Welcome

Health Education Research (HER) Trust aims to:

• raise awareness of women’s reproductive health, for both individuals and healthcare professionals
• empower women with information about their bodies at all ages, from puberty to menopause
• support basic and clinical research in women’s health.

Despite the enormous medical advances of the last century, many areas of women’s reproductive health remain a mystery. There is still widespread ignorance amongst women - and even health professionals - about a whole range of female disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian failure, premenstrual syndrome, endometriosis, subfertility and menstrual and menopausal disorders all of which can severely affect a woman’s sense of well being as well as disrupting her social and family life.

Doctors specialising in Obstetrics and Gynaecology are currently trained to use a surgical and interventionist approach to female disorders. Unfortunately, such a clinical approach can have short and long-term side effects and women might want to explore preventative and natural approaches where possible.
