Menstruation is having a bit of a moment in Australia. Victoria and South Australia made tampons and pads free last year. The federal government poured $58 million into endometriosis from this year’s budget.
But with Spain becoming the first European nation to take steps to provide paid leave for period pain and new Aussie research finding that 1 in 3 women feel the need to hide their pain or endometriosis diagnosis from their employer– could we – and should we – be doing more?
On today’s episode of The Briefing Antoinette Lattouf catches up with Dr Mike Armour about his new research and chats to women’s health author and podcaster Yumi Stynes.
