Summary

For too many women, understanding their health comes with unanswered questions and concerns that are often overlooked, especially when it comes to conditions that fall south of the belt. Pain and symptoms tied to issues like endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and overactive bladder are frequently dismissed or normalized, leaving many women without the clarity or care they deserve. From learning to recognize the warning signals our bodies send to breaking down long-standing stigmas around women’s health, our panel of experts will explore what empowered care truly looks like. Whether you’re searching for answers, navigating ongoing health challenges, or supporting someone you love, join us for practical tools & valuable insights to help you take charge and advocate for the care you deserve. <br> ● Speakers: <br> ○ Cortnie Gagnon, Senior Director, Upstream and Omnichannel Marketing <br> ○ Dr. Andrea Lukes, Principal Investigator & Founder of the Carolina Women’s Research and Wellness Center <br> ○ Dr. Esther Han, Reconstructive Urologist and Founder of UroLux Concierge <br> ● Moderator: Dr. Uchenna Ossai, Pelvic Health Physical Therapist and Certified Sexuality Counselor <br> <p> https://www.shemedia.com/sxsw-2026 <p>
