It took until 2019 for TV advertisements for sanitary products to stop using ‘blue dye’ to symbolise menstrual blood. So why do periods make us feel so uncomfortable?But the awkward feeling is just the start of the problem. By not talking about periods and pelvic floors, women aren’t getting the medical help they need, the right support in the workplace and even research into women’s health is being negatively affected. For rural women, a lack of access to specialist women’s health practitioners is exacerbating the problem. In this episode, we hear from two rural women, who are passionate about breaking the stigma:Jess Fishburn – Pelvic Physiotherapist and Director, Gen Health, HamiltonAnna Barwick – Pharmacist and founder, PharmOnlineJess and Anna share their expertise on how to know when something is not ‘normal’ and what treatments are available.  For more information visit our website. **SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY**  If you're a rural woman and would like to promote your business on this podcast, contact us at [email protected] to find out about our advertising opportunities.  Send us a text
