The Victorian Premier has announced she will refer serious allegations about surgical misconduct with endometriosis patients by leading gynecologist Dr Simon Gordon to police. It follows a damning investigation by Four Corners on the ABC, which alleges that countless women had been misdiagnosed and had undergone unnecessary, expensive surgery. In a statement to Four Corners, Simon Gordon said, “across my entire career, I never performed surgery to treat endometriosis, or any other condition, unless I was absolutely convinced it was in the patient's best interests and to improve their overall quality of life,” and that throughout his career, he’d always “acted ethically and responsibly." In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Jodie Avery, a lead researcher in Chronic Reproductive Health Conditions, who unpacks what should happen when pelvic pain is investigated, why invasive surgery is no longer the first-line diagnostic tool, and what the latest evidence says about imaging, medical management and multidisciplinary care. She explains the current guidelines, the risks of repeated surgeries, and why women should never feel pressured into procedures without exploring alternatives. Disclaimer: This interview is for general information only; it does not constitute medical advice. The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists diagnosis guidelines state patients with symptoms suggestive of endometriosis should be offered a transvaginal pelvic ultrasound as the first-line investigation. A pelvic MRI can be offered if ultrasound is not available, or if deep endometriosis is suspected. If transvaginal ultrasound is not possible or not appropriate, and MRI is not available, a transabdominal ultrasound could be suggested. Surgery is not required as a first-line option to diagnose endometriosis. Headlines: Human remains have been found in the search for missing grandfather Chris Bahgsarian, Lord Peter Mandelson has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, and the theme for this year's Met Gala has been revealed.

What does a pap smear test for, and what happens after an abnormal pap smear? In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney interviews Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi to break down exactly what a pap smear is, how HPV affects cervical cancer risk, and what women need to know about abnormal results. A pap smear is a cervical cancer screening test that checks for precancerous and cancerous cells on the cervix. A pap smear does not test for ovarian cancer, uterine conditions, or all sexually transmitted infections. HPV testing is often performed at the same time because high risk HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer.Can you have HPV with a normal Pap smear? What actually happens after an abnormal result? Dr. A answers these questions and more, explaining that while most HPV infections clear on their own within one to two years, monitoring and follow-up are key. The bottom line: cervical cancer is highly preventable with routine Pap and HPV screening—but annual well-woman visits are still essential for protecting your long-term health.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility, and hormonal balance.

In this episode, Lisa sits down with registered nurse and endometriosis advocate Jenneh Rishe to explore her experience with diaphragmatic endometriosis — a form of the disease that presented with chest pain, shortness of breath, and right upper abdominal pain rather than the classic pelvic symptoms most practitioners associate with endo. Jenneh shares how years of hormonal suppression, including being prescribed the pill on top of an existing IUD, delayed her path to a confirmed diagnosis. This episode underscores the importance of specialist care, early diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary approach to endometriosis treatment.

Painful sex is far more common than most women realize and far more complex than we're ever taught.In this episode, Dr. Leah shares her deeply personal 18-year journey with painful sex, low libido, and feeling dismissed by the medical system, alongside a comprehensive breakdown of the real root causes of pain during sex, from trauma and pelvic floor dysfunction to hormonal changes and lesser-known conditions like provoked vestibulodynia (PVD).We talk honestly about why painful sex is not something you should “just push through,” why many conventional treatments miss the mark, and how healing often requires addressing multiple layers at once: physical, neurological, hormonal, and emotional.If sex has ever felt painful, burning, tense, or emotionally complicated, or if you've been told everything “looks normal” but something still feels wrong, this conversation is for you.Painful sex is not a personal failure, a relationship problem, or something you should tolerate. It's often a signal, and when you understand the signal, healing becomes possible.Content NoteThis episode includes discussion of sexual trauma, medical trauma, and chronic pain. Please take care while listening and pause if needed.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhy painful sex is common but not normalHow trauma (sexual, medical, or cultural) can create involuntary pelvic floor tensionThe difference between deep pain vs. pain at the vaginal opening (and why that matters)What vaginismus is and why dilators alone often aren't enoughHow pain and pleasure share the same neurological pathwaysThe role of vibration in interrupting pain signalsWhy hormonal birth control can contribute to painful sexWhat provoked vestibulodynia (PVD) is and why most women have never heard of itHow postpartum hormonal shifts can cause pain even when labs look “normal”Why testosterone matters for vulvar tissue healthThe connection between low libido and painHow hypertonic (overly tight) pelvic floors contribute to pain, birth challenges, and postpartum issuesWhy every woman should see a pelvic floor physical therapist at least onceHow scars, tailbone injuries, infections, and nerve pain syndromes play a roleWhy healing painful sex requires a root-cause, multi-layered approachA message of hope: healing is possible, even after years of pain00:00 Trailer + show intro02:00 Why painful sex is more common than we think (and why women feel so isolated)04:00 Dr. Leah's personal story: living with painful sex from the very beginning08:00 Being dismissed by doctors + why chronic pain is so confusing and isolating12:30 Why treating symptoms doesn't work16:00 Endometriosis and deep pain during sex25:30 Why pregnancy sometimes improves pain (and why it doesn't always last)32:45 Vaginismus explained40:45 Pain, pleasure, and the nervous system44:30 Trauma healing during pregnancy and how it changed postpartum pain47:45 Provoked Vestibulodynia (PVD)52:45 Birth control, testosterone, and why estrogen isn't always the issue56:45 What finally worked59:45 Other overlooked causes of painful sex1:04:30 Hypertonic pelvic floors1:08:30 Final reflections, hope, and next stepsResources Mentioned:Dr. Leah's When Sex Hurts Immersion Course WaitlistWhen Sex Hurts (book)Womanhood Wellness MembershipEpisode: Birth Preparation for Sexual Trauma Survivors

They discuss terminal agitation, how hospice teams manage comfort, and the thoughtful use of medications like morphine.The conversation also emphasizes the importance of end of life planning, including advance directives, family conversations, and making wishes known to reduce guilt and conflict later.

After years of debilitating endometriosis, failed fertility treatments, and a devastating miscarriage, Alyssa Chavez found herself at rock bottom—sitting in her closet every morning, crying, with zero resources for emotional support. The medical system had cleared her physically but left her completely alone in her grief. What happened next changed everything. In this deeply moving episode, Alyssa shares her 5-year journey from that closet floor to spontaneously conceiving her baby girl—not through more interventions, but through learning to listen to what her body had been trying to tell her all along. In this episode, we explore: Why "medically cleared" after pregnancy loss means nothing for your emotional, nervous system, or hormonal health The critical connection between your gut, nervous system, and reproductive system that most doctors never mention How symptoms aren't problems to fix—they're your body's communication system Why fertility isn't just about hormones (and what's really happening when your body won't conceive) The power of taking one tiny 1% step when you're feeling completely stuck How Alyssa went from debilitating endometriosis pain to completely pain-free periods What actually shifted when she stopped trying so hard and started supporting her nervous system This episode is for you if: You've been "cleared" medically but know something still isn't right You're tired of doctors offering only birth control or "just relax" You want to understand what your body is actually trying to tell you You're ready to reclaim your power in your own healing journey Alyssa's story is proof that your body isn't broken—it's brilliant.

El Mundo de Cabeza - Daniela Suquilanda, sexualidad y endometriosis by FM Mundo 98.1

Severe period pain? Vomiting? Fainting? It's not just “one of those things.” These can be symptoms of endometriosis - a condition far more complex than many realise, and which often goes undiagnosed and unsupported, affecting 1 in 10 women. In this episode, I'm joined by Professor Janice Rymer, consultant gynaecologist, and endometriosis nurse specialist Claudia Tye from Guy's Hospital, London. Between them, they bring years of clinical experience and research, helping women navigate the many challenges of endometriosis.We discuss what endometriosis is, why it happens, how it's diagnosed, treatment options, and how it can change during perimenopause and menopause. We also share self-help strategies and advice on getting the right support. If you've ever struggled to understand what your body is telling you - or want to support a loved one with endometriosis - this episode is packed with insight, guidance, and reassurance. If you're enjoying The Happy Menopause, please share it with friends and family, leave a 5* review, and don't forget to hit follow or subscribe on your favourite podcast platform.

If you have Endometriosis and are trying to fall pregnant — either naturally or with the help of IVF or IUI — it's normal to feel overwhelmed by conflicting supplement advice. In this episode, I break down the five key supplements that can support fertility in women with Endometriosis, and explain why they matter in the context of inflammation, oxidative stress, egg quality, and gut health. You'll learn how folate, CoQ10, vitamin C, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), and vitamin E work to support healthy egg development, reduce inflammatory load, and protect fertility — and why women with Endometriosis often have higher needs for these nutrients. I also share a bonus supplement for those preparing for IVF, R-alpha lipoic acid, and explain how it can help support egg quality and ovarian function during assisted reproductive cycles. This episode is practical, evidence-based, and designed to help you feel more confident about which supplements may be worth considering — and which ones require a more personalised approach. 

Ron Murphy talks with Dr. jennifer Mark OBGYN about the latest treatments for Endometriosis and explains what it is and what causes this problem.

How do you support someone you love through the chaos of addiction without losing yourself in the process? Why have women been expected to give birth lying flat on their backs for centuries, and is there a better way? And, is a hysterectomy a “magic fix” for endometriosis? In this episode, we speak to Addiction Psychiatrist Dr Xavier Mulenga, to navigate the heartbreaking reality of supporting a loved one with an addiction. We discuss the thin line between helping and enabling, how to handle the inevitable cycle of relapse, and why setting firm boundaries isn’t the same as abandonment. Plus, in Med School, Claire and Dr Mariam look at the history of birthing positions; they discuss “vertical birthing rooms” and explore why gravity might be your best friend in the delivery room. And, in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam answers Kara’s question about whether a hysterectomy is a potential avenue to end her debilitating 26-day periods. We break down the pros and cons of this major surgery, the reality of “surgical menopause” and explain why removing the uterus isn’t always a guaranteed cure for endometriosis.

What does endurance look like when perfection is no longer the goal?In this deeply personal episode, host Corrine Malcolm sits down with professional runner and mountain athlete Olivia Amber for a conversation about movement, identity, health, and choosing paths that don't always make sense on paper but that feel right in the body.Olivia grew up in a small Nordic ski community in northern Wisconsin, racing at a high level before stepping away from elite skiing after college. What followed was a series of pivots: a career outside sport, a rediscovery of running as a form of exploration, and eventually a return to the mountains — this time on her own terms.At the center of this episode is Olivia's recent completion of Norman's 13, a roughly 105-mile, 40,000-foot link-up of California's Sierra Nevada 14ers. Olivia became the first woman to establish a known time on the route, claiming the FKT in the process, but this achievement can't be separated from the years that came before it: shaped by chronic pain, a stage IV endometriosis diagnosis, major surgery, and learning to listen to a body that no longer responded to “push through it.”This is a conversation about redefining success, navigating health within high-performance sport, and allowing dreams to evolve when the old version no longer fits.In this episode, we talk about:Growing up in a Nordic ski community and how family shapes athletic identityWalking away from elite skiing — and why it wasn't a failureFinding running as freedom, not replacementLiving and training with stage IV endometriosisFertility decisions, surgery, and long-term health realitiesWhat makes Norman's 13 such a unique mountain challengeChoosing a harder line because it felt safer — and truerThe role of community in big, lonely objectivesLetting go of outcomes and committing to the process@feisty_media@trail.societyrabbit: Visit https://www.runinrabbit.com/to upgrade your running kit

In this episode of SHE MD Podcast, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi and Mary Alice Haney welcome Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to explore the critical role of muscle, protein, and metabolic health in women's longevity. Dr. Lyon challenges conventional narratives around aging and reframes strength as a foundation for long-term health, independence, and resilience.The conversation dives into why muscle is far more than an aesthetic goal and how it supports hormonal balance, metabolic health, and functional longevity. Dr. Lyon explains how prioritizing strength can help women protect their health as they age, reduce disease risk, and maintain vitality across every stage of life. Listeners gain clarity on how protein intake, resistance training, and proactive health strategies work together to build resilience. Dr. Lyon emphasizes that the ultimate goal is not simply muscle growth, but creating stronger, more capable humans who can thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally.This episode empowers women to rethink aging, move away from reactive healthcare, and adopt a proactive approach to strength and longevity. By focusing on function, resilience, and long-term health, Dr. Lyon offers a powerful framework for women to invest in their future selves and redefine what healthy aging truly looks like.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility, and hormonal balance.

In this episode of Get Well Better, The Lanby's Wellness Advisor Taylor Fazio walks through a real-life endometriosis case study and explains how a root-cause, whole-body care approach can support lasting symptom improvement.On this “One Take on One Take” episode:Tip 1: Use comprehensive lab work to uncover hidden drivers of endometriosis symptoms, including inflammation markers, estrogen dominance, and micronutrient deficiencies.Tip 2: Support detoxification and hormone balance through targeted supplementation (methylated B vitamins, magnesium), anti-inflammatory nutrition, and lifestyle strategies that reduce toxic burden.Tip 3: Treat the whole person — not just the diagnosis — by addressing stress, sleep, mental health, and collaborating with endometriosis-informed gynecologists and specialists.Subscribe to Get Well Better by The Lanby: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/get-well-better Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/get-well-better YouTube: @TheLanby Or search “Get Well Better by The Lanby” on your favorite podcast platform!VISIT THE LANBY: Explore membership and learn more about The Lanby's functional medicine approach:https://www.thelanby.comFOLLOW THE LANBY ON SOCIAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelanby Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thelanby LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/thelanbySTAY IN THE KNOW: Subscribe to The Lanby newsletter for health tips, podcast drops, and expert insights: https://www.thelanby.com/newsletter

We unpack new studies that reshape how we counsel on VBAC after short intervals, update what we tell BRCA carriers about estrogen therapy, and explore how self-collected HPV tests can reduce screening gaps. We also question surgical marketing, workforce trends, and the shaky evidence behind aspirin dosing for preeclampsia.• Short interpregnancy interval as a VBAC risk factor, not a contraindication• Absolute uterine rupture rates in spontaneous vs induced labor• Estrogen therapy in BRCA carriers and treated gyn cancers• Cervical screening overuse and underscreening in insured populations• Self-collected HPV testing intervals and access benefits• OB-GYN workforce shortages and rural distribution gaps• Endometriosis surgery indications versus fertility claims• Robotics versus laparoscopy outcomes and training priorities• Aspirin dose trials, lack of placebo arms, and abruption signals• Reading statistics correctly and demanding better editorial standards0:00 Setting The Agenda: New Studies0:40 Short Interval Pregnancy And VBAC Risk3:10 Quantifying Uterine Rupture By Spacing8:10 Induction, Augmentation, And Rupture Math9:40 HRT In BRCA Carriers: New Evidence13:05 Estrogen After Gyn Cancers: Practice Gaps17:40 Cervical Screening: Overuse And Underscreening22:30 Self-Collected HPV Testing Guidance27:00 OB-GYN Shortages And Distribution33:20 Endometriosis Surgery And Fertility Claims41:20 Robotics Vs Laparoscopy: Outcomes And Training47:20 Aspirin Dosing For Preeclampsia: No Signal55:30 Interpreting Stats And Editorial Standards59:20 Closing Notes And Next StepsBe sure to check out thinking about obgyn.com for more information, and be sure to follow us on InstagramFollow us on Instagram @thinkingaboutobgyn.

Women's bodies get endlessly analyzed from the outside… while our internal health gets treated like an optional group project nobody studied for. Cool cool cool. In this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil goes deep on the perimenopause/menopause mess: the years of brain fog, 3 a.m. wake-ups, mood swings, weight gain, and the medical equivalent of a shrug. Enter Dr. Sarah Daccarett, hormone specialist and aging expert, to explain why so many women are confused, dismissed, and exhausted—and why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) should be viewed as foundational health support, not a “last resort once you're fully miserable.” What We Cover Why most women (including doctors) are confused about perimenopause + HRT—and why that's not your fault The “natural” misconception: why Sarah argues HRT can be more natural than the supplement aisle Why waiting for hot flashes is like waiting for your car to explode before you change the oil Hormones as the “CEO of the body”: brain, bones, metabolism, sleep, libido, digestion—ALL of it The real problem with “just fix your gut / cortisol / diet” advice when your hormones are the actual root issue PCOS, insulin resistance, and why “just lose weight” advice can be straight-up useless Why hormone testing can be wildly unreliable—and why symptoms still matter Medical gaslighting: how women lose trust in themselves when the system keeps minimizing them If you've been white-knuckling your way through perimenopause symptoms, you're not weak—you're under-supported. Better info + better care isn't “extra,” it's the bare minimum. Thank you to our sponsors!

Since when did cosy chats about books suck up quite so many headlines? Adelaide Writers' Week is the longest-running literary event in Australia and this week it collapsed under the weight of its own controversy. So, Em asks Holly and Jessie, what are writers' festivals for, anyway? Jennifer Lawrence re-homed her dogs after she had a baby and Jessie wants to know why nobody warned her that talking about that will ruin her life. And Jessie would know. When does a situationship become a boy/girlfriend? And when does a boy/girlfriend become a partner? And does anyone (apart from Raye) like the word husband? Thanks to Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, we have a new commitment ladder for relationships in 2026. Also, the job choice that can predict your age and stage. And the new endo test that could change everything for women tired of waiting for an answer about why they're in agony. Oh, and did Holly just get fleeced by Harry Styles?

Mifepristone, one of the drugs in the two-pill medication abortion regimen approved by the Food and Drug Administration, is an extremely versatile drug. It has the potential to treat a striking range of diseases and conditions—from fibroids, breast cancer, depression, and endometriosis, to autoimmune diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome and multiple sclerosis, according to scientists. Research also suggests that it could help prevent some forms of breast cancer, and it can serve as an effective weekly contraceptive without some of the side effects of hormonal birth control.  Given its incredibly promising uses to aid women's health, why has its research been repeatedly undermined, derailed, and obstructed in the United States?Joining us to discuss these issues is our very special guest: Carrie N. Baker: Carrie Baker is the a professor of the Study of Women and Gender and chair of the Program for the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality at Smith College. She is a contributing editor with Ms. Magazine and publishes a monthly column in the Daily Hampshire Gazette.
