Endometriosis Awareness Day is marked every year on March 1, during Endometriosis Awareness Month. Endometriosis is an inflammatory condition that happens in women when tissue begins growing outside the uterus. The day aims to create awareness and promote research to find a cure for Endometriosis. It also aims to address the stigma that comes with Endometriosis in the form of infertility.
History
In 1993, The Endometriosis Association started Endometriosis Awareness Month to promote the cause by providing information and support to those with the condition, and by distributing yellow ribbons.
