Endometriosis: Creating Awareness, with Donna Ciccia  

More than 830,000 (more than 11%) of Australian women suffer from endometriosis at some point in their life, with the disease often starting in teenagers. Symptoms are variable and this may contribute to the 6.5 year delay in diagnosis.   

Donna Ciccia, herself an 'endo warrior', has made it her mission in life to raise awareness of this common, but often misunderstood, disease.  

Endometriosis Australia, co-founded by Donna, is a nationally accredited charity that endeavours to increase recognition of endometriosis, provide endometriosis education programs, and provide funding for endometriosis research.  

Listen in as Jo chats with Donna about her own story, what it's like to live with endo, the symptoms, red flags and possible treatments, and how to support friends and family living with this inflammatory disease.
