Adenomyosis: Hard to diagnose. Difficult to treat.
Does it really matter?

London, Friday 14th October 2011

Organisers: Mr. Ertan Saridogan and Mr. Davor Jurkovic

 

Adenomyosis is one of the commonest gynecological conditions and yet little is known about its causes and its effects on women’s health. We gathered a group of distinguished experts in this area and asked them to try to address these difficult issues during a one day workshop. The meeting was aimed at gynecologists, fertility specialists and other health professionals who are providing care to women presenting with gynecological problems.
