Recent headlines have highlighted an uncomfortable truth: many women in the UK feel dismissed, overlooked, and misunderstood by their doctors.
A troubling report underscores what countless women have long been saying—that "medical misogyny" is a real barrier to adequate care for gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence.
The issue is not just about delayed diagnoses or mismanagement – it’s often about women being told that their pain is "all in their head" or having to attend several appointments to be taken seriously. Stories of women with endometriosis show that they’ve often had to wait years for a diagnosis despite living with debilitating pain and other life-altering symptoms. This makes it clear that there is a systemic issue in the women’s healthcare sector that demands real change.
