Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of having an awareness raising campaign on endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition, estimated to affect one in 10 women of reproductive age. Endometriosis can significantly impact women and girls’ physical and mental health, and anyone with symptoms of endometriosis should contact their general practice. To raise awareness of endometriosis, the Department has worked with NHS England to improve information on the National Health Service website and YouTube channel. Information on endometriosis symptoms and treatments can be found on the NHS.UK website, and by viewing the video series on endometriosis on the NHS YouTube channel, with further information on both available, respectively, at the following two links:

We will continue to keep opportunities for further awareness raising about endometriosis under review.
