Background
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women in the UK, living with chronic pain, fatigue and fertility problems. Yet diagnosis takes nearly nine years, with many dismissed or left untreated. It disrupts education, work, and mental health, and access to care depends on postcode. Faster diagnosis, equitable access to specialist services, better training for healthcare professionals and improved long-term support would reduce NHS pressures and restore dignity and opportunity for those affected.
