Researchers at Monash University are investigating how individuals with endometriosis experience using long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) as a hormonal treatment in Australian general practice. LARC includes hormone-releasing intrauterine devices (IUDs) and contraceptive implants. We are interested to hear if these treatments were offered or not, if you considered using them or not and if you have tried them or not. Insights will help us design better ways for doctors and patients to talk about and use guideline-recommended care.
