7 celebs who suffer from endometriosis

Janet opened up on her journey with endometriosis .

Sharing a past photo of herself, she captioned

“This was me in 2015. Ten years earlier, in 2005, I had just undergone a laparoscopy for deep ovarian endometriosis, also known as endometriomas or ovarian cysts.

It causes the formation of cavities within the ovary that fill with blood.

It had been years, literally since high school, of painful, prolonged periods that sometimes rendered me unable to go to class or to the office, especially during the first few days of my cycle.

Finally getting a diagnosis was such a breakthrough and I was put on birth control thereafter and have had to continue using this, except for the times we were trying for a baby.”

In conclusion, Janet said

Until today, if I don’t take my medication, I’ll struggle during my period.
