Saw a patient in clinic - had waited >12 months Had a scan which showed an endometrioma at the time of referral. Was still told by many healthcare professionals it was all in her head. She has had to wait to see me to be told she has endometriosis and cried with relief. We need to do better! #Endometriosis – at Shoreham-by-Sea, England
What are the priorities for #endometriosis care in the UK? Number 1 is diagnosis Statistics suggest 1 in 10 women have endo - however this should say at least 1 in 10 Unfortunately diagnosis still takes on average 8 years. How we improve this? Increase awareness & education👇

Around one in ten women in the UK have endometriosis, according to @EndometriosisUK. Sky reporter @charline_bm is one of them. She spent years being told the pain she was suffering was normal 👇

This under-representation of women in research also leads to under-funding of #research in female-dominant diseases such as #endometriosis and #adenomyosis. It is a #scandal as @bmj_latest rightly points out ⬇️
"The under-representation of women in research is a status quo that is more accurately an enduring international scandal." @KamranAbbasi in this week's Editor's Choice bmj.com/content/382/bmj.p209…
