Glynis Wallace
Do you and your daughters, sisters and friends know how to spot the warning signs of menstruation-related lung endometriosis and lung collapse? If you experience shortness of breath, have chest pain, or cough up or taste blood during your period, you could be at risk forcatamenial pneumothorax, a complication of endometriosis that can be fatal.
"Menstruation-related lung collapse due to lung endometriosis is one of the most under-diagnosed diseases in the US, and women and doctors who shrug off endometriosis because 'it won't kill you' are gambling with women's health and lives," says women's health advocate Glynis D. Wallace, DMD (Doctor of Medical Dentistry), a former US Air Force major and catamenial pneumothorax survivor.
"This condition is hormone-driven, so it can affect girls even before puberty and women even after menopause," says Dr. Wallace, who adds that it occurs when uterine endometrial tissue travels to the lungs, where it can cause bleeding and life-threatening lung collapse. "Awareness is rapidly growing," she adds, "since more than 176 million women worldwide suffer from endometriosis and thus are at risk of possible lung complications."
An international authority, Dr. Wallace is a survivor of this potentially fatal disease and author of the first book to sound the alarm, Living with Lung and Colon Endometriosis: Catamenial Pneumothorax. She created the first Wikipedia page on this condition, and as a result of her untiring efforts to publicize this threat, it's now included in medical reference books, and her work is cited by medical professionals worldwide.
In her riveting presentations, Dr. Wallace draws on her own dramatic experience with this condition to educate both lay and medical audiences and empower them with lifesaving facts and strategies that can make the difference between being a victim or a survivor. Your group will learn:
- Early warning signs that signal you should see your doctor
- Symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of this condition
- Why teenage girls and women who have chest pain, shortness of breath, or cough up or taste blood during menstruation should be diagnosed as soon as possible to prevent life-threatening complications.
- How medical strategies combined with diet, faith, and spirituality can work together to
- How to heal this life-threatening condition that currently has no cure.
You'll leave Dr. Wallace's dynamic presentation armed with the facts you need to make sure that you and your friends and loved ones can spot this menstruation-related—and potentially deadly—disease in time to save your lives.
