1 in 10 women in the UK have endometriosis. So why does it take on average, 8 years to be diagnosed?

Raising Awareness of Endometriosis

March marks Endometriosis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness of a condition that affects millions of women worldwide. At The Hamptons Hospital, we are proud to support this important conversation while continuing to expand the specialist care available for women in Peterborough and the surrounding region.

What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the womb, often causing significant pain, fatigue and fertility challenges. Despite how common it is, many women face long delays before receiving a diagnosis. Increasing awareness and improving access to specialist care is a crucial step toward changing that.
