If you’re wondering how endometriosis affects your chances of getting mortgage protection or life insurance, here’s the good news: your chances are excellent.

Excellent.

Endometriosis, while a chronic condition, is not life-threatening.

This means most insurers will view your application favourably, offering you the same pricing as they would for someone without medical conditions. In other words:

  • The insurer shouldn’t add a loading (extra charge) to your policy.
  • You can expect standard pricing for mortgage protection and life insurance.

So, rest assured—having endometriosis will not automatically result in higher premiums.

What Questions Will the Insurance Company Ask?

When applying for life insurance or mortgage protection, insurers must assess your medical history to understand your situation. For endometriosis, they’ll typically ask:

  • When were you diagnosed with endometriosis?
  • How severe is your endometriosis? (This includes symptoms such as pain, heavy periods, or fertility issues.)
  • Have you had surgery? (If yes, were there any complications?)
  • Are you currently taking medication for endometriosis?
  • Do you go for regular checkups with your gynaecologist?
  • Do you have a family history of uterine or ovarian cancer?

These questions help insurers evaluate your case, but don’t worry—they’re standard and straightforward.

Pro Tip: You can speed up the process by filling out a gynaecological questionnaire in advance.

Will I Need to Do a Medical?

In most cases, you won’t need a medical examination.

However, there’s a small chance the insurer may request a report from your GP. This is routine and helps confirm the details provided in your application.

How Much Will My Cover Cost?

The cost of your cover depends on your specific situation, but generally:

  • If there are no complications (e.g., additional medical conditions or frequent hospitalizations), you should qualify for standard pricing for life insurance, mortgage protection, and serious illness cover.
  • For income protection policies, the insurer may include an exclusion for absences from work related to endometriosis.

That’s why working with a broker is important—we know which insurers offer the best terms for conditions like endometriosis.
