#78 Introduction to menstrual health and pelvic pain

In this episode, Tessa speaks with one of SHV doctors, Dr Fiona, about menstrual health and pelvic pain. They discuss why people might get period or pelvic pain, what falls outside of “normal” for periods, and Tessa describes SHV’s Menstrual Health and Pelvic Pain program, funded by the Victorian Department of Health.
