The burden of endometriosis is enormous, with one in ten women suffering from this painful and debilitating condition. It is estimated to affect 1.5 million women in the UK and 190 million women globally. Despite its prevalence, it is currently taking an average of eight years for women to receive a formal diagnosis, with 27 being the average age at which a diagnosis is made. This can have a significant impact on the physical and mental health of those living with the condition, with 30-40% experiencing infertility.

An early, accurate diagnosis in a primary care setting can have a crucial impact on the care a patient with endometriosis receives, providing the opportunity for timely referral, advice on managing the condition and connecting the sufferer with wider support networks. This timely, practical book brings together clear and concise information for GPs and primary health care teams on how this can be achieved quickly, accurately and effectively.
