    Endometriosis, PMOS and Feeling Heard with Miss Lauren Green

    Dr Nick Dunn is joined by Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Miss Lauren Green to discuss two common but often misunderstood conditions: endometriosis and Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS), previously known as PCOS. Lauren explains why endometriosis can be so hard to diagnose, the symptoms that shouldn't just be accepted as part of having periods, and what treatment can look like across primary and specialist care. She also talks about why women so often grow up believing that living with pain is normal. Nick and Lauren also unpack what's behind the PMOS name change. Lauren explains how insulin resistance can make weight loss metabolically more difficult, and talks about the physical and emotional impact the condition can have. We hear how, for Lauren, taking the time to really listen so patients feel heard is often the first step towards managing symptoms and protecting long-term health. Nick also finds out what brought Lauren back to Guernsey after training in the UK, why continuity of care is one of the most rewarding parts of her job, and how she unwinds outside the consulting room. -------- If this conversation sounds familiar, or you’re experiencing any of the symptoms discussed, don’t put off seeking advice. Book an appointment with your GP to discuss your concerns and the treatment options available. www.healthcare.gg www.msg.gg Got a question for Dr Nick Dunn? Send us a message
