Welcome To Hey Endo!

Hull & East Yorkshire Endometriosis Support

A Registered Charity 1208886

We are a registered CIO who manage a peer run support group, full of people who have lived experience of Endometriosis, Adenomyosis, PCOS and other gynaecological conditions. We try our best to have a holistic view of supporting people and recognise that no two people need the same support.

How Can We Help?

What Is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis is a condition in which cells that are similar to the lining of the womb grow in other parts of the body.

It is often characterised as a gynaecological disease, but it can be found in or on any part of the body.

It is a chronic condition which currently has no cure.

Around 175 million women & those assigned female at birth have Endometriosis.

It takes an average of 8 years to get a diagnosis from the onset of symptoms.

Endometriosis affects 1.5 million people in the UK

Research into Endometriosis has been massively underfunded, so we still don’t know what causes Endometriosis or why
