Endometriosis Affects Your Students
At least 10% of the girls at your school have endometriosis. If you have 500 girls at your school, then at least 50 of them have endometriosis. It regularly interferes with a girl’s academics, sports, and other school activities, not to mention social relationships and emotional wellbeing. Symptoms can start in early puberty, even before a girl has her first period.
