The university community and the general public are invited to attend a seminar on endometriosis, a chronic condition that can have a profound impact on quality of life, psychological wellbeing and reproductive health.

The session will be led by Anjeza Xholli, senior consultant at the IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino and lecturer in gynaecological and obstetric ultrasound at the University of Genoa.

The seminar aims to promote greater awareness of the condition, encourage the recognition of symptoms and counter the tendency to regard severe pelvic pain as normal, which can contribute to a delayed diagnosis.

The initiative also provides an opportunity to reflect on the difficulties that endometriosis can cause in daily life, in study and at work, promoting a university environment that is more aware of and attentive to the needs of those living with this condition.

Further information is available in the university magazine.
