March 2024 – Endometriosis Awareness Month

Endometriosis is a chronic condition characterised by growth of endometrial tissue in sites other than the uterus, most commonly in the pelvic cavity, but also in other parts of the body.

Endometriosis impacts 1 in 10 women, but so many people are still unaware of the condition and its impact.⁠.

Endometriosis Action Month 2024 will be focussing and raising awareness of the common symptoms of Endometriosis.  By improving general public awareness and understanding of the condition, this will hopefully ensure more prompt diagnosis and access to care.⁠  For further information please click here.

The British Acupuncture Council has made available a factsheet outlining the latest research on Endometriosis, please follow this link: Endometriosis fact sheet to see how Acupuncture can support people suffering with Endometriosis by helping to reduce inflammation and by providing pain relief.
