*About Endometriosis:
Though most commonly found in cis-women, endometriosis can affect anyone. According to the , endometriosis is a disease where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing pain and/or infertility. It is a chronic disease associated with severe, life-impacting pain during periods, sexual intercourse, bowel movements and/or urination, chronic pelvic pain, abdominal bloating, nausea, fatigue, and sometimes depression, anxiety, and infertility. The variable and broad symptoms of endometriosis mean that healthcare workers do not quickly diagnose the condition. At present, there is no known cure for endometriosis. There is a need for more research and awareness around the world to ensure effective prevention, early diagnosis, and improved disease management.
