🎗 March is Endometriosis Awareness Month

This month, Endometriosis Australia aims to improve awareness and provide education on the diagnosis and treatment of Endometriosis throughout the entire month - and beyond. The crippling condition affects one in nine women in Australia, impacting their relationships, capacity to work and study, physical health, and mental wellbeing.

Many women think that painful periods are normal and don't seek help.

Symptoms can include fatigue, pain on or around your period and ovulation, pain with bowel movements or heavy or irregular bleeding.

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms and are concerned, you can speak with your GP.
