Dr Fathea Bani, a Specialist at the Tamale Teaching Hospital, has said 200 million women were affected by Endometriosis globally.<\/p>\n
She said Endometriosis is a condition where the endometrial tissue is found elsewhere in the body especially in the abdominal cavity, in the liver, lungs and the brain.<\/p>\n
Dr Bani said this during a health talk organised by the Endometriosis Foundation Ghana (EFG) in Tamale to create awareness on the condition.<\/p>\n
She said the disease usually led to pelvic pains often associated with menstruation during the reproductive years of women.<\/p>\n
Dr Bani said Endometriosis was not a Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) and it could be diagnosed based on the medical history of the victim.<\/p>\n
She said the main procedure, however, for diagnosing Endometriosis was the Laporascopy, which is a small surgical procedure using a camera attached to a probe to investigate the pelvic cavity for endometrial tissues.<\/p>\n
Dr Bani said there is no known way to prevent the disease, which can happen to any young woman.<\/p>\n
Madam Fareeda Serwaa Brobby, the Founder of Endometriosis Foundation Ghana, urged women who experienced any of the stated symptoms to seek medical attention from gynaecologists.<\/p>\n
