Endometriosis is a subject we are frequently asked about. But the most common question linked with this is ‘will it affect my fertility?’.
March 2021 marks this year’s endometriosis awareness month – with a clear focus on breaking the taboo, both inside and outside the workplace.

In the UK, one in 10 women suffer from endometriosis. There is no known cause of endometriosis and currently no definite cure. Although it does not necessarily solely cause infertility, as the second most common gynaecological condition in the UK, it can be related to fertility problems.
It is a condition that can affect someone’s every day life. Our factsheet below provides some quick highlights and tips to help support those who (or who may know someone that) may be experiencing symptoms.
