Mackay Hospital and Health Service (HHS) will host EndoMarch next week, a public
engagement event to raise awareness and understanding of endometriosis.
Those attending will have the opportunity to meet the Mackay Endometriosis and
Pelvic Pain Service team, learn more about endometriosis and ask questions in a
relaxed and informal setting.
The morning event will begin with a 30-minute presentation by Mackay HHS
Obstetrics & Gynaecology Specialist Dr Wojciech Szubert.
Morning tea and informal discussion will follow.
“Endometriosis is a chronic disease affecting women and girls,” Dr Szubert said.
“It is associated with pelvic pain, pain with intercourse, painful urination or defecation,
heavy and painful periods, and infertility.
“It can have a significant impact on women’s health and lives, and it has been
estimated that it can take six years to get a confirmed diagnosis.
“At this event, we want to provide women with an opportunity to meet our Mackay
Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain team who work together here at Mackay Base Hospital
to find the best treatment options.
“This is a relaxed and informal event and those attending can join us for some
morning tea and ask any questions they have about this condition.”
The EndoMarch public awareness event will be held from 9.30am – 11am on Friday,
28 March, in the Brampton Room of the Mackay Base Hospital’s Education and
Training building, next to the Emergency Department.
This is a free event and anyone who is interested in learning more about
Endometriosis is welcome to attend.
