1 in 10 women of reproductive age are affected by endometriosis, yet diagnosis can take 7–10 years.¹˒²
Endometriosis is more than painful periods. It's a chronic disease that may cause:
• Pelvic pain
• Heavy bleeding
• Fatigue and bloating
• Fertility challenges
Signs and symptoms can vary widely, which may contribute to delays in diagnosis.
Awareness matters. Earlier recognition and informed conversations may help people seek answers sooner.
