Endometriosis Awareness takes place across the globe during the month of March with a mission to raise awareness of a disease which affects an estimated 200 million worldwide.
The pain of endometriosis can be devastating; it is the biggest cause of infertility in women, and carries a huge personal and societal burden!
Together we are poised to take action on behalf of those affected by endometriosis.
The Centre for Endometriosis Care is pleased to announce that we will again be having the Queen building, an iconic Atlanta landmark, light the Perimeter Center skyline in yellow once more to mark Endometriosis Awareness Month on 19 March 2022.
This year, the Endometriosis Foundation of America is delighted to host four weekends of virtual programming featuring physician- and patient-led panels, virtual coffee tables for networking, as well as meditation sessions, the conferences will be sure to help you connect with other endometriosis warriors, learn about the disease, and share your experience with endometriosis.

What is endometriosis? Endometriosis happens when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (womb) grows outside of the uterus. It may affect more than 11% of American women between 15 and 44. It is especially common among women in their 30s and 40s and may make it harder to get pregnant. Several different treatment options can help manage the symptoms and improve your chances of getting pregnant. Get a fact sheet HERE.
