Relief or motherhood: Tough choice endometriosis forces on women

On June 26, 2024, Agnes Aluoch Apondo underwent surgery that ended two things: nearly four decades of excruciating pain and her dream of bearing biological children. She had to undergo a hysterectomy, the surgical removal of her uterus.

“Unfortunately, I do not have any children. When I visited gynaecologists, they focused so much on fertility rather than addressing the root cause,” says Agnes, a reverend in the Anglican Church of Kenya.
