Menstrual and Reproductive Health

Speaker: Dr. Sukhbir S. Singh MD, FRSC, FACOG, professor at University of Ottawa, Minimally Invasive Gynecology at The Ottawa Hospital and E. Jolly Research Chair in Gynecologic Surgery at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute.

Join us for a conversation about menstrual and reproductive health!

Heavy menstrual bleeding, severe abdominal pain, and irregular periods plague many Canadian women – and it is not always normal. Supporting patients starts with a better conversation in the doctor's office, an understanding of associated conditions, and current information about treatment options. Dr. Sony Singh is a leading gynecologist in Canada and will share his experience in dealing with endometriosis, uterine fibroids and other conditions that are affecting women’s menstrual and reproductive health. He will provide insights for clinical practices and current information on non-invasive surgical treatment options.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

- Women who want to learn about menstrual and reproductive health and how to be a better self-advocate.

- People who care about women and want to better understand the challenges of coping with menstrual health issues.

- Healthcare professionals interested in understanding the patient journey and options for care.

- Community stakeholders that want to drive new conversations for better health outcomes.
