THE ENDOMETRIOSIScrisis
MILLIONS OF WOMEN ENDURE YEARS OF PAIN BEFORE RECEIVING A DIAGNOSIS
THE CHALLENGE
A DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM THAT'S failing PATIENTS
ENDOMETRIOSIS AFFECTS APPROXIMATELY 1.5 MILLION WOMEN IN THE UK ALONE. DESPITE ITS PREVALENCE, THE CONDITION REMAINS CHRONICALLY UNDERDIAGNOSED.
THE CURRENT DIAGNOSTIC GOLD STANDARD — LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY — IS INVASIVE, EXPENSIVE, AND DIFFICULT TO ACCESS. SYMPTOMS ARE FREQUENTLY DISMISSED OR MISATTRIBUTED. THE RESULT IS YEARS OF UNNECESSARY SUFFERING, REDUCED QUALITY OF LIFE, AND IN MANY CASES, PREVENTABLE DISEASE PROGRESSION.
