Endometriosis Awareness Month Highlights Urgent Need for Improved Diagnosis, Research

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting approximately 190 million women globally, remains underdiagnosed and inadequately treated despite its prevalence. In India, around 40% of women facing infertility are affected by endometriosis, which can lead to severe physical and emotional challenges. Recent research has introduced innovative therapies that target the underlying causes of the disease, including hormonal treatments and regenerative medicine. Awareness remains a critical issue, as many women experience significant delays in diagnosis and often face skepticism regarding their pain. Personal accounts underscore the struggles women endure, highlighting the need for better education and empathy in healthcare. Advocates for women's health stress the importance of addressing endometriosis not only through medical advancements but also by changing societal perceptions around menstrual pain.
