Endometriosis UK -
This study (based on a survey of 4,371 people who have received a diagnosis of endometriosis) shows that diagnosis times in the UK have significantly worsened over the last three years, increasing to an average of eight years and ten months, an increase of ten months since 2020. This lengthy wait means a delay in accessing treatment, during which the disease may progress, leading to worsening physical symptoms and a risk of permanent organ damage. The report contains several recommendations for improving diagnosis times.
