“The second honorary member who actively supports the association is Marie-Rose Galès!”
Marie-Rose Galès is an expert patient in endometriosis!
She has made her suffering a strength in order to help other patients to become actors in their medical journey by publishing 3 books (which we warmly recommend!):
Endo&Sexo: having a fulfilling sexuality with endometriosis
This book is intended for all patients who wish to understand the origin of their pain during sexual intercourse (dyspaneuria) and how to act on this symptom!
Endometriosis what other countries have to teach us
This book is a huge compendium of knowledge from around the world! The objective is to understand in detail why France is behind in the management of endometriosis and also to transmit sourced information to patients!
Endometriosis ask your questions
The latest book by Marie-Rose Galès, it transmits information to teenagers by answering 20 key questions! We are quoted in this book as a reference association because we share a common vision!
She is also the creator of the podcast “Endometriosis my love” which aims to inform patients with, as a little extra, a narration with a very pleasant humorous note! His social networks:
