New publication helps women get diagnosis and treatment they need.
2004 APR 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC) has issued a new publication in conjunction with Endometriosis Awareness month.
"Understanding Endometriosis," the latest in the series of "Fast Facts for Your Health," is now available online at the NWHRC website, www.healthywomen.org. It is part of an online information kit about the difficult-to-diagnose condition that affects more than 5.5 million American women of reproductive age.

The more women know the more they can work with their healthcare professionals to shorten the time between the onset of symptoms and effective treatment."
