Time for an intimate chat
The Uni of Derby is looking for endo warriors to talk frankly about the impact of the blight on their sex life.
Researchers rightly claim that the voices of those with the condition are not being heard, so this is your opportunity to change all of that and gain more awareness and understanding of what you are facing.
Please email
e.hooper4@unimailderby.ac.uk to find out how you can get involved in a project that has our full backing.
Derby isn’t the only Uni looking into endometriosis at present. A Sheffield student is pioneering a study into endo and sport, while Manchester’s work – funded by YOU – is progressing into better tools to cut the appalling ten year wait for a diagnosis.
We’ve long called for this kind of research to take place. And so let’s get involved in making the difference!
Bow to the expert knowledge on Adenomyosis
It has been dubbed endometriosis’s cruel cousin – and seems to be an even more invisible and ignored condition.
That’s why organisers of this year’s Adenomyosis Awareness Month are hoping for a similar bounce in publicity in April, as endo got in March.
And their drive certainly has a long way to go, as figures suggest 77% of us have never even heard of this chronic blight.
Our website has a page dedicated to the condition, which lists symptoms and treatments and reminds us that it is possible to have both endo and adenomyosis at the same time – go to ADENOMYOSIS A GUIDE .
We will be donning the purple-pink ribbons to do our bit, but there is nothing better for raising awareness than hearing the case studies of those who live with the condition.
If you would like to share your story, Endometriosis Awareness North will be your platform – and will post them here on this website, and on our social media.
Get in touch. Support our sisters with adenomyosis.
Thoughts on March of awareness
Our founder Dr Anita Sharma examines the pleasing rise in interest in endometriosis awareness over the last month – but questions, what happens next?
National TV coverage, mentions in Parliament, and even a BAFTA Award winning film have propelled our cause forward.
However, the waiting time for an endometriosis diagnosis has risen to a decade.
