Endometriosis: What do women have to put up with, and how can they cope with it?

Severe pain during menstruation and non-specific symptoms: it often takes years before endometriosis is diagnosed. Yet around one in ten women aged between 20 and 40 suffer from this gynaecological condition, in which the lining of the womb grows outside the womb. The talk will explore how the condition manifests itself and which current treatment options can help affected women.

Speakers:

• Senior Consultant Dr Valentina Auletta, Coordinator of the Endometriosis Centre
• Dr Anne Schirrmeister, specialist in anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine, and
• Anna Lena Kosmeier, Specialist at the Institute for Physical and Rehabilitative Medicine
