A wellness workshop on endometriosis will be taking place in Milton to help women understand and manage this common women’s health issue. If you experience this painful and challenging condition, you could benefit from joining the event with specialist naturopath Katherine Maslen.
Taking place at the Brisbane Natural Health on Baroona Road, the Endometriosis Workshop will run from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, the 13th of June 2019. Members of the clinic can join the workshop for free but a $25 admission fee for non-members will be collected.
Ms Maslen will discuss proper diet and foods to avoid to manage endometriosis. She will also talk about the benefits of natural therapies to help with this condition as well as outline the options available for women.
According to Endometriosis Australia, some 730,000 Australian women experience endometriosis once their reproductive years begin. Diagnosis and treatments are often delayed by as much as 12 years since most women aren’t aware of the symptoms.
Endometriosis may be the reason for a woman’s painful menstrual cycle, excessive bleeding, pain during intercourse, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ovarian cysts. The symptoms vary per women and might sometimes be confused as part of the menstrual cycle. When left untreated or unmanaged, endometriosis could lead to complications like infertility issues or cancer.
