Course description
This course will provide a comprehensive overview of adenomyosis, endometriosis, fibroids, Müllerian anomalies, and endometrial disorders in adolescents and young adults. Through an evidence-based and multidisciplinary approach, internationally recognised experts will discuss early diagnosis, imaging, reproductive implications, fertility preservation, and long-term health consequences. The course will also address the challenges and controversies surrounding early disease recognition, including the balance between timely diagnosis and the risk of overmedicalisation.

Educational needs and expected outcomes 
Adolescents and young adults with adenomyosis, endometriosis, and related endometrial disorders often experience significant diagnostic delays, insufficient awareness, and inconsistent management strategies. There is a growing need for healthcare professionals to improve recognition of symptoms, optimise the use of imaging tools, understand the reproductive implications of these conditions, and provide patient-centred counselling regarding fertility and future health.

At the end of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Recognise the early clinical and imaging manifestations of adenomyosis, endometriosis, fibroids, Müllerian anomalies, and endometrial disorders in young patients
  • Understand the potential benefits and limitations of early diagnosis
  • Discuss fertility preservation strategies and reproductive counselling in adolescents and young adults
  • Apply a multidisciplinary and evidence-based approach to the management of these disorders 
  • Improve communication and shared decision-making with young patients and their families


Innovative aspects of the course
This course adopts a life-course approach to adenomyosis, endometriosis, and endometrial disorders, focusing specifically on adolescents and young adults — a population often underrepresented in educational programmes. It combines advances in imaging, reproductive medicine, surgery, and patient-centred care, while also addressing the emerging debate on early diagnosis versus overmedicalisation. The programme brings together leading international experts to provide an integrated and highly interactive educational experience.
