometriosis’, he said.\n‘Women need to have individualised endometriosis plans … for both the pain and for fertility’.
