Endometriosis and adenomyosis are complex conditions that affect the quality of life of millions of women and are often diagnosed late. By making this silent struggle visible, our Association is committed to empowering patients, helping physicians access up-to-date scientific evidence, and fostering accurate awareness within society.
Awareness campaigns for the public and patients’ families,
Training programs, seminars, and scientific meetings for physicians,
Informative projects for young people and students,
Publishing activities that support the creation of scientific content,
Collaborative work carried out with national and international organizations.
Our Association also aims to improve access to information through annual scientific congresses, updated guidelines, article summaries, video content, and patient-focused support materials.
Our core principle in all our activities is:
scientific accuracy, public benefit, equal access, and a focus on strengthening women’s health.
To raise public awareness about endometriosis and adenomyosis—conditions that threaten women’s health—support early diagnosis, ensure a reliable flow of information between patients and physicians, and contribute to scientific research.
To become a leading non-governmental organization that serves as a scientific reference point in Türkiye and globally in the field of endometriosis and adenomyosis—bringing physicians and the public together while aiming to improve patients’ quality of life.
Dear colleagues, patients, and patients’ families,
Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects 190 million women worldwide, yet it remains insufficiently recognized, and the average time to diagnosis is still 7–10 years. Our Association was founded with the mission of making this silent pain visible, improving patients’ quality of life, and ensuring that scientific knowledge reaches every part of society.
Since 2015, we have been providing comprehensive education and support programs for both patients and healthcare professionals through a multidisciplinary approach. Through EndoMarch awareness walks, the Endometriosis at School project, EndoSchool training programs, and the scientific congresses we organize regularly, we work to increase awareness of endometriosis.
Thanks to our international collaborations, we bring global standards to our country, follow the latest scientific developments, and share them with our community. Together with our Scientific Committee and our Young Board members, we closely monitor the most recent advances in the field of endometriosis and help translate them into clinical practice.
I would like to thank all our members, volunteers, supporters, and patient advocates. Together, we will continue to raise awareness of endometriosis and improve patients’ quality of life.
