Endometriosis is a benign yet progressive disease of woman’s lower abdomen which only rarely kills but can cause crippling pain and childlessness – sometimes severely affecting her quality of life. Ironically, awareness about this disease, even among the medical fraternity and not to say of common people, is less than optimal.
Upon this background, Endometriosis Society India has been established in 2003 under the leadership of Dr. B.N Chakravarty and Mr. Pramathes Das Mahapatra with their five other colleagues. It is a voluntary, non-profit organisation presently with about 150 members from all over India.
