"endometriosis"

The Endometriosis Foundation of India is organising the 3rd Yellow Ribbon Run in Hyderabad on March 8 at T-Works, Gachibowli. The 10k, 5k, and 3k run aims to raise awareness and advocate for research on Endometriosis.

In an episode of her podcast Take20, the actress sat down with nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary to discuss menstruation, cycle syncing, endometriosis, and the often overlooked everyday health challenges women experience.

Endometriosis is as prevalent as diabetes and asthma among women, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood, misdiagnosed, underfunded, and under-researched health conditions. It significantly impacts women's lives mentally, personally, and professionally, said Dr. Vimee Bindra, founder of the Endometriosis Foundation of India, on Monday.

Endometriosis, which often goes undiagnosed for years, can severely impact women’s quality of life and fertility if left untreated

The mass awareness initiative featured EndoWarriors (those who conquered endometriosis) and their families, healthcare providers, researchers, and patient advocates.

The findings of the study were published in Human Reproduction, one of the world's leading reproductive medicine journals.

On average, 1 in 10 women suffers from endometriosis and over 42 million women in India are presently suffering

This NGO is dedicated to nurturing research, forming support networks, and fostering advocacy and awareness on a national scale.

Nowadays, most of the women are not ready to start the family due to social and economic reasons.

But awareness about the uterus beyond its role in menstruation and pregnancy is often limited.
