Endometriosis affects at least 1 in 9 females and those assigned female at birth in Australia.

Endometriosis is a painful chronic condition that can be hard to diagnose.

Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus. It most commonly occurs in the pelvis and can affect reproductive organs.

While it can be painful and debilitating, there are effective treatments that may relieve symptoms.
If you are experiencing symptoms, speak to your doctor.

Did you know that cervical screening has a do-it-yourself option?

The cervical screening test detects human papillomavirus (HPV) before it has the chance to develop into abnormal or cancerous cells. Staying up to date with your screenings is one of the best ways to prevent cancer of the cervix.

If you have a cervix, are aged 25 years or older and have had any type of sexual contact, you should have a cervical screening test every five years.

You can either collect your own cells from your va**na, in private, using a long-handled cotton swab or have a healthcare provider collect the sample for you.

Ask your healthcare provider whether self-collection for cervical screening is right for you.

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month 🎗️

Ovarian cancer does not always have obvious signs or symptoms. There is currently no national screening program available in Australia, so it is important to be aware of and pay attention to changes in your body.

Trust your instincts. Listen to your body. Speak to your doctor if you've noticed symptoms that are unusual for you or don't go away.
