“Fun” Facts…

* It takes someone an AVERAGE of 8-10 years to be diagnosed with endometriosis

* You are 7-10x more likely to have endometriosis if a first degree relative has the disease

* Endometriosis is NOT the endometrium, and neither a hysterectomy nor an oophrectomy (removal of one/both ovaries) will stop or treat endometriosis

* 80% of those with uterine fibroids also have endometriosis

* Neither birth control nor GRNH antagonist drugs (e.g. Lupron) will slow or stop endometriosis. It may alleviate endometriosis pain temporarily, but it can still be doing just as much damage!
