🌼 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Did you know that 1 in 10 women of reproductive age live with endometriosis?

❤️‍🩹Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation and pain.

*Symptoms can include:*

💥 severe period pain
🩸 heavy bleeding
😣 chronic pelvic pain
🤰 difficulty getting pregnant
🤢 bloating and nausea

For many, it affects daily life — from school and work to relationships and mental health. Yet diagnosis can take 4 to 12 years on average, because symptoms are often misunderstood or dismissed.

🏥 While there is currently no cure, treatments such as pain medicines, hormonal therapy and sometimes surgery can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

*What can help?*

🔹Learn the symptoms
🔹Talk openly about menstrual health
🔹Seek medical advice if pain disrupts daily life

Greater awareness and earlier diagnosis can make a real difference.
