March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, a time dedicated to supporting those affected by the condition and increasing understanding of a disease that impacts nearly 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. Despite how common it is, endometriosis often remains misunderstood, overlooked or diagnosed only after years of symptoms. By raising awareness, we help empower individuals to seek answers sooner and encourage meaningful conversations about menstrual and pelvic health.
