26% of girls in Australia miss school because of period pain. It’s as common a problem as asthma - yet not taken seriously. GP Carmel Reynolds describes how to take pelvic pain seriously in practice. Great model of care #ASPOG23

Culture and religion shape Middle Eastern women’s experience of period pain @aj_hawkey tells #ASPOG23 The menstrual taboo is still prevalent and influences women’s ability to seek support. Pain is normalised and women expected to soldier on. Great talk Alex

@aj_hawkey shows how menstrual taboos are still widespread, exist across cultures, and prevent women with period pain getting symptom relief. Societal-level education is KEY. @ASPOGau #aspog23

Always love hearing @shanlmorrison talk. It’s not surprising the brain is overly protective of the pelvis - it houses the most important bits of us (evolutionarily speaking)! 🌮 🍆 🩸 @ASPOGau #ASPOG23
