International Gynaecological Awareness Day celebration – progress
Well what a lead up to the Gynaecological Awareness Day with momentum forging ahead. What’s most exciting was the collaboration with Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology acknowledging and sharing links of women’s issues.
“Today is International Gynaecological Awareness Day, and we’d like to highlight the emotional, social and psychological impacts of living with a gynaecological condition. Persistent pelvic pain, for instance, can have a profound impact on many aspects of life and functioning, affecting a woman’s identity, ability to be intimate and the capacity to have and care for children.

#IGAD While pain is part of our working lives, coping with distressed patients may seem overwhelming. This article provides suggestions to enhance and support your management of patients with chronic pain, anxiety and depression: https://www.ogmagazine.org.au/20/3-20/mental-health-and-pelvic-pain/
#IGAD Perinatal mental health difficulties related to depression, anxiety and trauma are more common than often thought. Such difficulties are likely to recur in other pregnancies, can become chronic and have long-term consequences for the mother, her infant and relationships with others: “https://www.ogmagazine.org.au/20/3-20/birth-trauma-and-post-traumatic-stress-disorder-ptsd/

International Gynaecological Awareness Day Progress
After our meeting on 12th July 2018 with the President of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and the Vice-President of Global Health to discuss their support of the International Gynaecological Awareness Day (IGAD) campaign. I am more than elated to say they have agreed to celebrate IGAD.
A short history: Jeanette Preston (UK Founder of Pants Cancers) and myself as cancer survivors visited the college in 2008 to seek support for IGAD which was the planted seed to see this day come to fruition. So I encourage others to join in the campaign to help share greater education and acceptance as said by the President that Gynaecological Health should not be TABOO. Thanking all those who have supported in the past.
