about endometriosis
Endometriosis is a chronic, complex, yet
relatively common gynecological disorder, reportedly affecting 1 in 101 adult and adolescent women. Endometriosis causes tissue similar to the lining of the uterus to grow outside the uterus, which can cause severe pelvic pain and make it harder to become pregnant.
Endometriosis has a significant impact on society, public health, and the economy. It can cause severe pain, fatigue, depression, and anxiety which can negatively affect quality of life for those impacted. In some cases, endometriosis can even lead to infertility.
