Read our latest blog on the borough who have hosted book launches, coffee mornings, fundraising events and even gave us pride of place at a historic event. https://endometriosisawarenessnorth.com/blogs/f/%E2%80%98dale-takes-health-to-its-heart-again
Rochdale is famed for singers such as Lisa Stansfield and Gracie Fields. Which is perhaps why it has been such an effective voice on raising awareness!
Our blog charts all the support the Greater #Manchester town has given us – including letting us have a stand at their first ever Pride event – and offers this key challenge to every other UK community:
Can you do the same?
Fancy writing a blog on endometriosis? Drop us a line and get your voice heard.
Endometriosis in the inside or on the outside of the bladder can be painful and even require surgery.
But how does it occur, how rare is it, and what can be done to address it?
These are all questions our next live webinar will look at on Monday 18 August (7pm) – see poster for more details.
The keynote speaker is Greater Manchester consultant Miss Sujata Gupta, a renowned expert in the medical and surgical treatment of complex endometriosis.
Past Monday monthly webinars have looked at issues such as pain management and fertility.
More details on how to join online or attend in-person will be coming soon.
Events, marches and walks, coffee mornings and even books (notably by our founder, Dr Anita Sharma).
But now the fight against endo has its own song.
And we are delighted to recommend it to you.
Gayaneh Lara’s “Endo” is out today (Friday 1 August) and you can download it at https://open.spotify.com/track/0pMTkzFnlS8IPEWUO8J2WG?si=1unEbZl6RdGnf6Rl0-IAvw&nd=1&dlsi=94ee2df941d043dc
Masquerading as a sad love song, “Endo” is actually an attack on the blight that eventually Gayaneh had to cut out.
Its melody will grab you too – and you will never get it out of your head!
The artist actually contacted us to tell us about her work. We have also had playwrights plotting endometriosis dramas tell us all about forthcoming projects and are happy to support any arts initiative highlighting a condition that affects one in ten women.
So back Gayaneh’s “Endo” - and pop endometriosis for good.
Here is a research project we – and we suspect many of you – have been waiting for.
Because Oxford University student Beth is carrying out a survey with endo warriors to examine, “the difficulties many women face with being not listened to and their symptoms not taken seriously by others.”
Our pages have been full of examples of women for whom this is an infuriating experience, and they speak of how the doubting (which can come from medics, too) can impact on their already fragile mental health.
So, our message is clear. Fill in this survey by using the QR Code on the poster and let us get these problems quantified and our voices heard.
We will keep you up to date with the project and thank Beth – on behalf of so many of you!

Featuring our treasured case study Courtney, it also gives medics a platform to call for quicker diagnosis of endometriosis.
With thanks to filmmakers Andrea Bertozzi and Pete Gibson Media.
