Free Seminar: 'Fertility & Treatment Options'

Free Seminar: 'Fertility & Treatment Options' - Wed 25 May 2016'

Waikato women and their partners will benefit from a presentation by well-respected local fertility expert Dr Kirsty Gendall titled “Fertility & Treatment Options” on Wednesday 25 May. The meeting will be held at CCS Disability Action, 17 Claudelands Road, Hamilton, from 7pm.

The free seminar is part of an education programme offered by Insight Endometriosis, a community organisation supporting women with endometriosis.

Insight Endometriosis educator Annette Evans, said “Endometriosis is a leading cause of fertility problems in NZ - about 40% of female patients who seek help at Fertility Associates due to this significant condition.

‘Kirsty is a knowledgeable and engaging speaker and this will be a useful seminar for women and their partners to attend. While targeting those with endometriosis, much of the content will be relevant for anyone facing fertility issues."

Endometriosis is a significant and common condition, which can dramatically impair quality of life.

The most common symptom is period pain, characterised by taking pain relief, bed rest and time off work or studies.

Annette said "Insight Endometriosis supports women to make informed decisions about treatment options and lifestyle changes, and ensures that women and their families aren’t left facing a significant health problem in isolation".

Insight Endometriosis extends a special thanks to CCS Disability Action for providing the venue.
