  • When Period Pain Becomes a Medical Crisis: Favour’s Endometriosis Story Part 2

    For many women, severe menstrual pain is treated as something they are expected to endure. For Christopher Favour Oluchi, that pain became a medical crisis, one that eventually led to two surgeries.

    In the opening episode of the Flow With Pride Podcast, Favour speaks candidly about living with endometriosis, navigating years of debilitating pain, confronting the dismissal and stigma surrounding menstrual health, and finding the strength to transform her experience into advocacy.

    Her story raises questions that extend far beyond one individual experience: Why is severe menstrual pain so often normalised? What happens when women are not believed? And what does it mean to live in a society where conversations about menstruation remain constrained by silence and stigma?

    This is a story about periods, health, dignity, gender, stigma, and the right to have pain taken seriously.

    You are not alone. And your pain deserves to be heard.

    Do you have a story about your menstrual health journey? We want to hear from you.
