Period Health, Pelvic Pain & Endometriosis: Knowing What’s Normal and When to Seek Help

VUSU, in collaboration with VU Wellbeing and VU’s health partner, Western Health, presents an informative and interactive session exploring period and menstrual health, pelvic pain and endometriosis.

We’ll discuss what is considered typical, when period pain or other symptoms may require further attention, and when it’s important to seek medical advice.

Our guest speaker, Dr Corinne Glenn from Western Health, will share her expertise on menstrual health, pelvic pain and endometriosis, followed by an opportunity for participants to ask questions.
