Cheers to this initiative for trying to nip endometriosis in the bud. It is high time that this was introduced to the younger generation. Let’s hope other countries follow suit.
Canberra schoolgirls will follow a new method - described as the first of its type - to identify those who suffer from a debilitating condition that can cause infertility.
Melissa Parker, of the Canberra Endometriosis Clinic, says work is under way on a “self-screening tool” - a checklist - that will soon be tested among teenage girls.Health Minister Katy Gallagher said the ACT was “leading the world” in developing the approach, which could indicate whether young women had endometriosis.
The idea came after Ms Parker and gynaecologist Anne Sneddon studied menstrual disorders among more than 1000 females aged 16 to 18 years living in the ACT.
