A 21-year-old living with stage three endometriosis said a support group has helped her to feel less lonely.
Mia Harrison, who lives in Bristol, has suffered with the condition since she was 12-years-old. Every month, she is left with "all encompassing" pain affecting her legs, stomach, back and head.
Over the years, Ms Harrison has undergone two surgeries and trialled different contraception methods, diets and exercise plans, but has found nothing to drastically ease her pain.
"It's not just painful periods, it's so much more than that. It controls every single aspect of my life, from my work, university, my friendships, relationships, my mental health," she said.
