DE SR28

Designates March 2022 as "Endometriosis Awareness Month" in Delaware to raise global awareness of the disease and support those affected.

Notes that approximately 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, with 200 million women internationally diagnosed, though actual numbers are significantly higher due to underdiagnosis.

Describes endometriosis as a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing chronic inflammation, scar tissue, and symptoms including severe pain, fatigue, heavy bleeding, and infertility.

Highlights that diagnosis can take 7-10 years and that women with endometriosis continue working despite experiencing excruciating pain and numerous debilitating symptoms.

Aims to increase awareness, support research efforts, and educate women about this "invisible" disease.
