Film Festival: Endo What?Friday, March 15 Endometriosis or endo is the most common, devastating disease that most people have never heard of. It affects 1 in 10 girls and women. Thats approximately 176,000,000 people on the planet. Despite its prevalence, women see an average of 8 doctors for 10 years before diagnosis. During that time, many are forced to miss school, leave careers they love, abandon dreams of having children and watch their personal relationships suffer. Theyre often told incorrectly by doctors that pregnancy & hysterectomy are cures and that pain is normal or in their heads. After diagnosis, theyre usually prescribed an array of drugs & undergo multiple, ineffective surgeries. Its a film to educate & put power where it belongs in the hands of girls & women. |
