First daily pill for treating endometriosis symptoms has been approved for use on the NHS in England .

The relugolix combination therapy pill works by blocking specific hormones that contribute to the condition.

It will only be available on NHS for people who have already tried all other treatments and found they did not help - equivalent to 1,000 women a year.

Charity says pill gives patients more choice but will help only a relatively small number of people.
