In the video explaining her condition she told fans of the ‘excruciating’ pain she suffers whilst on her period and during sex. The reality star pointed out that the condition it is often debilitating. ‘It got so bad, I would be rolling in bed, and I would actually be fearful for my life, thinking for my body to be in this much agonising pain, what is it going through?" she recalled. ‘I genuinely used to be in that much pain that I was fearful I wouldn’t wake up in the morning.
Endometriosis is also associated with an increased risk of difficulty becoming pregnant, or infertility. At the end of the clip, Molly-Mae looked towards the future and how the condition might affect her fertility.
