Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes March 2025 as Endometriosis Awareness Month. It aims to bring attention to a disease where tissue grows outside the uterus, affecting about 1 in 10 women of reproductive age.
The proposal highlights that women often wait 3 to 11 years for a correct diagnosis. This delay can lead to high medical bills, with the average patient spending over $13,000 a year on healthcare costs related to the condition.
The resolution calls for more federal support for medical research and updated treatment guidelines. Currently, there is no known cure for endometriosis, and many women suffer from chronic pain or trouble getting pregnant.
Lawmakers want to improve education for doctors and the public to help find the disease earlier. Better awareness could help reduce the 18 days of work or school the average patient misses each year due to symptoms.
