"Yellow for Endo" - World Endometriosis Awareness

This post is specially dedicated to my roommate; my bestfriend; my sister. I'll get you as much supporters as I can and show you that you're not alone. In fact, you're never alone. I'm here, God's with you, and so is the rest of the world. So never ever give up on yourself as I promise you i'm always gonna be there for you; when i'm away, my prayers are there; when i'm with you, my strength is for you; when i'm gone, my spirit would most probably be around to guide you. ;)


"Yellow for Endo" is an effort to raise awareness for women fighting with endometriosis. The month of March is dedicated to raise worldwide awareness about this condition.

For the entire day on the 1st of March 2012, WEAR a yellow t-shirt/dress/anything in yellow to show your support and care towards patients of this problem.

Endometriosis affects an estimated 176 million women worldwide regardless of their ethnic and social background. Many remain undiagnosed and are therefore not treated.

Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (the endometrial stroma and glands, which should only be located inside the uterus) is found elsewhere in the body. The body experiences abnormal growth of cells which results in lesions on the ovaries, the fallopian tubes, on the pelvic side-wall (peritoneum), the uterosacral ligaments,the cul-de-sac, the rectal-vaginal septum, on the bladder, on the bowel, on the intestines, colon, appendix, and rectum.

The most common symptom of endometriosis is pelvic pain. For many women, the pain of endometriosis is so severe and debilitating that it impacts their lives in significant ways.

Any woman can be diagnosed with this medical issue and though one possibly may not die from it, they live the rest of their lives in excruciating pain all the time.

If you, or someone you care about, has endometriosis, it is important to research the disease as much as possible.

"Yellow for Endo" is to show that though we may not exactly understand what the person having this problem is going through, we are here to support them and uplift their fighting spirit.

This is the link to join the awareness.
