Amy Schumer has been candid about the symptoms and procedures she's undergone to treat endometriosis — and she's hoping her story helps others struggling with pain to find their voices.
The comedian opened up about the"lonely disease" and the stigma associated with periods in an intimate interview with CBS News medical contributor Dr. David Agus for the new Paramount+ original docuseriesThe 30-minute episode will be available to stream starting Tuesday, Dec. 13.
Endometriosis is a disorder that occurs when the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus in places like the fallopian tubes, ovaries or other tissue around the pelvic area, which can cause painful cramping during your period, Dr. Agus explained in the episode.
"You know, for months, I had been complaining of pain…it was just this pain you can't see. And, you know, there is the inclination to always think a woman is just being dramatic," Schumer said in the interview.
