For 15 years, Katrina Moore experienced debilitating pain that at times left her unable to walk but was dismissed by doctors as being a symptom of stress. The actual cause was endometriosis, a condition that affects more than one million Australian women and girls. Endometriosis is a disease where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it, causing severe pain in the pelvis, bowel and bladder. It can also cause infertility.
” Albert Jung is a leading gynaecologist at Brisbane’s Mater Private Hospital who treated Ms Moore. He has treated 40 women with the injections to alleviate endometriosis-related pain. Mater patients are injected with Dysport, a brand similar to but cheaper than Botox. Both contain botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyses muscles and helps ease pain.
