Endometriosis.

 On Monday evening on BBC One the journalist Emma Barnett, explored the debilitating effects of endometriosis. According to the NHS website - ‘there is currently no effective treatment’. Apparently 10 per cent of women, can suffer from the physical disability. Emma Barnett, explained that since starting her periods, she has suffered excruciating pain outside her period cycle. How is it possible that such a universal condition, should have such little research money spent on it? Only in Edinburgh Universit combined with Birmingham University is research happening in this country. If this health condition applied to men, we would have a cure by now. It’s a mark of the rampant underlying misogyny and sexism in the male dominated medical profession. When Barnett interviewed the previous health secretary - Wes Streeting, he wasn’t exactly convincing - that more money would go into research and treatment. Disgraceful.
