Message from the President

It is a great honor and pleasure to issue this message to the website of our society, which has recently undergone a refurbishment. I thank our President-Elect, Professor Alexander Popov, for undertaking this task.

The ASEA comprises twenty countries that account for 52% of the world's population. We could deduce that the disease burden of endometriosis in ASEA is greater than the rest of the world combined. In addition to this, data show that Asian women have higher odds of being diagnosed with adenomyosis than their Caucasian counterparts. Our Society could do much to improve understanding of these two enigmatic diseases and to alleviate the suffering and morbidity they cause.

There is every indication that the ASEA is vibrant, and it is living up to this promise. We are a powerhouse in endometriosis research, and our member states are active in raising public awareness and encouraging research among their colleagues. We hold our conferences annually, whereas most other regional and global conferences are held biennially.

This website gives a glimpse of the activities of our member countries.

I wish the ASEA the strength to pursue its mission to improve outcomes of endometriosis and adenomyosis by contributing to global knowledge and building capacity in the region.

Message from the President select

Dear friends and colleagues!

It is a great honour for me to serve as President select of the Asian Society of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis (ASEA). Thanks to the efforts of our Board members, our Society today stands as an example of collaboration among professionals from different countries. I am proud of what we have achieved together in recent years.

The Society's membership has expanded with the admission of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. We have built close ties with other professional organisations in the field of endometriosis (EEL, SEUD, WES).

We have two years ahead of us and I hope they will be very successful for all of us. Let us make ASEA a model of professional fellowship!
