Did you know that there is an association between chronic illness and stigma?

Moreover, did you know that endometriosis is a chronic condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide and, despite its prevalence, many still suffer in silence due to anticipated stigma, particularly within marginalized communities? A 2021 study found that in a population of persons with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis, those who were immigrants to the USA, identified as a sexual and gender minority individual, and were Black or Latina had higher levels of anticipated stigma compared to their U.S.-born, straight/heterosexual, and White counterparts.

These findings underscore the need for increased awareness and supportive environments for those with endometriosis and endometriosis associated symptoms. It’s crucial to understand the experiences of those who have for far too long been underserved in the endometriosis space to advocate for better treatment of endometriosis.
