Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, causing chronic pain, infertility, and a significant impact on daily life, relationships, and work — yet women typically wait 3 to 11 years between first symptoms and getting a correct diagnosis. About 75 percent are misdiagnosed at some point, and the condition costs patients more than $13,000 per year in direct healthcare costs. This resolution supports designating March 2025 as Endometriosis Awareness Month, recognizes the need for earlier detection and better provider education, and calls for continued research funding toward more effective treatments and ultimately a cure. There is currently no known cure for endometriosis.
Congressional Summary
This resolution expresses support for the goals and ideals of Endometriosis Awareness Month. Endometriosis is a painful condition in which the tissue that normally lines the inside of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
