Living with Endometriosis | Health Watch
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month, and the BVI Health Services Authority continues its commitment to raising awareness about this often misunderstood condition affecting women, and even teenagers, across our community. As part of our ongoing awareness campaign, this Health Watch episode builds on the important conversations already started. We hear from Dr. Neveta Sutherland-Vaccianna alongside Miss BVI 2024, Adacia Adonis, who is living with endometriosis and using her platform to advocate for greater understanding and support.
Together, they share valuable insights on the signs and symptoms, the importance of early diagnosis, and why painful periods should never be ignored.
If you experience severe pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or ongoing discomfort, we encourage you to speak with a BVIHSA healthcare professional.
That pain is not normal. Early detection and care can make a difference.
Join us in showing your support by wearing yellow on Friday, March 27.
