Before diagnosing endometriosis, women often hear: It’s just menstrual pain. You shouldn’t act like that. A few pains, that’s quite normal. Those affected have often been suffering from pain for many years, which regularly makes their everyday life, their work and also their love life impossible. Because the disease, in which the lining of the uterus spreads throughout the abdomen and bleeds monthly with the woman’s cycle, is diagnosed late in many cases.
Sylvia Mechsner is the head of the Endometriosis Center at the Berlin Charité. In the podcast she explains what therapy options there are, what partners can do and why our health system ensures that women often have to suffer longer than necessary.
“Embarrassing – doesn’t exist” is the podcast that breaks body taboos.
Compulsions, buttocks hygiene, pain during sex – these are topics that hardly anyone likes to talk about openly. Knowledge editor Clara Ott wants to change that. In her podcast “Embarrassing – doesn’t exist” she asks experts, doctors and psychologists the questions that many do not dare to ask. Because silence is often worse than shame.
Embarrassing questions that Clara Ott should ask experts in the podcast are welcome to clara.ott@welt.de.
