Annie Knight, known as Australia's most sexually active woman, faced a significant health crisis tied to her endometriosis. Despite taking contraceptive measures, she began experiencing intense pain and irregular menstrual cycles. After consulting her doctor, she underwent exploratory surgery that revealed her bowel adhered to her uterus, rather than a recurrence of endometriosis. Knight described immense pain post-surgery and shared her struggles with mood swings and lethargy, impacting both her personal and professional life as she aims to recover and return to work.
"I assumed that my endometriosis had grown back, so I went and saw my specialist and he said the same, assuming my endometriosis had grown back."
"My endometriosis hadn't grown back, instead, they found my bowel attached to my uterus - it's called adhesion."
"I was so confused and they had to give me strong painkillers."
"Having my period every eight days impacted everything. I'm lethargic, I'm grumpy, I'm moody. My hormones must be all over the place because one minute I'm crying, the next I am really happy."
