When people talk about the [[Gender disparities in health|gender bias in healthcare]], [[endometriosis]] is often the first disease that is brought up. It causes tissue like that of the [[endometrium]] (the tissue that bleeds during periods) to grow outside of the uterus, for instance on bowels or in the lungs. Even thought endometriosis is common (10% of reproductive-age women), individuals wait an average of 5 to 12 years for a diagnosis, and can experience years of intense pain in the meantime. Treatment does not always work, or can stop working over time. Research funding is relatively low.
The article received a lovely review from [[User:IntentionallyDense|IntentionallyDense]], a great GA review from [[User:Strange Orange|Strange Orange]] and an incredibly detailed pre-FAC review from [[User:UndercoverClassicist|UndercoverClassicist]]. I'm looking forward to further comments. [[User:Femke|—Femke 🐦]] ([[User talk:Femke|talk]]) 17:54, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
