Focus for 2025: ‘Endometriosis Explained’
Endometriosis Awareness Month, is dedicated to raising awareness about endometriosis—a chronic and often painful condition affecting millions of women worldwide. This month’s awareness campaign aims to educate the public, support those affected, and advocate for improved treatments and research.
The theme for Endometriosis Awareness Month 2025 is ‘Endometriosis Explained.’ This year’s focus is on enhancing understanding among the general public and ensuring that healthcare practitioners effectively communicate information about the condition to patients.
What is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue, similar to the lining inside the uterus, grows outside it. This growth can cause significant pain, especially during menstruation, and in some cases may lead to infertility.
Causes of Endometriosis
The exact cause remains unclear, but it may involve genetic, immune, and environmental factors.
Symptoms of Endometriosis
• Severe pelvic pain, especially during periods
• Heavy menstrual bleeding or bleeding between periods
• Pain during or after intercourse
• Infertility or difficulty conceiving
• Fatigue and digestive issues
Treatment Options for Endometriosis
Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition and symptoms and include:
Pain management: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and hormonal treatments.
Surgery: Laparoscopic surgery to remove endometrial tissue can help relieve pain and improve fertility.
Fertility treatment: In some cases, assisted reproductive technologies may be considered for women struggling to conceive.
