A 23-year-old Australian woman’s chronic endometriosis pain persists due to healthcare delays, reflecting widespread medical dismissal of women’s pain.
Ally Jose, a 23-year-old from Ballarat, Australia, endures severe chronic pain from endometriosis, diagnosed in 2019 after years of being dismissed as having “bad periods.” Despite two surgeries and ongoing treatments, her pain persists, and her next procedure remains delayed as non-urgent in the public health system.
Her experience reflects findings from Victoria’s Bridging the Gender Pain Gap report, which found 71% of women faced medical dismissal, with 54% in daily pain and 31% in constant pain due to menstrual and hormonal conditions.
The report, based on over 13,000 submissions, highlights systemic bias in treating women’s pain and calls for widespread reforms, especially in rural areas.
