June 4, 2026
June is Lipoedema Awareness Month, and an estimated 11% to 19% of the female population have it. It is frequently misdiagnosed by medical practitioners due to the lack of awareness and education of the chronic disease, and as a result a lot of women don't know they have it.
The aim is to help inform women that don't know they have lipoedema, and to support women who do have it, whilst educating healthcare practitioners on the chronic disease to diagnose it better and quickly.
