Bindi Irwin, conservationist and daughter of the late Steve Irwin, the renowned “Crocodile Hunter”, took to Twitter on International Women’s Day to share her 10-year struggle with endometriosis, a chronic disease that can cause debilitating pain and infertility.

In a Twitter post captioned “sharing my journey”, Ms Irwin, 24, said she had spent years trying to seek an accurate diagnosis for her pain, undergoing several health checks and meeting with doctors. She said she looked for answers that did not arrive for more than a decade.
