Since endometriosis affects one in ten girls, teenage ladies in Nigeria have sworn to raise awareness of the condition because early detection helps protect affected girls’ fertility.

Endometriosis is a challenging health problem in which tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. It can cause severe pain in the pelvis and make it harder to get pregnant. Endometriosis can start at a person’s first menstrual period and last until menopause. It affects approximately about 176 million women worldwide. Studies have showed that one in 10 girls has endometriosis. It is a major cause of infertility and there is currently no cure for it but there are treatments available to manage the symptoms.

Nordica Fertility Centre, through the Endometriosis Support Group of Nigeria (ESGN), has been at the forefront of educating the masses and creating awareness mostly among young girls about the challenges of Endometriosis. Part of this awareness is organising annual essay competition among schools.

This year’s competition is the 7th Edition tagged: “ESGN 2023 Essay Competiton: Secondary School Category.” For this year’s event, 94 entries were received from schools all across the nation.

The convener of the competition and the MD/CEO, Nordica Fertility Centre, Dr Abayomi Ajayi, at the Prize giving/Award presentation to winners of the competition, in Lagos, said whatever affects women, also affects the family and ultimately the society at large.

While regretting that there is no present cure, he posited that the condition can be better managed with treatments if detected early to prevent infertility in the future.

On reason for the competition, the fertility expert said the main goal of the competition was to create awareness on endometriosis among young girls, adding that the expectations from this year’s competition was met as judging from the writeups of the participants and winners of the competition, they have all gained additional knowledge which can positively impact lives when shared.
