At Endometriosis Canada, we believe no young person should suffer in silence. Too many girls and gender-diverse youth endure years of pain before receiving an endometriosis diagnosis. Our new campaign, Our Daughters Matter, calls for urgent action to improve early diagnosis, medical education, and support. Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 people assigned female at birth often starting in adolescence. Many wait 5-10 years for a diagnosis, facing pain, missed school, dismissed symptoms. We must stand up for Canadian children. The adults must break the chain and stop overlooking their suffering.

OUR DAUGHTERS MATTER
Teen Support
Teen years can be hard enough without living with severe period pain, pelvic pain, fatigue, nausea, or symptoms that are brushed off as “normal.” Our Teen Support page is here to help young people and their families better understand endometriosis, recognize symptoms early, and find support while navigating school, friendships, appointments, and daily life. You are not being dramatic, and you are not alone.

Navigating endometriosis during the teen years can be overwhelming — from managing pain and fatigue to balancing school, friendships, and mental health. Access to age-appropriate, peer-based support can make a meaningful difference.
