المملكة: To reduce its complications…a besiegement campaign "Migrating endothelium" Which affects 10% of women
The Executive Director of King Fahd University Hospital in Al-Khobar, affiliated with Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University, Dr. Abdullah Yousef, opened the “Beyond Endometriosis” awareness campaign
She explained that the disease is represented by the presence of endometrial cells outside their natural cavity, indicating that they move to the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or the pelvic area, and may rarely reach other organs.
Symptoms and the most important treatment options
She indicated that Symptomsvary from complete absence to severe pain, noting that approximately 10% of cases of delayed pregnancy are directly due to endometriosis.
She pointed out that prevention is currently impossible because the causes are not precisely known, stressing that early diagnosis limits adhesions and the formation of cysts, especially for the age group from the twenties to the forties.
She added that treatment options are available to alleviate the symptoms, calling on women to see a doctor when they feel the same. With abnormal symptoms to ensure early intervention and avoid any health complications.
Disease Awareness
For her part, the consultant in obstetrics and gynecology at King Fahad University Hospital, Dr. Kamelia Al Obaid, confirmed that the campaign targets women from 18 to 45 years, with an intense focus on the group most at risk of infection between 25 and 35 years.
She pointed out that the global infection rate is estimated at about 10% of women, explaining that the similarity of symptoms to other gynecological diseases makes diagnosis a medical challenge that requires community awareness.
She stated that the event includes five specialized awareness corners, starting with definition, diagnosis, and review of treatments, all the way to a consulting corner that includes specialized doctors to provide direct guidance to patients to help them reach the treatment plan.
Correct concepts. Common
In turn, Student Club Leader Renad Al Rabh stated that the initiative seeks to correct common notions, warning against the rule that “not all pain during the menstrual cycle is normal,” as it may be an indication of a problem that requires examination.
The campaign includes five integrated awareness pillars, starting with an introductory corner that explains what the disease is, followed by a corner dedicated to the symptoms that infected women may suffer from, then a corner that highlights diagnostic methods, in addition to a corner that explains treatment and support options, leading to the “Consult Your Doctor” corner that allows female visitors to ask their questions to specialized resident doctors.
She concluded by noting that the campaign targets all segments of society, including men, to enhance family support. For injured women, stressing the importance of student initiatives in spreading health culture and improving the quality of life.
