Endometriosis Awareness Week: Understanding and Managing the Condition

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about this often misunderstood and debilitating condition. Endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide, causing significant pain and discomfort.




What is Endometriosis?

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, often on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic organs.

This misplaced tissue can cause chronic pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and infertility.

Symptoms of Endometriosis

The symptoms of endometriosis can vary widely from person to person and may include:

  • Pelvic pain: Chronic pelvic pain, often worse during menstruation.

  • Painful periods: Severe menstrual cramps that may worsen over time.

  • Pain during sex: Discomfort or pain during intercourse.

  • Infertility: Difficulty conceiving.
