Dr Shamitha Kathurusinghe has been my “go-to” specialist for people with endometriosis for many years now. Not only is she clinically excellent but, as this video shows, she truly cares about her patients.

Thank you to Dr Shami for being the brave voice for so many of our patients that deserve better.

Government support for people living with pelvic pain and endometriosis is essential 🧡 the financial burden of healthcare is one of the main barriers and there is still an average of 7 years (and usually multiple doctors visits) before diagnosis.

Over a number of years I worked with local women to draw attention to the lack of resources for women suffering endometriosis and pelvic pain. Our Federal Labor Government have since put treatments on the PBS and funded a clinic in Darwin which has been very successful in providing support.

This week the Assistant Minister for Health, Aged Care and Indigenous Health, the Hon Rebecca White MP, joined me at the Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis Clinic in Coconut Grove.

This clinic is part of the Albanese Government’s $500 million investment in women’s health, making sure women in the Territory and across Australia have better access to care, earlier treatment and stronger support.

🧡 My Go-to Yoga Routine 🧡

My most recommended youtube clip would have to be this beautiful flow from Paula Lay in Melbourne. Perfect if you feel tension in your upper back (breastfeeding, office work, general stress!).

Not only is it doable at only just over 10 minutes but it is also highly effective. And if you're anything like me and love multi-tasking, do your pelvic floor exercises at the same time 🥰🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️ Namaste 🧡

🧡 Ultrasound of the Pelvic Floor 🧡

Because we can’t see our pelvic floor muscles it can be really challenging to know if we are contracting them properly! Realtime Ultrasound over the lower belly or perineum can be an amazing feedback tool to ensure you’re doing it right!

I take my ultrasound on home visits and use it most days in clinic (especially for men and children).

If you are interested in having a look at what your muscles are doing (in a very fun way) contact Northside Health NT on 79997448 for an appointment!
