About International Endometriosis Awareness Month
Ends: Mar 31, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
Endometriosis can have a devastating effect on the quality of life due to its excruciating symptoms; it is the most significant cause of infertility in women and carries a substantial personal and societal cost.
Endometriosis Awareness Month takes place across the US and Canada to raise awareness of a disease affecting an estimated 176 million women worldwide.
Endometriosis is a painful, chronic disease that affects at least 6.3 million women and girls in the US, one million in Canada, and millions more worldwide. It occurs when tissue like that which lines the uterus (tissue called the endometrium) is found outside the uterus -- usually in the abdomen on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and ligaments that support the uterus; the area between the vagina and rectum; the outer surface of the uterus; and the lining of the pelvic cavity. Other sites for these endometrial growths may include the bladder, bowel, vagina, cervix, vulva, and abdominal surgical scars. Less commonly, they are found in the lung, arms, thighs, and other locations.
This misplaced tissue develops into growths or lesions, which respond to the menstrual cycle in the same way that the tissue of the uterine lining does: each month, the tissue builds up, breaks down, and sheds. Menstrual blood flows from the uterus and out of the body through the vagina, but the blood and tissue shed from endometrial growths have no way of leaving the body. This results in internal bleeding, breakdown of the blood and tissue from the lesions, and inflammation—and can cause pain, infertility, scar tissue formation, adhesions, and bowel problems.
