Focus on Holistic Therapy Concepts
Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases: estimates suggest that about one in ten women of childbearing age is affected. Nevertheless, it often takes years to reach a reliable diagnosis. The chronic condition, in which tissue similar to the uterine lining settles outside the uterus, causes severe, often chronic pain for many patients and can massively impair quality of life and fertility.
At the evening lecture at UKJ, experts from the fields of gynecology, pain medicine, and rehabilitation will provide comprehensive information on current medical findings. A particular focus is on multimodal therapy approaches. These combine classic medical treatments with accompanying measures such as targeted exercise and relaxation offers to provide those affected with noticeable relief in everyday life.
Education and Breaking Taboos
In addition to presenting medical options, the event also aims to contribute to social education. Since menstrual symptoms are still frequently trivialized, breaking the taboo surrounding chronic pelvic pain is an important concern for the specialists. The lecture is therefore explicitly aimed at patients and their relatives as well as those interested in medicine. Following the presentations, there will be an opportunity to ask the speakers questions.
