Focus on endometriosis: Help and healing for affected women in the Murtal

endometriosis is an issue that is increasingly becoming public awareness. This disease, which affects every tenth woman of childbearing age, causes enormous symptoms among many of those affected and is far from being sufficiently researched. In many cases, women not only suffer from severe pain, but also from a massive psychological stress because their symptoms are often not taken seriously.

In the Murtal, increasing attention to endometriosis has now led to practical support offers. Müller, physiotherapist from the region, confirms that the treatment of endometriosis should be designed individually in order to meet the specific needs of the patients. "It is important to combine different therapy approaches to facilitate the everyday life of those affected," she says.

reports from those affected

A person concerned who wants to remain anonymous told her story. "Sometimes I just can't and have to withdraw", she describes the physical and emotional effects of her illness. Many women report similar experiences: strong, cramp -like pain in the lower abdomen, often accompanied by nausea or even vomiting. These symptoms can drastically impair the quality of life and reduce the opportunities to actively participate in everyday life.

While some women get the diagnosis relatively quickly, others fight for years before they are taken seriously. "People often think that you are silky. This is a serious illness," emphasizes the person concerned, addressing a widespread problem: the lack of understanding of the environment.

Pain relief remains a big challenge. Although there are medical options ranging from pain relievers to hormonal contraceptives, complete healing remains unattainable. Sometimes surgical interventions are necessary to remove the endometriosis stoves, but new herds can even arise after surgery.

self -help groups and education

Enlightenment about endometriosis is another key to improving the situation for affected women. As part of the district tour of the Styria Health Fund, new self -help groups were founded that promote the exchange and mutual support. A new group in the Murau district should encourage women to network and share experiences.

In addition, the REHA Center Bad Aussee has expanded its offer to include special programs for endometriosis patients. These efforts aim to raise awareness of the disease and to facilitate access to diagnosis and treatment. Information and speech are crucial to give those affected the courage, to search for help and to talk about their illness.

For those who are affected, it is to be hoped that further support and clarification will be provided quickly. Interested parties can find the current status regarding treatments and group offers. www.meinbezirk.at .
