Women’s Health Matters: understanding fertility, pain and wellness

Join Epworth Geelong specialists for a free, informative session where we dive into topics that matter to you: endometriosis, pelvic pain, and good gut health.

Who should attend?
This event is aimed at anyone who would like to know more about endometriosis and pelvic pain.

Gastroenterologist Dr Chris Hair joins gynaecologist Dr Alex Bonner to break down what endometriosis is, how it can affect your fertility and daily life, and what you can do about it. Plus, we’ll chat about the often-overlooked connection between gut health and pelvic pain.

Tea, coffee and nibbles will be available, as well as the opportunity to ask questions.
