Supporting the designation of March 2025 as Endometriosis Awareness Month.
Summary
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.
