The condition affects around one in 10 women and symptoms can vary from person to person.
Women in the UK are waiting almost nine years for an endometriosis diagnosis, according to research that found many women are 'dismissed, ignored and belittled'. The study by the charity Endometriosis UK found waiting times for the condition to be formally identified have significantly deteriorated since the pandemic, increasing to an average of eight years and 10 months - up 10 months since 2020.
'Day to day, without a diagnosis, some people have real issues both physical and mental health, because they'll be in severe pain,' Ms Cox said. If left undiagnosed and untreated, endometriosis can lead to worsening physical symptoms and even permanent organ damage.
