Why some women are being driven out of the workplace by an illness

Core point

Carla Cressy, diagnosed with endometriosis at 25, retrained as a beauty therapist due to her health issues. One in six women with endometriosis are estimated to leave the workplace because of the condition. Carla's untreated endometriosis led to severe complications, including the need for a total hysterectomy. She has since formed a charity to support others affected by the condition.
