Free Waikato Seminar on Fertility Treatment Options
Waikato women facing Fertility problems will benefit from a free seminar with guest speaker Dr Kirsty Gendall on
“Fertility Treatment Options” on Wednesday 28 May. The meeting hosted by local charity Insight Endometriosis will be
held at CCS Disability Action, 17 Claudelands Road, Hamilton, from 7pm.
The free seminar is part of an education programme offered by Insight Endometriosis, a community organisation supporting
women with endometriosis.
Insight Endometriosis educator Annette Evans, said “A special invitation is extended to women of all ages and couples
facing fertility problems as well as health professionals with an interest in fertility treatments.”
Endometriosis is a significant and common condition, which is a leading cause of fertility problems and can dramatically
impair quality of life.
Annette said “Many women are diagnosed as a result of fertility investigations yet experienced period pain for often
half a lifetime. Women and teen girls need to seek help when period pain first affects their lifestyle. Their GP can
refer them to a gynaecologist specialising in endometriosis, or they can self-refer to a gynaecologist in private
practice.”
‘Insight Endometriosis supports women to make informed decisions about treatment options and lifestyle changes, and
ensures that women and their families aren’t left facing a significant health problem in isolation’, she said.
Insight Endometriosis extends a huge thank you to Dr Kirsty Gendall for so generously giving of her time and expertise.
Thanks also to CCS Disability Action for providing the venue.
