MyEndometriosisTeam educates patients facing endometriosis with guidance for managing their health

MyHealthTeams today introduced an exclusive video Q&A with Dr. Georgine Lamvu to the more than 100,000 U.S. members of MyEndometriosisTeam, the largest social network for women diagnosed with endometriosis. The physician Q&A adds to the growing list of patient education initiatives rolled out by AbbVie and MyHealthTeams, including the Endometriosis Resource Center housed directly on MyEndometriosisTeam. Created in response to members' growing concerns about what they need to know and do in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the video addresses key topics including risk factors, strategies for best managing telehealth appointments, practical tips for mental health and wellness, and considerations around pregnancy. Many women who'd planned to have endometriosis-related surgeries have had their procedures delayed or cancelled during this time, and Dr. Lamvu provides guidance on alternative approaches to managing pain and suppressing flares. Dr. Lamvu is a gynecologic surgeon, pelvic pain specialist, and professor in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Central Florida.
