"I have been a gynecologist for 22 years. I trained in South Africa and moved to NZ 9 years ago. It has been a privilege to care for women of all ages". Dr Mona Ponnen

Young woman can struggle with misconceptions about their bodies and this can lead to stress or anxiety about what is 'normal'.

If people express opinions often enough, they may create beliefs that are not entirely true. Social media and celebrity tweets flood our youth with information. Specialists have a huge task of clarifying confusing misconceptions around gynecology.

We are looking forward to engaging in an evening with Mum's and/or their teenage daughters, where we can explore the common myths that may impact a women's choices around her health, medication, appropriate screening tests and more.

Please feel free to bring any questions which can be handed in (anonymously if you like).

Numbers are limited, please select two tickets if purchasing for yourself and your daughter.

Parking and entrance is at the rear of building at 63 Seddon Street, Pukekohe.

Free event for you.... keep in mind that MHP pays our presenters, so please commit to attending or cancel your ticket if you are unable to attend to allow others the opportunity.
