Online Webcast Teaches Physicians About Endometriosis.  This webcast will discuss Endometriosis.  Learners will better understand the pathophysiology of endometriosis and become comfortable with first and second line medical management of the condition.

In truth, Endometriosis is very common, affecting nearly 200 million women of reproductive age worldwide. Many women that you know may have it. Famous individuals such as Dolly Parton, Marilyn Monroe, and Whoopi Goldberg have all been public with their struggles. It impacts not just gynecologic functions such as menstruation and fertility but also bowel and bladder function and even mental health. Endometriosis has not only significant health impacts but also social and economic implications such as missed school or work.

To educate us on this invisible illness, we’ve invited one of Ohio State University’s OBGYN experts. We’re pleased to introduce Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology Dr. Meenal Misal. Clinically, Meenal treats women with endometriosis, fibroids, dysmenorrhea, and pelvic pain. Her research centers on improving quality of life for these patients. Meenal will take us through the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of endometriosis.
