Dear INPS members and friends!

You are invited to an educational presentation - "Endometriosis: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis, and Management."

Non-member NPs are welcome, so please invite a friend.

Endometriosis affects ~10% of women, yet patients experience a delay in diagnosis of 4-11 years. We will discuss this complex condition, its impact on women's health, and the available strategies for management.

Key Topics to be Covered:

  • What is Endometriosis? An overview of pathophysiology, prevalence, and risk factors
  • Recognizing the Symptoms: Identifying signs and symptoms
  • Diagnosis Methods: An overview of diagnostic techniques, including laparoscopy and imaging.
  • Treatment Options: Exploring both medical and surgical approaches to manage endometriosis effectively.

The presentation is open to APPs interested in learning more about endometriosis. To reserve your seat, please respond to Julie Shaw @ nerep@iowanpsociety.org

Looking forward to seeing you at the presentation!
