    SUMMER SERIES: Endometriosis: Neurocircuitry and the Emerging Role of Trauma with Emma Sutherland and Leah Hechtman

    Leah Hechtman, well respected naturopathic practitioner, and reproductive health expert, explores the pain associated with endometriosis and the emerging understanding of adjusted neurological pathways through a woman’s life experiences that can shapes her perception of pain. She is joined by FX Medicine ambassador, Emma Sutherland, who delves into the concepts of the neurocircuitry that occurs in women with endometrial pain, and explores why some women may or may not feel pain depending on the physical severity of tissue proliferation. There’s a deep connection between lived experiences, emotions and trauma which impacts a woman’s feeling of safety, self-worth and empowerment which requires ongoing work to untangle in order to recover from experiencing ongoing pain - even when the clinical signs of endo have ceased. The importance of support and providing a safe space for women to discuss all the underlying factors to their pain is emphasised. Importantly, knowing when to refer is explained, particularly if there are aspects of psychological, physical or sexual health that requires another experts skills to facilitate the road to recovery. Emma and Leah discuss various tests that prove to be valuable for measuring inflammatory and coagulation makers, both hallmarks of endometriosis, the use of medications and how they assist with management.
