ENDOMETRIOSIS

Eight Years to Diagnosis. A Lifetime of Being Dismissed.

Endometriosis — the abnormal growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus — affects 1.5 million UK women and takes an average 8 years to diagnose, during which women are routinely told their pain is normal. The biological drivers extend far beyond reproductive anatomy: immune dysregulation allowing ectopic tissue to survive, oestrogen dominance feeding lesion growth, dioxin and environmental toxin exposure, gut microbiome disruption creating the estrobolome imbalance that recycles oestrogen, and neuroinflammation explaining the chronic pain that persists even after surgical removal. This is a systemic immune-inflammatory condition that requires a systemic biological response.
