Endometriosis Awareness Day

March 1, Saturday

Endometriosis Awareness Day, celebrated on March 1st, is an important event aimed at raising awareness about the disease, its symptoms, and its impact on the lives of women worldwide. Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the inner lining of the uterus (endometrium) begins to grow outside the uterus, which can lead to pain, infertility, and other health problems.

History of the Day
Endometriosis Awareness Day was established to inform the public about this disease and draw attention to its serious consequences for women. It was founded in 1993 by the international organization Endometriosis Association. Since then, March 1st has become a day when various campaigns, events, and initiatives are held to increase awareness and support those who suffer from endometriosis.

Goals and Objectives of the Day

Importance of the Day
