Provide additional funding to improve diagnosis of Endometriosis

Closed 1,503 signatures

What the petition asks

On average it takes seven years for diagnosis for Endometriosis which is too long, People are suffering in pain and it's affecting their daily lives. The longer the diagnosis takes the more damage it can do to their body. I would like the Government to provide funding to support earlier diagnosis.
Endometriosis is affecting more women every singe day including their health and also their fertility.

I have been a sufferer for eight years but I only got diagnosis six years ago. I have been battling with this condition on a daily basis.

Being a women myself I want to help as many women out there who are suffering with endometriosis get diagnosed earlier so it doesn’t do more damage then it’s already doing.

Getting a earlier diagnosis would help thousands of women out there.
