EFHou hosts Endo What? screening

HOUSTON—Nearly 200 million people worldwide--or one out of every 10 women-- suffer from a debilitating chronic condition that many have never heard of. Endometriosis is under researched, poorly understood and has no cure. Endometriosis is as common as asthma, requires a medical diagnosis from a physician, but it takes an average of 10 years to be properly diagnosed. The symptoms of Endometriosis include:

Painful, debilitating cramps
Pain urination/bowel movements
Pelvic pain
Heavy Menstrual Periods/Bleeding between periods
Fatigue, Tiredness, and/or lack of energy
Possible infertility
