Recognise endometriosis as a disabilty

Petition Details

Endometriosis is a painful condition it develops when tissue resembling the endometrium starts growing outside the womb. The most common symptoms are period pains, tummy pain, painful sexual intercourse and infertility. It most commonly involves your ovaries, bowel or the tissue lining your pelvis

Additional Information

Endometriosis is a poorly understood disease without known cure. Endometriosis involves the female reproductive system but may also spread to distant organs. This is agony every month and causes time off work that can't be justified to an employer. I have provided references to information regarding endometriosis: http://endometriosisfoundation.org/
