(Ivanhoe Newswire) — Endometriosis is a painful and often debilitating disease that affects an estimated 6.5 million women in the U.S. It occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, causing pain, inflammation, and sometimes infertility. Despite the staggering numbers, doctors and patients say research has been chronically underfunded. NIH has spent less than one-tenth of 1% of its budget over the past decade to study the disease. Now, one researcher is using her own struggle to bring hope to millions.
