Closed petition PE2204: Create a national database to record patient outcomes for endometriosis treatments
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to create a national database to record patient outcomes for medications, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and all other hormone therapies used to treat or manage endometriosis.
Background information
There is no national record tracking outcomes. Women are placed on drugs for months or years — often more than once — without an evidence base on effectiveness, side effects or long-term impact to support informed decision-making. We deserve transparency, data and accountability in our care. Women’s health should not exist in silence or guesswork.
This petition is not anti-treatment — it is pro-evidence and pro-patient safety. We need a national database to ensure every person with endometriosis receives care guided by real outcomes, not assumptions.
I have personally been on these drugs for years, and I have never been shown any evidence of success rates, risks, or long-term impact. This would never be accepted in any other area of medicine.
It’s time to change that.
I’m calling for a mandatory national database to track real-world outcomes of endometriosis treatments and HRT. Women’s health deserves evidence, not silence.
