  • Women with menstrual disorders to receive earlier treatment thanks to major FEMCURE project
    Women with menstrual disorders to receive earlier treatment thanks to major FEMCURE project One in three women experiences menstrual problems due to conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids, or scarring in the uterus. Nevertheless, it often takes 8 to 11 years before they receive a clear diagnosis, and targeted treatments are lacking. The FEMCURE project, led by Professor of Gynaecology Judith Huirne, aims to drastically shorten the time to effective treatment. Researchers will develop self-tests that allow women to assess their symptoms at home. In addition, methods will be devised to help general practitioners and gynaecologists recognize these conditions more quickly. The researchers are also developing targeted therapies, ensuring that each woman receives the treatment most effective for her.
