Endometriosis, Misdiagnosis & 14 Years of Pain | Zainab Kaleemullah

Why does it still take so long for women to be diagnosed with endometriosis? In this powerful conversation, Shreya sits down with Zainab Kaleemullah, co-leader of the Endometriosis UK support group for Birmingham and the Black Country. After suffering symptoms for 14 years, Zainab was finally diagnosed with severe endometriosis and adenomyosis. In this episode, she shares the physical and emotional toll of living with a condition that affects 1 in 10 women, yet is still widely misunderstood. We explore: • What endometriosis actually is • Why diagnosis often takes years • How the condition can affect organs throughout the body • Cultural stigma around periods in South Asian communities • Misdiagnosis as IBS or mental health conditions • Why advocacy, education and safe spaces matter Zainab’s story is a powerful reminder that period pain should never be dismissed. This episode shines a light on one of the most under-recognised women’s health conditions and why greater awareness could change lives.
