Florence Pugh Opens Up About Endometriosis and Fertility Challenges

The actress revealed her diagnosis of endometriosis and PCOS, highlighting ongoing issues in women’s health care and the importance of self-advocacy.

Florence Pugh shared her experiences with endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) during a recent appearance on the She MD podcast.
She revealed that she was advised to freeze her eggs at age 27 due to concerns about her fertility, despite her family history of late pregnancies.
Pugh's diagnosis was initially dismissed by a UK gynecologist, reflecting broader issues of medical professionals not taking women's health concerns seriously.
The actress's story has sparked discussions about the challenges women face in receiving timely and accurate diagnoses for reproductive health conditions.
Endometriosis affects approximately one in ten women, yet many struggle for years to obtain proper diagnosis and treatment, often facing significant physical and financial burdens.
