- Endometriosis affects people mostly in their reproductive years (aged 12-52) and can even affect those in their youth.
- On average, there is a 7-10-year delay in diagnosis.
- Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility.
- It is most commonly diagnosed in women in their 30s and 40s.
- 190 million women and girls from around the world live with signs and symptoms of this condition.

Pelvic Health
