"   We all know it takes a bit of pain to look good (plucking hurts!), but some new research takes the notion a bit too far. Scientists now say that women suffering from a painful gynecological condition are more attractive than women who don&amp;#039;t have it. Say what? In the study, four doctors talked to 300 women\u2014100 with severe endometriosis, 100 with mild, and 100 without the illness\u2014and then rated their attractiveness on a five-point scale.  The results? Thirty-one percent of the women with severe symptoms were rated as attractive, while the other two categories rated at only eight and nine percent attractive. In addition, the severe category also had lower percentages of body fat and larger breasts. Scientists think that the link between endometriosis and attractiveness might have something to do with high levels of estrogen. So, does this mean that lowering the amount of estrogen would alleviate the painful condition? Scientists don&amp;#039;t know, but it&amp;#039;s a risk we&amp;#039;re sure many women with endometriosis would be willing to take. Get more from Meagan on Twitter.
