Bill > SJR12

This resolution seeks to designate March as Endosalpingiosis Awareness Month, highlighting a rare medical condition that primarily affects women aged 20-49. Endosalpingiosis is a complex disease characterized by the presence of fallopian tube-like epithelium outside of the actual fallopian tube, which can only be definitively diagnosed through surgical biopsy. The resolution notes that the condition presents challenging symptoms including pelvic pain, infertility, menstrual irregularities, and dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse), with patients often experiencing chronic back pain years before receiving a diagnosis. Currently, there is no known cure or standard treatment for Endosalpingiosis, and research is limited, making awareness and education critically important. The resolution emphasizes the work of nonprofit groups like the Endosalpingiosis Foundation in providing support and raising awareness, and aims to give Wisconsin residents an opportunity to learn more about this condition, increase understanding, and potentially expand resources and support for those affected by this complex and poorly understood medical condition.
