“Health, social and economic benefits of addressing endometriosis

Endometriosis has significant social, public health and economic implications. It can decrease quality of life due to severe pain, fatigue, depression, anxiety, and infertility. Some individuals with endometriosis experience debilitating endometriosis-associated pain that prevents them from going to work or school. In these situations, addressing endometriosis can reduce absence from school or increase an individual’s ability to contribute to the labour force. Painful sex due to endometriosis can lead to interruption or avoidance of intercourse and affect the sexual health of affected individuals and/or their partners. Addressing endometriosis will empower those affected by it, by supporting their human right to the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health, quality of life, and overall well-being “ (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/endometriosis).
