French supermarket giant Carrefour said on Wednesday it would allow female employees to take days off if they suffer from endometriosis, a medical condition that has no cure, can cause excessive period cramps and lead to infertility. One in ten women worldwide suffer from endometriosis, a chronic disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb. For more on the concerted efforts to diagnose the disease and raise awareness, FRANCE 24 is joined by Dr. Horace Roman, Gynecological Surgeon specializing in Endometriosis and Founding Member of The IFEM Endometriosis Institute in Bordeaux. He is also Professor of Endometriosis Surgery at the University of Aarhus in Denmark.
