Teenager Shares Experience After Delayed Endometriosis Diagnosis

A 14-year-old girl from Yorkshire underwent surgery in June 2026 to remove endometriosis after months of being dismissed by doctors due to her age.

The patient experienced severe stabbing pain starting at age 13, which was initially misdiagnosed despite her family's history with the condition.

Following a successful laparoscopy that found tissue on her uterus and ligaments, she is now using hormonal treatment to manage the risk of recurrence.
