"What is Endometriosis?"

Order Educational MaterialsBRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN SCIENCE & SUPPORT Endometriosis is a reproductive illness affecting an estimated 176 million women and girls around the world (WERF). Mistakenly stigmatized as merely "painful periods", the disease is far more than just simple "killer cramps". The far-reaching effects of endometriosis negatively impact all of society - indeed, staggering costs associated with the illness soar near an estimated $110 billion annually. We strive to make a positive difference in the lives of all those affected by the disease. For almost two decades, ERC has been an international leader in endometriosis awareness, education, encouragement and empowerment, and is involved in a number of global endometriosis research and collaborative efforts. Unlike other organizations, however, we are unique in that we are not fee-based. There is never a cost to be involved in or benefit from the ERC’s many programs. There are many ways in which the ERC can help you, whether you are a women or girl with endometriosis, a loved one, physician, researcher or media contact. We are dedicated not only to improving the quality of life for those with the disease, but to continuing our important work with clinicians and researchers all over the world as well in order to find more effective treatments for the disease - and ultimately, to find the cure. It has been our mission since early 1997 to bridge the gap between patients and professionals. Come join our efforts...we’re glad you’re here.
