In this episode of the ASK QENDO Podcast, we sit down with QENDOCare Nurse Navigator Gill Gordon to discuss what is — and isn't — normal when it comes to periods, pelvic pain and advocating for your health.
Gill shares practical strategies to help you prepare for appointments, communicate with healthcare providers and feel more confident making decisions about your care. We explore tools such as SBAR and BRAINS, the importance of tracking symptoms, and creating your own symptom management "toolbox" for difficult days.
"It is not normal to plan your day around where the closest bathroom is."
You are the expert in your own body. If your periods or pelvic pain regularly stop you from attending work, school, social activities or living your life, it's worth seeking support. Understanding your symptoms and advocating for yourself can be an important step towards getting the care you need.
