Great coverage of this important @medresfdn.bsky.social study: “We know most young people don’t seek help for period pain & those who do may be dismissed, belittled or told it is normal. This study shows that teenage period pain may also shape future physical health” @katyleach-comms.bsky.social 👏

Thank you to @rsc.org for featuring Alison Simmons, our former Director of Research, in a conversation about the gender gap in science. “There has been a lack of research and research funding into conditions which only affect women,” says Alison. Read the full story via @chemistryworld.com below!

Endometriosis and period pain: understanding women's pelvic pain
This is the third episode in a collaborative series between I’m Fine podcast and the Medical Research Foundation. In today’s conversation, Jean Campbell - who discusses her own experience of living with chronic pelvic pain - is joined by Professor Katy Vincent, an NHS consultant gynaecologist and leading researcher at the University of Oxford – to unpack the staggering scale and impact of pelvic pain in women and girls. From untreated period pain in adolescence to endometriosis, painful sex, and fertility, they explore why women’s pain is still so often ignored, misdiagnosed, or minimised — and what needs to change in both healthcare and research. The Medical Research Foundation is at the forefront of tackling often-overlooked health challenges, from chronic pain to areas of medical health that don’t receive the attention they deserve.
