A Complex Disease Process: Understanding Endometriosis to Improve Patient Care

November 6, 2024
3:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Zoom

Online Registration

On Wednesday, November 6, the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians will host a webinar on endometriosis, a chronic condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, causing inflammation and scar tissue in the pelvic area. This condition can significantly affect quality of life, leading to severe pelvic pain during menstrual periods, sexual intercourse, bowel movements, and urination. Endometriosis may also impact fertility and is often linked with symptoms like abdominal bloating, nausea, fatigue, and psychological effects such as depression and anxiety.

Join speaker Sarah Bonza, MD, MPH, FAAFP, DipABLM, NBC-HWC, to discover how to recognize, manage, and support those affected by endometriosis.
