Bill > SJR0565

This resolution, a formal expression by both the Senate and House of Representatives of the Tennessee General Assembly, officially designates March 2026 as "Endometriosis Awareness Month" within the state. The resolution highlights that endometriosis, a chronic gynecological disease affecting one in ten women of childbearing age, is a significant cause of pelvic pain and infertility, with an average diagnostic delay of ten years from symptom onset. It further notes the disease's impact on hospitalizations, lost productivity, and absenteeism due to chronic pain, and emphasizes the ongoing need for research to develop better treatments as there is currently no cure. The resolution underscores the importance of public and healthcare provider education to improve early detection and diagnosis of endometriosis.
