SUMMARY:Elucidating Endometriosis: Persistent Gaps in Research & Care
DESCRIPTION:Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that affects more than 200 million women worldwide. Endometrial lesions tend to form in the pelvic cavity outside of the uterus\, causing pain in a woman’s pelvis and back\, between periods\, and with intercourse\, as well as heavy menstrual bleeding and infertility. In fact\, 30-50% of individuals with endometriosis experience infertility.  \nAlthough endometriosis can begin in adolescence and also affect postmenopausal women\, it is most commonly diagnosed in a woman’s 30s or 40s. Endometriosis can often go undetected and inadequately treated for a significant period of time. This delay is primarily due to the societal stigma surrounding menstruation and gynecological disorders\, which has been shown to postpone diagnosis up to 6.7 years. Moreover\, because there is no cure for endometriosis\, it is critical that women are engaged and empowered throughout their journey with this chronic condition and supported in living a high quality of life.  \nSWHR convened an interdisciplinary Endometriosis Education Working Group of health care providers\, researchers\, patients and patient advocates\, and health care policy leaders for a closed\, roundtable meeting in September 2023. During the roundtable\, the Working Group discussed the impact of endometriosis on women’s health\, with an emphasis on addressing persistent gaps in diagnosis and treatment. Working Group members also had the opportunity to participate in meetings with Congressional offices to discuss strategies to advance endometriosis research and care for all women.

SUMMARY:Addressing Sex Differences in Heart Health and Access to Care Barriers that Impact Outcomes for Women: A Policy and Public Health Approach
DESCRIPTION:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, heart disease—which refers to several types of heart conditions—is the leading cause of death in both women and men in the United States. In 2020\, one in five deaths was due to heart disease. Heart disease can be silent and often goes undiagnosed until a person experiences signs or symptoms of a heart attack\, heart failure\, or an arrhythmia. \nThe burden of heart disease is large in terms of mortality\, morbidity\, and social and economic (both direct and indirect costs) costs. Further\, despite it being the leading cause of death for both men and women\, only 56% of women recognize the risk of death from heart disease. There is a great need to raise awareness of the risk factors\, symptoms\, how to talk to providers\, how to navigate insurance\, and more. \nSWHR convened an interdisciplinary Heart Health Policy Working Group of policy experts\, researchers\, clinicians\, and patient advocates for a closed\, roundtable meeting on September 21\, 2023. During the roundtable\, the Working Group discussed policy needs and opportunities as they relate to women’s heart health across the lifespan.
