March is Endometriosis Awareness Month! Endometriosis is a debilitating and often painful disease where the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. It affects approximately 1 in 10 women and can have significant impacts on daily living and quality of life. Unfortunately, there is no cure for endometriosis, and it can take up to 8 years on average to diagnose.
