Default Re: Fibroid tumors and Endomitriousis in women

I second it. This issue is alarming and is underground due to its sensitive nature. Infertility in men and women are decreasing. It seems the public stats I found are old and not specific.

Stats from wrongdiagnosis.com
Prevalance of Endometriosis: 10 to 20 percent of American women of childbearing age have endometriosis (NIDCD); up to 2 million women in the UK.
Prevalance Rate: approx 1 in 20 or 5.00% or 13.6 million people in USA [about data]

National Institute of Child Health & Human Development, 2003.
• At least 5.5 million women in North America alone have endometriosis.
• About 35 percent to 50 percent of women with endometriosis are infertile, making it one of the top three causes for female infertility.
• Current estimates place the number of women with endometriosis between 2 percent and 10 percent of women of reproductive age. But, it's important to note that these are only estimates, and that such statistics can vary widely.
