Endometriosis is a condition in which the lining of the uterus grows abnormally. This results in medical issues arising in the female reproductive system during the menstrual cycle when the lining shed monthly does not exit the body correctly.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As part of the GiveGoa initiative, seven students attached to the service learning and immersion course offered at the Institute namely Divya Singh, Jane Thomas, Aastha Asati, Lokesh Aswani, Asmita D, Piyush Balasaheb Dawkar and Sumanshu Aggarwal, created an informative presentation to students about the chronic and painful gynaecological condition and its implications.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe sessions began by gauging the college students\u2019 basic understanding of endometriosis, followed by a brief presentation by our students and a subsequent interactive session with the audience. The same set of questions asked at the sessions\u2019 beginning was reiterated to note if the points made during the presentation were understood,\u201d said Dr Supriya Phadnis, faculty, GIM, who works in the field of endometriosis.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The awareness programme took place at the Institute of Hotel Management, Porvorim; Sridora Caculo College, Mapusa; Goa College of Home Science, Panaji; Goa College of Engineering, Ponda; Don Bosco College, Panaji; ITI Farmagudi, Veling; ITI Honda Sattari, Honda; P.E.S College of Arts and Science, Ponda; Ravi S. Naik College, Ponda; Agnel Institute of Technology and Design, Mapusa; Chowgule College, Margao; St. Xaviers College, Mapusa and Goa College of Pharmacy, Panaji.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cGenerating awareness about endometriosis among the general public is the first step towards creating an inclusive society where diagnosis, treatment and living a good life are easy. The campaign successfully educated over 500 students about this painful chronic condition that is frequently misdiagnosed,\u201d stated Dr Rohit Mutkekar, faculty, GIM, who provided mentorship throughout the programme.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
