‘Feels like barbed wire’. Endometriosis: the condition with no cure

Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and affecting fertility. It is estimated to cost the UK economy £8.2bn a year in treatment, loss of work and healthcare costs. <br /><br />Up to 30% of women who have surgery for endometriosis experience a recurrence within five years, according to the National Institutes of Health. There is still no cure for the condition. <br /><br />On the Sky News Daily, host Sally Lockwood is joined by Charline Bou Mansour, a Sky News reporter who has endometriosis, and Andrew Horne, Professor of Gynaecology and Reproductive Sciences at Edinburgh University, to explore the search for a way to relieve, or even cure, endometriosis. <br /><br />Producers: Emma Rae Woodhouse, Alex Edden and Soila Apparicio<br />Promotions Producer: Jada-Kai Meosa John <br />Editor: Wendy Parker
