Amber Williams Gets Endometriosis Diagnosis After 15 Years and 2 Healthy Organ Removals

Summary
A July 2026 laparoscopy finally confirmed extensive endometriosis and adenomyosis in Amber Williams, 35, after years of severe pain that began when she was 11.
Williams said the breakthrough came only after she raised endometriosis herself in 2025, prompting a fertility specialist to refer her for further testing after four years of trying to get pregnant.
Doctors had removed her appendix in 2012 and her gallbladder four years later during earlier misdiagnoses, later finding neither organ had been significantly wrong.
The 15-year delay left Williams unable to work because of pain, and she is now urging other women to trust their instincts when symptoms are repeatedly dismissed.
