Every year, Endometriosis Awareness Month shines a light on a condition that affects millions of women worldwide, yet remains widely misunderstood. Endometriosis is more than just ‘bad period pain’; it is a chronic and often debilitating illness that can significantly impact a person’s quality of life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), endometriosis is a disease in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. This tissue can be found on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and other areas within the pelvis.
