Description

In this episode, Dr Emily Ware and Dr Rebecca South unpack the realities of persistent pelvic pain and endometriosis in everyday Australian general practice. Hear practical, consult‑room focused insights on recognising complex pelvic pain earlier, supporting patients who feel dismissed, and rethinking the GP’s role in multidisciplinary care:

  • Understand how endometriosis and persistent pelvic pain overlap
  • Learn a simple GP-friendly framework for validating complex pelvic pain
  • Identify key pain drivers – inflammatory, pelvic floor, bowel, bladder and central sensitisation
  • Discover medical and non-pharmacological management
