This Endometriosis Awareness Month, we're putting a spotlight on the work of our Mercy Hospital for Women (MHW) researchers.

Endometriosis is often associated with persistent pelvic pain (PPP), however, at least one third of patients who undergo diagnostic surgery (laparoscopy) for PPP will not have endometriosis.

MHW researchers Dr Sam Mooney and Dr Kate Stone have launched a project to develop an 'endometriosis calculator' to improve our understanding of which patients may benefit from surgery.

Birth injuries are something we treat frequently in our clinic and this year they are the focus of Birth Trauma Awareness Week.

Below is a repost from .org.au with a preview of their Birth Injuries Survey report. Check out their page for more info and to see the important work that the Australasian Birth Trauma Association does. We look forward to reading the full report soon ❤️

…

Birth injuries are physical injuries experienced during childbirth. They can include vaginal/perineal tears (of any degree), pelvic floor muscle damage, infected stitches, infection of the womb lining (uterus), fistula (formulation), wound dehiscence, hysterectomy, bladder damage, blood clot/s, prolapse, pudendal neuralgia, coccydynia (refers to any type of persistent tailbone pain), bone injuries (such as fractured coccyx) and other injuries not otherwise categorised that may have been experienced.
​
​We recognise that birth injuries can impact women, the birthing person or the baby.
​
​⚠️ ​We will be releasing our physical birth injuries report very soon⚠️
​
​We invited respondents of our Birth Injuries Survey to select from a list of 18 injury types including an open category, "other" - in which they could specify injuries not otherwise described. More than one selection could be made.
​
​The top three most common reported injuries were;

- 3rd or 4th-degree tears
- Prolapse
- Infected stitches
​
There were many other types of injuries described in our survey, but our aim here is to highlight the often hidden reality many women and birthing people face after childbirth and encourage further research in this area.

Nervous about attending appointments with all the bugs going around this winter season?

We have lots of precautions in place to keep you safe when attending the clinic.

Our favourite additions this winter are the HEPA air purifiers in each treatment room and at reception!

Combined with our rigorous cleaning between patients and masks for everyone in the clinic, we have maximised our COVID (and flu and all germs) safety in clinic!

Give reception a call on 96873040 if you have any questions!
