Perceptions of Menstruation and Endometriosis by RAH! Podcast at Manchester Met

This episode will explore Perceptions of Menstruation and Endometriosis, in particular we will ask:
• Why is it such a taboo?
• How can education help to break down the taboo and encourage equality?
• How do the expectations put on women contribute to medical responses to endometriosis?

FEATURING:
Rosie Jackson on perceptions of menstruation in history, and how the taboo could have first arisen.
Stella Bullo and Zoe Bibbon on how the language we use to talk about menstruation and endometriosis affects how they are considered in medical discourse, and how education might begin to solve the problem.
Jenny Cole on women’s experiences of living with endometriosis and how social expectations often lead to misdiagnosis and misunderstanding.
