Endometriosis: Recognizing Chronic Disease and Designating Awareness Month (March 2023)
The US Senate recognized endometriosis as a significant chronic disease affecting millions of women and designated March 2023 as Endometriosis Awareness Month. This resolution aims to address the lack of awareness and long diagnostic delays associated with the condition, which causes debilitating pain and high healthcare costs. It encourages federal agencies, including HHS, to boost research and improve the quality of information available on screening and treatment options.
Key points
Official recognition of endometriosis as a major health issue requiring greater public attention and education, potentially reducing the average 10-year diagnostic delay.
Encouragement for federal agencies (HHS, DoD, VA) to conduct additional research and update treatment guidelines and informational tools for patients and providers.
Increased awareness aims to mitigate the significant financial burden (over $13,000 annually per patient) and productivity loss associated with the disease.
