‘I was made to think the pain was all in my head’: gynaecological ordeals shared

As a UK report finds women with reproductive conditions have faced poor care due to ‘medical misogyny’, people share their suffering

Women and girls in the UK with gynaecological conditions such as endometriosis and adenomyosis have spent years in pain due to “medical misogyny”, according to a parliamentary report.

The women and equalities committee report found that women with reproductive conditions faced inadequate care due to a “pervasive stigma” and symptoms being “normalised” by healthcare professionals.
