Up to 50 per cent of women experience it in their lifetime and the consequences can be devastating, yet few people talk about it.

This Endometriosis Awareness Month, we're putting a spotlight on the work of our Mercy Hospital for Women (MHW) researchers.

Endometriosis is often associated with persistent pelvic pain (PPP), however, at least one third of patients who undergo diagnostic surgery (laparoscopy) for PPP will not have endometriosis.

MHW researchers Dr Sam Mooney and Dr Kate Stone have launched a project to develop an 'endometriosis calculator' to improve our understanding of which patients may benefit from surgery.

Birth injuries are something we treat frequently in our clinic and this year they are the focus of Birth Trauma Awareness Week.

Below is a repost from .org.au with a preview of their Birth Injuries Survey report. Check out their page for more info and to see the important work that the Australasian Birth Trauma Association does. We look forward to reading the full report soon ❤️

…

Birth injuries are physical injuries experienced during childbirth. They can include vaginal/perineal tears (of any degree), pelvic floor muscle damage, infected stitches, infection of the womb lining (uterus), fistula (formulation), wound dehiscence, hysterectomy, bladder damage, blood clot/s, prolapse, pudendal neuralgia, coccydynia (refers to any type of persistent tailbone pain), bone injuries (such as fractured coccyx) and other injuries not otherwise categorised that may have been experienced.
​
​We recognise that birth injuries can impact women, the birthing person or the baby.
​
​⚠️ ​We will be releasing our physical birth injuries report very soon⚠️
​
​We invited respondents of our Birth Injuries Survey to select from a list of 18 injury types including an open category, "other" - in which they could specify injuries not otherwise described. More than one selection could be made.
​
​The top three most common reported injuries were;

- 3rd or 4th-degree tears
- Prolapse
- Infected stitches
​
There were many other types of injuries described in our survey, but our aim here is to highlight the often hidden reality many women and birthing people face after childbirth and encourage further research in this area.

Nervous about attending appointments with all the bugs going around this winter season?

We have lots of precautions in place to keep you safe when attending the clinic.

Our favourite additions this winter are the HEPA air purifiers in each treatment room and at reception!

Combined with our rigorous cleaning between patients and masks for everyone in the clinic, we have maximised our COVID (and flu and all germs) safety in clinic!

Give reception a call on 96873040 if you have any questions!

Just had to repost this one from . Now you can support medical research into gynaecological cancers and endometriosis AND look great while doing it, all while shopping in our local inner west at or online 🙌

Read on for the full post:

For 12 years (before the inception of ) Dr. Loz was a medical researcher investigating the factors that were thought to contribute to cancer chemotherapy resistance.

Since moving on from research and focussing on communicating science to kids, Dr. Loz has missed the lab. She wanted to find a way to still contribute and to improve the understanding on factors that contribute to the development of cancer and how to treat it.

By designing, creating and selling these earrings and giving a portion of the profit back to medical research, Dr. Loz has been able to keep following her passion to improve the quality of life of people touched by cancer.

This amazing area of the female body is unfortunately host to gynaecological cancers, which account for 10% of all female-cancer related deaths in Australia. Endometrial cancer, also called cancer of the uterus, is the most diagnosed gynaecological cancer in Australia.

The other aim of these earrings is to start a conversation about Endometriosis. More than 730,000 (more than 10%) of Australian women suffer, often in silence, with endometriosis at some point in their life. These women are regularly dismissed by their medical professionals, family and peers who often don't appreciate how debilitating this condition can be.
These earrings have also resulted in starting many conversations about “our body, our rights”. Wearing these earrings you are loudly and proudly bringing these conversations into the open. By buying these earrings you are contributing funds to undertake research that aims to improve our understanding of these conditions, how they originate and progress, so that we can improve the outcomes for all who are impacted.

Welcome to the clinic our newest team member - our fabulous ultrasound machine!

What do we use it for?

Pelvic floor assessments:
If you are someone who isn't comfortable with internal exams, we can assess your pelvic floor via transabdominal ultrasound. Similar to when you have your baby scanned in pregnancy, we can use the ultrasound head on your lower abdomen to assess your pelvic floor activation!

Deep abdominal muscle assessments:
If you have been told you have a separation and need to work on your core strength, we can use the scanner to give you a visual of which muscles you need to get firing and how best to activate them!

Bladder emptying:
As part of our continence work, we can use the machine to assess your bladder. If you are suffering from altered bladder sensation after surgery, we can scan during your session to check if your bladder empties efficiently.
