Daisy Edgar-Jones Shares Her Endometriosis Journey

has opened up for the first time about her debilitating battle with endometriosis, sharing how she has learned to manage the painful condition over the years.

The actress, 27, shared that she was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 24 while taking fans through her day-to-night beauty routine in a new video with Vogue released on Tuesday. 

While carrying out her skincare routine, Daisy explained that she struggled with severe acne throughout her teenage years and also suffered from painful periods before eventually receiving a diagnosis. 

She said: 'I have endometriosis, so my hormones are kind of all over the place. I had extremely bad acne for most of my teenage years.

'When I had terrible acne, it was all I could see when I looked in the mirror. For so long, I had such painful periods and really volatile skin. 

'I was diagnosed when I was, I think I was 24. I was definitely relieved to find out why I was going through it.' 

Endometriosis is a chronic and often painful medical condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb (uterus) grows in other locations, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

It can cause inflammation, scar tissue, and severe symptoms, including debilitating period pain, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain. 

According to the NHS, the condition affects an estimated two million women in the UK. 

Over time, Daisy said she has found a skincare routine that works for her and has also noticed improvements by adjusting her diet. 

She said: 'I’ve found over the years skincare that really works for me.

'But I also find drinking lots of water and when I eat well – especially when I try and not eat as much dairy – that really helps.'

The actress also shared an encouraging message for others struggling with acne. 

She said: 'When I had terrible acne, it was all I could see when I looked in the mirror.
