Background
Around 1 in 10 women have endometriosis. Average diagnosis is 7-8 years that’s before treatment to relieve symptoms. There is no cure only management. It can affect fertility. It’s an invasive condition that returns. It can affect multiple organs including the bladder, bowel and even the lungs. Surgery waitlists are between 12-24 months once you get on them which takes years in itself. The pain doesn’t wait, this fast spreading condition just pushes on.
