Pelvic and abdominal symptoms can often sit at the crossroads between gynaecology and colorectal medicine, making diagnosis and referral decisions challenging in primary care.

Join Mr Parv Sains, Consultant General & Colorectal Surgeon, and Mr Faz Pakarian, Consultant Gynaecologist & Urogynaecologist, for a practical evening exploring the overlap between these two specialties, on Thursday, 8 October at The Montefiore Hospital, in Hove.

The session will cover:

• Endometriosis involving the bowel
• Pelvic pain and overlapping symptoms
• Bowel symptoms in women
• Rectovaginal fistulas
• Pelvic masses
• Prolapse and pelvic floor disorders
• When to investigate, when to refer, and which specialty to involve
• Q&A

The evening will focus on practical guidance for GPs, helping you navigate complex pelvic symptoms and recognise when a gynaecological, colorectal or multidisciplinary approach may be appropriate.
