1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK suffer from endometriosis.
Endometriosis is the second most common gynaecological condition in the UK.
Endometriosis affects 1.5 million women, a similar number of women affected by diabetes.
On average it takes 7.5 years from onset of symptoms to get a diagnosis.
Endometriosis costs the UK economy £8.2bn a year in treatment, loss of work and healthcare costs.
