March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and with research from Endometriosis UK showing that 62% of women would put off going to the doctor if they were having symptoms of endometriosis, it’s essential that we continue to raise awareness and understanding of this condition. (1/2)


Did you catch Dr Larisa Corda on This Morning to talk about #endometriosis? Dr Larisa will be joining the APPG this afternoon to talk about the impact of the pandemic on endometriosis patients' mental health. Watch the interview here: itv.com/thismorning/ar…

Sir David Amess MP Sir David Amess MP says it is absolutely unacceptable that diagnosis for #endometriosis takes on average 8 years, and the APPG is committed to turning this around.

Sir David Amess MP is today calling on the Government to make a commitment to reduce diagnosis time for #endometriosis with a target of an average of 4 years or less by 2025, and a year or less by 2030. Sir David Amess MP

Emma Cox, CEO of Endometriosis UK discusses that 80% of 16-24 would put off going to the GP about #endometriosis. That’s why raising awareness around this topic is so important to ensure symptoms aren’t minimised.


Next up Neelam Heera - Shergill 💍💪🏽🪄 from Cysters 🎗 🍉 ✊🏿, who is discussing the urgent need for research into additional barriers faced by those from under represented groups.

#Endometriosis can have just as much of an impact on mental health as it does on physical health. To mark #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth, today I asked for a debate on this subject. APPG on Endometriosis Endometriosis UK

Great coverage on BBC news of the clinical trial being led by Andrew Horne at EXPPECT Edinburgh


1 in10 women live with endometriosis- a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere inside the body. It can be incredibly painful & take years to diagnose. Treatment hasn't improved in 10yrs. Until now? #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth Endometriosis UK

One of the calls in our APPG report on #endometriosis was to call for more research into #endometriosis. Great to see this discussed on BBC News (UK)

We urge everyone with #endometriosis to complete this survey and have your say. We will be working with the Department of Health and Social Care to ensure endometriosis plays a key part in the outcomes of the Inquiry
