PPEP Talk Endometriosis Workshop

All students were invited to participate in the PEPP Talk workshop, on Wednesday Week 2 to explore all things Periods, Pain and Endometriosis.

Students learnt a lot about the anatomy, biology and the chemistry behind medications and processes in the body accompanied by education on hormones, ovulation, symptoms, strategies, exercises and treatments, plus some nutrition and diet recommendations.

Importantly, the students participated in some very important myth busting about periods, pain and endometriosis and can now share this new knowledge with their peers.

The take home messages of the workshop included maintaining a balance between physical, social and psychological health and wellbeing when it comes to managing period pain.

Thank you to the Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia for visiting the ASMS and speaking to our students.
