A charity says 10 per cent are living with it
According to the latest figures from Office for National Statistics , 23,920 women in York shire and the Humber were diagnosed with endometriosis. between March 2011 and December 2021. This equates to 976 diagnoses per 100,000 women in the area.
The NHS diagnosed 262,065 in England with endometriosis from 2011 to 2021, and ONS estimates two per cent of women of reproductive age suffer with the condition. But this figure is likely an underestimate as many women remain undiagnosed., and charities such as Endometriosis UK suggest that about 10 per cent of women are affected.
The number of woman given an endometriosis diagnosis between March 2011 and December 2021 have been listed for every local authority area in Yorkshire below. She further added that recent studies and findings on endometriosis are painting a picture of the condition "that will be impossible to ignore", and that the charity is gearing up to call for "investment in early diagnosis; access to treatment; and other support for those with endometriosis".
