Summary: In today's episode Dr Peta Wright is back for round two to share 5 things your gynaecologist wants you to know. We speak about the pill, contraception, period pain, the menstrual cycle, if freezing eggs or assisted fertility needs to be considered and what’s normal when it comes to vulvas. Dr Peta Wright is deeply committed to all aspects of women’s health care. She strives to take a holistic approach to managing the health concerns of women of all ages. Peta has a particular interest and expertise in the areas of paediatric and adolescent gynaecology, having completed a fellowship in adolescent gynaecology in 2013. For patients who are trying to conceive, Peta offers fertility care with a holistic approach, addressing diet, lifestyle and environmental factors. If required, she is able to offer treatment with assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI) and ovulation induction.
