Almost a decade. It is the temporal abyss that, on average, a woman in Catalonia must cross before discovering that the pain she suffers is not "what is expected", but a disease that has a name: endometriosis. Currently, one in ten Catalan women live with this chronic and inflammatory pathology that hijacks their physical and emotional health in the face of the historical normalization of female pain. For Dr. Francisco Carmona, head of gynecology at the Hospital Clínic and an international reference in the field, the label "silent disease" is a trap. In reality, it has been a pathology silenced by a gender bias in scientific research. His statement could not be more graphic: "If men had testicular pain five days a month, the world would have stopped years ago".
