The Need for Awareness
This event was developed in response to a survey conducted with 3,000 women aged 16 to 49, highlighting the challenges faced regarding menstruation and gynecological visits. Surprisingly, 91% of respondents reported feeling some degree of discomfort due to menstrual issues. Furthermore, about 38% indicated that they usually just endure their pain without seeking help. The survey revealed that many women lacked clarity on when to see a gynecologist, illustrating the significant barriers these women face.
Overall, 'Renew Me! My Body Lab' aims to empower women to understand, learn, and identify their bodies' needs. The goal is to promote a healthy perspective on menstruation and to encourage individuals to consult with healthcare professionals about their experiences.
A Message from Dr. Song Mihyun
The event is overseen by Dr. Song Mihyun, a specialist in obstetrics and gynecology. Her message emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing menstrual discomfort instead of enduring it silently. Women should feel comfortable discussing their health concerns, and gynecologists should be considered accessible resources. Dr. Song aims for this event to serve as a stepping stone toward self-awareness, ultimately leading to more informed decisions regarding their health.
This initiative by Mochida Pharmaceutical signifies a crucial step in fostering dialogue about women's health issues, breaking down stigmas, and motivating individuals to seek help for menstrual pain and other related concerns. Join this enriching experience and be part of a community of women seeking empowerment and knowledge about their bodies!
