The problem with "wonder drugs" for endometriosis and pelvic pain

Épisode 17

mardi 17 décembre 2024 • Durée 17:47

Want to ask a question or suggest a topic? Send us a text here

Are new drugs really the solution to managing endometriosis, or is there a bigger picture being missed?

In this episode of Women of the Well, Dr Peta, Dr Thea, and Sam break down the recent news about a supposed “miracle drug” for endometriosis that’s now subsidised under the PBS.

While the headlines promise life-changing results, the team shares their insights and first-hand experiences treating women with endometriosis and pelvic pain – and why this "new" solution may fall short.

🎧 Listen now to find out:

🌿 What the "new drug" actually is and why Visanne (Dienogest) isn’t as revolutionary as it’s being portrayed.

🌿 The real problem with treating endometriosis – how focusing solely on lesions and surgery ignores the whole-body factors driving pain.

🌿 Why hormone-based treatments often fail women – from worsening mood issues to long-term impacts like painful sex and vaginal atrophy.

🌿 What’s really behind pelvic pain – the role of the nervous system, muscle tension, and immune health in managing symptoms effectively.

🌿 Ways the system needs to change including better access to holistic care, physiotherapy, nervous system regulation, and longer appointments for women’s health.

Why we're so passionate about this:

Because women deserve more than cookie-cutter solutions for complex health issues like endometriosis and pelvic pain.

This episode dives into the nuance of what truly helps women heal and reclaim their lives, beyond the band-aid fixes often prescribed.

Recommended resources:

📖 Healing Pelvic Pain by Dr Peta Wright – A comprehensive guide on managing pelvic pain, with practical strategies for calming the nervous system.

Want to ask a question or suggest a topic? Send us a text here

In this episode, Vera Wellness gynaecologists Dr Peta Wright and Dr Thea Bowler explore the important nuances of endometriosis diagnosis and management.

From explaining the different types of endometriosis to challenging the idea that surgery is the only solution, Dr Peta and Dr Thea offer insights into what’s really happening in your body.

They share how a more informed, whole-body approach can help you manage your symptoms and feel more in control of your health.

🎧 Tune in for this deep dive into…

🍃 What’s really causing your pain: Not all pelvic pain is due to endometriosis. Find out how to identify if your symptoms could be rooted in something else – and what that means for your next steps.

🍃 A new perspective on diagnosis: Why the push for early diagnosis might not always serve you and how embracing a holistic, whole-body approach can actually lead to better, longer-lasting outcomes.

🍃 Understanding endometriosis types: Get clear on the different types of endometriosis – from superficial and deep infiltrating endo, to ovarian endometriomas and adhesive endometriosis. Learn what these mean for your symptoms and treatment options.

🍃 The truth about laparoscopy: Why this commonly recommended diagnostic surgery might not be the “gold standard” after all – and what you should consider instead.

🍃 Alternatives to surgery that work: Explore powerful non-surgical strategies like pain education, pelvic floor therapy, nervous system regulation, diet, and lifestyle changes that could help you reclaim your health and wellbeing.

**IMPORTANT NOTE** If you’ve been diagnosed with endometriosis and are worried about fertility – book an appointment with a fertility specialist to discuss further fertility testing and options. Some women with endometriosis may experience more challenges trying to conceive, although the majority of women have no issues. Counseling early can help provide you with information specific to you, and provide you with all the options available for investigation and treatment if this is a concern for you. __________________________Resources mentioned in this episode:

Women of the Well Trailer

Épisode 1

samedi 7 septembre 2024 • Durée 01:57

Want to ask a question or suggest a topic? Send us a text here

What if women were truly comfortable with their true power? With the incredible intelligence, strength and beauty of their bodies?

How would that change the way we see women’s health?

Welcome to Women of the Well.

This podcast has been designed to help women like you reconnect with your bodies and celebrate the magic within them.

It’s hosted by gynaecologists Dr Peta Wright and Dr Thea Bowler, alongside holistic women’s counsellor Sam Lindsay-German.

We’re here because we believe that for too long, women have absorbed the idea that their female-ness is troublesome, messy or inconvenient.

Women have internalised the idea that they don’t have control over their bodies.

They often feel like their bodies let them down or betray them in some way.

And the mainstream medical model has supported and even enforced this paradigm.

We want to help women to see the magic in their bodies again.

To reconnect with how amazing and powerful we are, and to celebrate and support the female body.

We want to guide you back to yourself and support you to understand your body so you can make health decisions that feel right for you.

And we will have some incredible guests join us to dive deeper in to all aspects of women’s health – mind, body and soul.

We hope you love it, and if you do, please subscribe and share this podcast with other women.
