About this education
Persistent pelvic pain affects up to 1 in 4 women and people assigned female at birth, and endometriosis affects approximately 1 in 7 Australian women of reproductive age, yet the average time to diagnosis remains 6–8 years.¹ General practitioners are frequently the first clinician a patient sees before a diagnosis is established.
This webinar takes a case-based, clinically grounded approach. Rather than framing up the condition didactically, it opens in the consultation room and builds knowledge through two real-world GP presentations — persistent pelvic pain presenting as bladder pain syndrome and an early pelvic pain presentation in an adolescent with complex pain drivers. These are common presentations in general practice and often require thought outside historical frameworks.
