🔍 What is it?

Endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.

🥀 For some women, endometriosis can take a big toll, physically and emotionally.

Symptoms include:

😰 Severe pelvic pain, especially during a period

😣 Pain during sex, bowel movements, or urination

😴 Fatigue

🩸 Heavy or irregular periods

💔 Trouble getting pregnant

🤢 Bloating or nausea

😓 Depression or anxiety

⚠️ Despite its impact, endometriosis is often misdiagnosed or ignored.

While there is currently no known cure for endometriosis, early treatment can slow or stop the progression of the disease and reduce the long-term symptoms.

❤️‍🩹If you or someone you know is struggling with symptoms, seek medical advice.

👵 Did you know that women live longer, but not necessarily healthier?

Women outlive men by 5 years on average, yet many older women struggle to access healthcare due to age and gender discrimination.

⚠️ They are more likely to be caregivers, experience higher rates of disability, and suffer from functional decline—yet less likely than men to get the care they need.

❤️‍🩹We must talk about this. Health equity for women means supporting them at every stage of life.
