Endometriosis Awareness Month – Endometriosis Doesn’t Wait

As March comes to an end, we continue to raise awareness of endometriosis, with this year’s theme:
“Endometriosis Doesn’t Wait.”

Endometriosis can have a significant impact on daily life, yet many people wait years for a diagnosis. Increasing awareness helps ensure symptoms are recognised and taken seriously.

Symptoms may include:
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Painful periods
• Fatigue
• Pain during everyday activities
• Fertility challenges

Endometriosis does not wait, and access to support and understanding is important.

More information and support:

Raising awareness helps people feel heard and supported.

• Severe headache
• Vomiting
