Petition Expand menstrual health education & early screening for conditions

I feel too many people suffer in silence from conditions like endometriosis and adenomyosis without knowing what they are. Some data suggests that in the UK 1 in 10 women are affected by endometriosis, it takes on average 8 yrs 10 months to diagnose, and only 50% of 16-24-yr-olds know what it is.

More details

I want to see two changes:

Expand menstrual health education in the National Curriculum for schools and colleges, including teaching about conditions like endometriosis and adenomyosis, and encourage universities to teach this too.

Introduce routine screening for such conditions from age 14 to help catch these conditions early. Early detection can help prevent years of pain, misdiagnosis, and damage.
