This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' strong support for designating March 2026 as Endometriosis Awareness Month . It highlights endometriosis as a common, chronic gynecological disease affecting one in ten women of reproductive age, often leading to significant delays in diagnosis and a reduced quality of life due to debilitating pain and infertility. The resolution recognizes the urgent need for early detection and treatment of endometriosis, alongside increased education for healthcare providers and the provision of culturally competent care. It also emphasizes the substantial burden the disease places on patients, including high healthcare costs, impaired career growth, and significant lost productivity, with many experiencing misdiagnosis. Furthermore, the House commits to actively supporting and funding ongoing endometriosis research to develop more effective treatments, improve fertility outcomes, and ultimately find a cure. The resolution encourages the people of the United States to observe March 2026 with appropriate awareness and educational activities to shed light on this debilitating condition and its profound impact on individuals' lives.
