World Health Day 2025
healthy beginnings, hopeful futures
Today is World Health Day 2025, and this year’s theme is “Healthy Beginnings, Hopeful Futures.” It’s all about prioritizing maternal and newborn health, which includes those of us living with endometriosis.
If you’re new here (welcome!), endo is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. It can cause everything from brutal cramps to fertility struggles, and is often misunderstood, overlooked, or completely dismissed. Sound familiar?
So, what does Healthy Beginnings mean for our community?
Let’s break it down:
Early diagnosis = early relief
The sooner someone gets diagnosed, the sooner they can get support and start managing their symptoms. No one should spend years wondering why their periods feel like medieval torture.Comprehensive, compassionate care
We need access to teams that get it. From OB-GYNs and fertility experts to pain specialists and therapists. Endo is more than a “bad period”—it touches every part of life.Fertility is part of the convo
Endo can impact pregnancy outcomes, increasing the risk of complications like preterm birth, pre-eclampsia, and miscarriage. That’s why research and tailored care matter so much.Awareness is power
Every time you speak up, share your story, or advocate for better care, you’re helping to change the game for the next generation. And that’s powerful.
Our call to action?
Let’s keep fighting for earlier diagnoses, better treatments, and way more support. Whether you’re managing your symptoms, exploring fertility options, or just trying to feel seen, you belong here, and you are not alone.
Here’s to healthier beginnings and more hopeful futures, for all of us.
