While many have never heard of endometriosis, it is believed one-in-10 women of reproductive age in the UK are affected. Endometriosis is the name given to the condition where cells similar to those in the uterine lining are found elsewhere in the body, and can cause substantial damage to the reproductive system and other organs. Taking figures from gov.uk, about 11,697,000 women in Britain were of reproductive age in 2013 – meaning approximately 1,169,700 people across the nation were experiencing the crippling pain and side effects of endometriosis. As the overall UK population has increased from about 64 million in 2013 to a predicted 67 million in 2021, this number will have almost certainly increased.
