If left untreated, it progresses over time, so being undiagnosed can cause further damage to the bladder, bowel, and other pelvic organs.Emma Cox, CEO of Endometriosis UK – said she was delighted to see such a comprehensive commitment to improving awareness and knowledge of the debilitating condition.
“If they do it and fund it properly, it will be really good to see a government put genuine money and effort into doing it properly to raise awareness.” Cox said as well as a nationwide awareness campaign, she would like to see the Scottish Government bring other building blocks into improving care for women with the condition.
Cox said in many respects Scotland had already gone further than other UK nations in trying to standardise care by setting up centres of excellence on endometriosis in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, but there are still capacity issues which need addressing. “What the guidelines say is that every gynaecology department should have a specialist in endometriosis, but they haven’t appointed those that we are aware of.”
