This resolution advocates for the designation of March 2025 as Endometriosis Awareness Month , aiming to highlight a chronic disease affecting approximately 1 in 10 women of reproductive age. It acknowledges the significant challenges associated with endometriosis, including a diagnostic delay of three to eleven years and a high rate of misdiagnosis, which severely impacts patients' quality of life and incurs substantial healthcare costs. The resolution emphasizes the critical need for early detection and treatment , alongside increased education for healthcare providers and the provision of culturally competent care. It further expresses a strong commitment to supporting and funding endometriosis research, with the goal of developing more effective treatments, improving fertility outcomes, and ultimately finding a cure for this condition. The resolution encourages the public to participate in awareness and educational activities throughout the designated month.
