Your Complete Resource for Women’s Reproductive Health

September 10, 2009

Thank you to Jeanne for calling awareness to Endometriosis sufferers everywhere. Help her to create awareness and understanding by signing her petition. We just did, so now there are 427 signatures. Below is the story from her blog at http://chronichealing.com. To sign the petition, please click here.

(Published Oct. 31, 2008) An estimated 89 MILLION women and girls worldwide have endometriosis! "This makes endometriosis more common than AIDS and more common than cancer", as per Ohio State University Medical Center. (Source: http://bit.ly/PyjDP).

Yet for years it has remained largely "under-the-radar". The general public has been largely unaware of it - or misunderstands just how very debilitating it can be. When endometriosis IS mentioned in the media, misleading statements may be made (causing confusion for patients and the public).

We have a duty to educate the public about this life-altering illness by spreading factual information... and by recognizing misinformation and taking steps to address that.

Endometriosis can only be diagnosed via a surgical procedure called a laparoscopy.

Endometriosis awareness is vital! It is equally vital that information disseminated about endometriosis be accurate! In spreading myths and misinformation, endometriosis patients are hurt rather than helped.

The purpose of this petition is endometriosis awareness. ANYONE who wishes to sign it may do so. Whether you are male or female, young or old... if you wish to show support for the 89 million women and girls living with endometriosis, we'd be honored if you'd sign this online petition. If you wish to do so, you may include a comment when you sign. Please spread the word about this petition to others!

Thank you!

Sincerely,

Jeanne
