Like many women-specific conditions, pelvic congestion syndrome is often under-researched and misdiagnosed. Frequently mistaken for endometriosis, it affects 15% of women of childbearing age. 🙍♀️ This often overlooked yet distressing condition causes chronic pelvic-perineal pain due to blood pooling in the pelvic veins, also known as pelvic varicose veins. If you're suffering from chronic pelvic pain, don't hesitate to consult a healthcare professional—because it's real, and it's not just in your head!

Breast Cancer Doesn't Wait. Neither Should You. Your best protection? Early detection. It's not just a checkup—it's a lifesaver. Here’s what you can do to stay ahead: 👀 Pay Attention: Your body has a way of speaking. Changes in your breast’s size, shape, or texture could be whispers from within. Don’t ignore them. 📅 Make Time for Mammograms: Think of it as a power move for your health. When detected in its early, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate for breast cancer is 99%. 🦸♀️ Empower Yourself & Others: You’re not just taking care of your body, you’re leading by example. Share this message, remind your family & friends, and let’s normalize talking about #earlydetection.

A new McKinsey Health Institute survey reveals that for Gen Z, social media is a double-edged sword. While it often leads to feelings of FOMO (Fear of missing out) or poor body image, it also plays a vital role in promoting mental health support, self-expression, and social connectivity. 📱☺️ 💡 Key Findings: - Gen Z is more likely to use digital wellness apps and mental health programs than other generations. - Social media can act as a support network, especially for vulnerable groups like young refugees and asylum seekers. - Over 50% of respondents from all age groups cited social media as a tool for self-expression and connection. This highlights the need for collaboration between tech companies, mental health professionals, and policymakers to foster healthier online environments. 🧠At Tech4Eva, we also support innovative start-ups that are making a difference in the field of mental health through apps, and medical devices: Colette Ellis from Libbie Health Inc., Veronica Montesinos from Dana_positive maternal health, Edwige Guinet and Marten Strotkoetter from Fireflai and Joanna Ledunger and Roland Pfeuti from HEALTHY-LONGER GmbH. 💜 🔗 Read full article: https://hubs.li/Q02SVPV40 EPFL Innovation Park Groupe Mutuel #GenZ #MentalHealth #SocialMedia #Wellbeing #MentalHealthMatters
