Thirst for Knowledge: Understanding Endometriosis

Endometriosis / Mate kirikōpū is a common, inflammatory disease that causes severe menstrual period pain, chronic pelvic pain and infertility.

Associate Professor Jane Girling from the Department of Anatomy at the University of Otago will discuss the work that is being done internationally to find better diagnostics and treatments, and to determine just what causes endometriosis.
