Itsines said that she went through years of pain before she was able to get her endometriosis diagnosed.
"For me I didn't know if what I was feeling during my periods each month was abnormal," she wrote on Instagram. "It took me years of living with that pain before deciding it wasn't right and going to see a doctor to get the surgical treatment I needed and a confirmed diagnosis."
