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.
