Medway woman calls for endometriosis wellbeing hubs

A Medway woman has called for dedicated wellbeing hubs for people with endometriosis, saying they need more support while living with the condition. Her appeal comes as she speaks publicly about the impact of the pain and the isolation it can bring.

Endometriosis is a long-term condition in which tissue similar to the womb lining grows elsewhere in the body, often causing severe pain and other symptoms. Campaigners and patients have long argued that access to joined-up care can be difficult, with support often spread across different services.

The proposed hubs would aim to give patients a place to find practical help and emotional support alongside medical advice. The BBC reported that the Medway woman wants people affected by the condition to know they are not facing it on their own.

The call adds to wider discussion about how health services support people with chronic gynaecological conditions in the UK, where diagnosis and treatment can vary widely. Endometriosis affects millions of people worldwide and is often under-recognised.
