National Endometriosis Awareness Month
March 1 - March 31
National Endometriosis Awareness Month is observed from 1st March each year.
It helps to raise awareness about this condition that can be hidden and often unrecognised.
#Endometriosis is a disease that affects women when tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows on the outer part of the uterus instead of inside it. Symptoms include pain, like dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, and chronic pelvic or abdominal pain. Endometriosis is known to lead to infertility. The prevalence rate ranges from 25% to 40% for women with subfertility.
National Endometriosis Awareness Month helps to spread information about endometriosis as a debilitating, and disabling disease. It recognises the consequences of living with endometriosis for the patient, care provider, and all those affected by the disease.
