I was constantly made to feel like the pain was \u2018just a period\u2019 and told to get on with it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imogen\u2019s diagnosis journey took a decade after starting her period, and her experience with the health care system was frustrating: \u201cEventually it got so bad I had to go to A&amp;E one working day. I was kept in for seven days. They tried to send me home multiple times, citing that the pain I was feeling was normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Eventually by day six, they took me in for a surgery where they <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/c36143p2wp0o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">removed my appendix<\/a>, and I had a gynaecologist pop in and say I did not have endometriosis.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Accessing skilled gynaecologists in the UK is difficult. \u201cThe waiting lists for surgery are often over two years long, and when you\u2019re living with chronic pain, two years to get treatment is abhorrent,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Some women have so much damage from this condition it revokes their ability to have children, and the more this condition is left to grow untreated, the more damage it can cause to organs.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Career and financial impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before becoming self-employed, Imogen had over 15 jobs and says only one of them was supportive. She believes companies aren\u2019t well-educated about endometriosis and its impact on women: \u201cI\u2019ve lost jobs in the past because I couldn\u2019t keep up with what was being asked of me as a sick person.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imogen says she has had to rely on her partner a lot financially due to her condition, which makes her feel inadequate sometimes. Over the past 12 years she\u2019s had five surgical interventions, which meant substantial time off work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I would advise them to have meetings with their management and try to educate them on the condition,&#8221; she said.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Smaller, independent companies may be more open to discussing policy changes to support those living with endometriosis.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Endometriosis action month<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.endometriosis-uk.org\/endometriosis-action-month-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Endometriosis Action Month<\/a> approaches, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) released an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ons.gov.uk\/releases\/theimpactofanendometriosisdiagnosisonmonthlyemployeepayandemployeestatusenglandapril2016todecember2022\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">influential study<\/a> showing how endometriosis impacts women&#8217;s employment and earnings in England.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries and fallopian tubes. It can cause severe pain during periods, chronic pelvic pain, fatigue, fertility issues and the formation of scar tissue over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The debilitating gynaecological condition affects <a href=\"https:\/\/www.endometriosis-uk.org\/endometriosis-facts-and-figures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1.5 million<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/makingendometriosisvisible.org\/introduction#:~:text=Making%20the%20invisible%2C%20visible%3A%20Endometriosis,this%20research%20project%20is%20located.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">approximately 1 in 10 women<\/a> in the UK &#8211;  equivalent to 17,000 women in Greater Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite being so common, public awareness remains low. About 54% of people don&#8217;t know what endometriosis is, with this figure rising to 74% among men. 62% of women aged 16\u201324 are unaware of the condition, and 45% cannot name any of its symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The data&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;rct=j&amp;q=&amp;esrc=s&amp;source=web&amp;cd=&amp;cad=rja&amp;uact=8&amp;ved=2ahUKEwie3v3Tq-aLAxUNQEEAHeMkFyEQFnoECBQQAQ&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ons.gov.uk%2Freleases%2Ftheimpactofanendometriosisdiagnosisonmonthlyemployeepayandemployeestatusenglandapril2016todecember2022&amp;usg=AOvVaw2_6fek2pQqOO69u_cwHexm&amp;opi=89978449\">ONS study<\/a>  examined employment and pay data for women aged 25\u201354 who received endometriosis diagnoses at NHS hospitals. The analysis covered the two years before and five years after diagnosis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing from the 2011 census, NHS records, and HMRC payroll data, it shows how endometriosis affects women&#8217;s careers: women with endometriosis typically experience lower monthly earnings and are less likely to maintain paid employment after diagnosis.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among those who stay employed, monthly earnings decline steadily after diagnosis. Four-to-five years after diagnosis, workers experience an average drop of \u00a356 per month compared to their pre-diagnosis income.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This suggests that after diagnosis, women often shift to lower-paying positions or reduce their working hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges in diagnosis&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spirehealthcare.com\/consultant-profiles\/mr-kenneth-ma-c6151141\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dr Kenneth Ma<\/a>, a consultant gynaecologist specialising in severe endometriosis at St Mary\u2019s Hospital in Manchester, highlights how difficult it is to be diagnosed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained: \u201cKnowledge of endometriosis is still lacking in both the formal education system and in generational acceptance or misinformation within families. This often leads to incorrect beliefs that the symptoms women have with menstruation are normal, and therefore, they present late to their GPs or not at all.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He acknowledged that once diagnosed, many women face difficulties balancing work with their health needs: &#8220;This, unfortunately, leads to an increase in suffering and this impacts on all aspects of wellbeing, including physical and psychological health, impact on relationships, ability to conceive and ability to work.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2025\/02\/Image-1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Dr. Kenneth Ma, an East-Asian man with short hair, smiles into the camera.
