Endometriosis affects 10% of women, but many live with painful symptoms of the condition for years without a diagnosis. A lack of non-invasive screening tools and normalisation of period pain both play a role in this.
Women with endometriosis pay an average of $1,200 in out-of-pocket health costs a year. When you add lost wages and productivity, the costs add up to $30,000 per sufferer every year.
Pregnancy is often mentioned as a treatment or a ‘cure’ for endometriosis. Pregnancy may suppress the symptoms of endometriosis, but it is not a cure.
