Increase funding for Endometriosis research

Additional Information

Funding for research into endometriosis is needed to have a less invasive test and find a cure.

1 in 10 women suffer with endometriosis; an estimated 2 million women in the UK.

Funding and understanding of endometriosis is minimal. The cause is not known, diagnosis is invasion surgery, there is no cure and it takes on average 7.5 years to be diagnosed.

Endometriosis costs the UK billions, through multiple surgeries, drug costs, doctor appointments, disability costs and time having to be taken off work.

Funding for research into endometriosis is needed to have a less invasive test and find a cure.
