Reclassify endometriosis & adenomyosis as chronic health conditions
Background
Chronic disease classification, clinical approach toward non-reactionary care, immunology, gut health testing, providing non-hormonal/surgical investigations. Increased access to use of cancer-adjacent treatments, GnRH antagonists, selective progesterone receptor modulators on prescription etc
Additional details
To ensure earlier and accurate diagnosis, reduce the chances of dismissal, broader treatment access, reduced surgical demand, improved fertility and quality of life. Proper classification would support earlier detection, continuous management plans, multidisciplinary care, better insurance coverage, and greater prioritization in research funding, reduce delays, and ease the heavy economic burden on patients, the NHS, the workforce and society at large.
