Visanne made available on the NHS for endometriosis
To make the medication Visanne available in the United Kingdom on the NHS to woman suffering from endometriosis. Currently Visanne isn’t available in the UK, it is the only medication proven to slow down and even stop the severe pain and causes of Endometriosis.
Why is this important?
Many woman suffer from the crippling pain caused by endometriosis on a daily basis in UK, it is a disorder in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows on the outside effecting the Ovaries, Fallopian tubes and tissue in the pelvis. Many lead restricted lifestyles and cannot enjoy the freedom many of us take for granted, some are forced to give up their jobs completely as they struggle with day to day life. 1 in 10 woman between the age of 15 and 49 are diagnosed with the condition which causes a paralysing pain in the legs, back and abdominal area. Many go through multiple surgeries to attempt to stop the pain which in many cases it is futile.
