SJR52,1,2
1Relating to: designating the month of March as Endosalpingiosis Awareness
2Month.
SJR52,1,43
Whereas, Endosalpingiosis is a rare disease that exclusively affects women,
4mostly between the ages of 30–49 years; and
SJR52,1,65
Whereas, Endosalpingiosis is characterized by the presence of tubal epithelium
6outside of the fallopian tube; and
SJR52,1,87
Whereas, the prevalence of Endosalpingiosis is difficult to establish, since it is
8diagnosed only through surgical biopsy; and
SJR52,1,119
Whereas, common symptoms of Endosalpingiosis include pelvic pain,
10infertility, menstrual irregularities, and dyspareunia, along with chronic back pain
11being reported as a common issue years before diagnosis; and
SJR52,1,1412
Whereas, some of the biggest issues that patients face are uncertainty about
13how the condition develops and a lack of doctors who specialize in Endosalpingiosis;
14and
SJR52,2,4
1Whereas, there is currently no cure or known treatment for Endosalpingiosis,
2and there is little research being done to better understand the disease, so increasing
3awareness and educating the public is vital to supporting those impacted by
4Endosalpingiosis in our state; and
SJR52,2,75
Whereas, nonprofit groups such as Endosalpingiosis Foundation are working
6tirelessly to provide a much-needed support system for those who have been
7diagnosed and to continue to raise awareness and funding for research; and
SJR52,2,108
Whereas, Endosalpingiosis Awareness Month gives Wisconsin residents the
9opportunity to learn more about this condition and increase the resources and
10support available; now, therefore, be it
SJR52,2,12
11Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the month of March
12shall be designated as Endosalpingiosis Awareness Month.
