#Endometriosis is a subject I am passionate about, I have lived with it for 33 years. I am still seeing the same failures as when I fought for my own diagnosis.

It is time to change this, I have seen too many people hurt, damaged, lose their fertility, their organs, their quality of life. We need to reduce the diagnostic delay. Disruptive research and technology like @CailinAI play a role to lead people to effective surgery earlier.
Appropriate education of both the public (through school level programmes) and healthcare professionals (all HCPs) is required. A massive campaign worldwide.
Access to timely and effective surgery - where all disease is excised - is essential. This can help to restore quality of life, improve fertility and restore function and form. Yet, in Ireland (like almost everywhere) this is scarce. #endometriosis
Does anyone even care?
1 in 10 Women/AFAB.
155,000 estimated in Ireland
9 year average delay to diagnosis
Longer delay if you present <25 yrs old or with pain as the primary symptom (over fertility)
176 Million Worldwide
