DESCRIPTION
Endometriosis Awareness Diploma
The medical condition known as Endometriosis affects about 2%-10% of women of a
particular age range- those who can conceive. It is a medical gynaecological
condition that is quite common. The etymological root of the term is
'endometrium', a name for the lining tissue of the uterus. The tissue known as
the endometrium builds up and gets thicker during a menstrual cycle. These
tissues shed and come out as part of period blood if the woman does not get
pregnant. When women have Endometriosis, tissues that look like endometrium
develop not inside but outside the uterus. These can be on other organs of the
reproductive system in the pelvic area or the woman's abdominal cavity. As the
menstrual cycle goes on and hormonal changes occur, these tissues respond to the
hormones every month. As endometrial tissues build up, they do too. This results
in bleeding in the pelvis, although in small amounts. This can cause
inflammation and swelling, and subsequent scarring in the normal tissues around
them. If the ovary is affected, a fibrous cyst known as a blood blister may be
formed, a condition known as endometrioma.
The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course has been developed to equip learners
with a clear understanding of this medical condition that affects a significant
percentage of women. The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course includes the
causes, symptoms, and how these symptoms show up. The course also consists of
the diagnosis and treatment of the condition.
The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course starts by discussing what exactly
Endometriosis is. This also provides general information about menstrual cycles.
There are different kinds of Endometriosis, which will be looked at along with
their causes, the signs and symptoms, their different stages, and the various
risk factors that come with the medical condition. Other topics, like the
diagnosis process, including the available methods and benefits, are also
covered in the Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course. The Endometriosis
Awareness Diploma course deepens into laparoscopy- the most common practice in
diagnosing Endometriosis.
Other treatments such as hormonal treatment and surgical processes for treating
inflammation or removing tumours caused by Endometriosis will also be discussed.
The Endometriosis Awareness Diploma course also provides basic knowledge
regarding analgesic treatment and treatments that use artificial hormones for
follicle stimulation, surgical procedures that help treat infertility, IVF
(In-Vitro Fertilization), intrauterine insemination, and Assisted Reproduction
Technology. These processes will be learnt in-depth along with their statistics
regarding success. Changes in diet that can be made to alleviate endometriosis
symptoms and yoga routines that can relieve the symptoms will also be looked at.
The course includes case studies to learn from real-life cases and better know
symptoms and treatments.
