Endometriosis is often associated with painful periods but for many women, its impact extends much further.
Pelvic pain. Pain during sex. Bloating and bowel symptoms. Bladder changes. Difficulty exercising comfortably. Fatigue. Changes in how your body feels and functions.
And as you move through different stages of life, including perimenopause and menopause, your symptoms and the way they need to be managed may change too.
If you have endometriosis, suspect you may have it, or are experiencing pelvic symptoms you don’t fully understand, this free webinar is designed to help you better understand what may be happening, and the support available.
In this practical and informative webinar, Dr Usha Thiagaraja from Pranavi Women’s Health and Pelvic Physiotherapist Thi Anh Oliver will explore endometriosis from both a medical and pelvic health perspective.
Together, they’ll look beyond period pain to explore how endometriosis can affect your health and everyday life from adolescence through the reproductive years, perimenopause and beyond.
During the webinar, Dr Usha Thiagaraja will discuss:
- The different ways endometriosis can affect periods, pelvic health, sex, bladder and bowel function, and everyday life.
- How symptoms can present and change throughout different stages of life.
- How endometriosis is investigated and diagnosed, and when new or changing symptoms should be assessed.
- Medical management options, including pain relief, hormonal treatment, surgery and considerations around menopause care.
- Why long-term management often benefits from an individualised, multidisciplinary approach.
Thi Anh Oliver will explore the pelvic health side of endometriosis, including:
- Understanding Endometriosis and Chronic Pelvic Pain, how endometriosis affects the nervous system, brain, and whole body—not just the pelvis.
- The Pelvic Floor Pain Cycle, how protective pelvic floor muscle bracing contributes to persistent pelvic pain, bladder and bowel symptoms, and painful sex.
- The Role of Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy, how physiotherapy can help manage endometriosis symptoms, reduce pain, improve movement, and restore function.
- Why External Pelvic Stability Matters, how improving hip, core, and pelvic stability can reduce pain, improve pelvic floor function, and support long-term recovery.
- Optimising Bladder and Bowel Health, practical strategies to improve bladder and bowel function to reduce pelvic pain, pelvic floor tension, and symptom flare-ups.
