Welcome to It’s Not Just A Period!

This week, Alexandra is joined by Anishka Sooriah, who reached out to us wanting to share her journey with painful sex and tearing as a result of Endometriosis.

Anishka opens up about years of misunderstood symptoms and how complicated her relationship with herself and others became when she started to experience painful sex and tearing.

She walks us through years of GP appointments, gynaecology consultations and the unexpected complications that have come from specialised Endometriosis care.

Anishka's openness, vulnerability and courage to share intimate details of her health is a reminder of why it's so important to break the taboos around women's health.

Welcome to It’s Not Just A Period!

This week Alexandra welcomes the fabulous duo behind the Menstrual Health Project, Gabriella Pearson and Anna Cooper. Their friendship began on Instagram as they connected over Endometriosis but today it has become so much more as they tackle fundamental change in menstrual health.

Anna and Gabz's individual stories of Endometriosis and Adenomyosis are some of the most shocking we've ever heard. Their journeys are plagued with medical gaslighting and misogyny from the start and highlight the truly shocking realities within women's healthcare.

We discuss the gaping holes in care across the England, Scotland and Wales, the lack of education and understanding surrounding conditions and the life changing impacts of surgery; particularly hysterectomy's and surgical menopause, can have

Gabz and Anna are raw, honest and unfiltered as they put their hearts on the line in this chat.
