I'm Fine Oxford University Researcher & Professor Katy Vincent Shares the Latest Research, Demystifying Chronic Pelvic Pain & Endometriosis
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. Find out more about our mission: https://www.medicalresearchfoundation.org.uk/
