March is Myeloma Action Month – Understanding the Connection to Endometriosis, PCOS, and Adenomyosis

As we recognize Myeloma Action Month this March, Peach Corp is raising awareness about multiple myeloma while also highlighting its potential links to chronic gynecological conditions like Endometriosis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), and Adenomyosis. While these conditions may seem unrelated, research suggests that immune system dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and hormonal imbalances—common factors in these conditions—may influence overall health, including cancer risks.

In this month of March, we are committed to educating, empowering, and supporting those affected by these conditions, ensuring that women’s health remains a priority in the fight against multiple myeloma and other chronic illnesses.

What is Multiple Myeloma?

Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. These cells play a crucial role in the immune system, helping the body fight infections. When myeloma develops, it disrupts the production of normal blood cells, leading to weakened immunity, bone damage, and other severe health complications.

Key Symptoms of Myeloma Include:
✅ Unexplained bone pain (especially in the back or ribs)
✅ Frequent infections or weakened immune response
✅ Fatigue and weakness
✅ Anemia (low red blood cell count)
✅ Kidney problems

While myeloma primarily affects older adults, raising awareness about early detection, risk factors, and overall immune health is essential for all.

The Connection to Endometriosis, PCOS, and Adenomyosis

Though research is still ongoing, there are key overlapping factors between multiple myeloma and these gynecological conditions:

1. Chronic Inflammation & Immune Dysfunction

Women with endometriosis and adenomyosis often experience chronic inflammation, which can impact immune function. Since multiple myeloma affects the immune system, it’s crucial to manage inflammation through lifestyle changes, medical treatments, and early detection strategies.

2. Hormonal Imbalances in PCOS & Cancer Risks

PCOS is known for high levels of androgens and insulin resistance, which may contribute to increased cancer risks over time. While research on direct links to myeloma is limited, managing hormonal balance can play a role in reducing overall health risks.

3. Bone Health Concerns

Multiple myeloma often leads to bone deterioration, while endometriosis, PCOS, and adenomyosis can contribute to osteoporosis risks due to hormonal fluctuations. Maintaining calcium, vitamin D, and weight-bearing exercises can support long-term bone health.

How You Can Take Action This Myeloma Action Month

🔹 Stay Proactive with Your Health – If you are managing endometriosis, PCOS, or adenomyosis, discuss your overall immune and bone health with your doctor. Early screenings and preventive care are crucial.

🔹 Educate & Advocate – Share information about multiple myeloma and gynecological health with your community. Awareness is key to early detection and better health outcomes.

🔹 Support the Cause – Your contributions allow Peach Corp to continue providing educational workshops, support groups, and advocacy for women’s health.‍
