With so much left unknown about this chronic disease, many opt to turn to various media outlets as aid to accurately inform publics objectively based on the analysis of scientific data.

In some cases, media can be very informative as is the case for Holowka’s (2021) work. Holowka in her article: “What is Endometriosis? Patients turn to social media for information and support” Holowka (2021) points out that many women after being misdiagnosed or disregarded often turn to social media to find a community of women undergoing the same circumstance. However, Holowka (2021) also cautions that social media is riddled with misinformation which can be very dangerous.

With the media landscape being so easily accessible to everyone, it is difficult to distinguish fact from fiction. Despite this, Endo Matters is a space where the latest news and innovations are published and accessible to all of our lovely members!
