Harriet Amos, a musician from Worcestershire, has lived with endometriosis for 23 years and was diagnosed in 2016. She underwent five operations, including an ovary removal. To support the Worcestershire Acute Hospitals Charity, she plans to host a concert during Endometriosis Action Month. Endometriosis affects one in 10 women and is a common gynaecological condition. Amos aims to raise awareness and provide comfort to patients experiencing pelvic pain, reflecting on her own experiences with the condition and the care she received from the hospital's team.
