***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
Relating to: designating the month of March as Endosalpingiosis Awareness
Month.
Whereas, Endosalpingiosis is a rare disease that primarily affects women
between the ages of 20-49 years; and
Whereas, Endosalpingiosis is characterized by the presence of tubal epithelium
outside of the fallopian tube; and
Whereas, the prevalence of Endosalpingiosis is difficult to establish, since it is
diagnosed only through surgical biopsy; and
Whereas, common symptoms of Endosalpingiosis include pelvic pain,
infertility, menstrual irregularities, and dyspareunia, along with chronic back pain
being reported as a common issue years before diagnosis; and
Whereas, some of the biggest issues that patients face are uncertainty about
how the condition develops and a lack of doctors who specialize in Endosalpingiosis;

Whereas, there is currently no cure or known treatment for Endosalpingiosis,
and there is little research being done to better understand the disease, so increasing
awareness and educating the public is vital to supporting those impacted by
Endosalpingiosis in our state; and
Whereas, nonprofit groups such as Endosalpingiosis Foundation are working
tirelessly to provide a much-needed support system for those who have been
diagnosed and to continue to raise awareness and funding for research; and
Whereas, Endosalpingiosis Awareness Month gives Wisconsin residents the
opportunity to learn more about this condition and increase the resources and
support available; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the month of March
shall be designated as Endosalpingiosis Awareness Month.
