Many women suffer undiagnosed for many years meaning that they spend much of their time in considerable pain and discomfort. Help is available if only the condition can be recognized.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms can include painful periods, pain during or after intercourse, chronic pelvic pain, painful bowel movements and fatigue. It is important to know that endometriosis is NOT an infection or a cancer and it CANNOT be passed from one person to another.<\/p>\n<p>Many women put up with some or all of these symptoms, believing them to be \u2018normal\u2019 when they are not. The effects of the condition can be far-reaching, including depression and problems with relationships in both home life and work.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone concerned should talk to their Doctor. More information is available on the website: www.endometriosis-uk.org or via the helpline 0808 808 2227<\/p>\n<p>Students and staff at the Cannock campus were very interested in and grateful for the information they received, taking away leaflets which would be passed on to friends and family members.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/02\/endo-day.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-720\" src=\"\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/02\/endo-day-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"endo day\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/02\/endo-day-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/cannock-and-district\/files\/2015\/02\/endo-day.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo: l to r: Dr Janis Lomas, President SI Cannock &amp; District; Soroptimists Jenny Holmes, Dr Sue Cartlidge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soroptimists in the UK are raising awareness amongst women and girls about the debilitating condition&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":204,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-club-news","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Endometriosis Awareness Day | News | Blog | Events | SI Cannock and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Cannock and District : Blog &amp; News : Endometriosis Awareness Day : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Cannock and District .
