""I had a lot of pain with periods, I was back and forth to the doctor. I was put on lots of different contraception, that didn't really do anything to help. I was well for four days out of every month, it ruined my life.""
""I just felt like I wasn't being listened to. I was being fobbed off. I wanted to be heard and I didn't feel like I was getting that at all. I'm angry about it.""
""Too often we hear of women whose health concerns have been dismissed, and we are actively addressing this through education, training and improving services for women.""
Rachel Moore, 37, suffers from adenomyosis, a condition causing chronic pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. After years of feeling dismissed by her GP and receiving ineffective treatments, she underwent a hysterectomy privately. Moore expressed anger over not being listened to and feeling fobbed off by the NHS. The NHS acknowledged the issue of women's health concerns being overlooked and is working to improve support and services for conditions like adenomyosis. Women's health campaigners emphasize the need for better recognition and treatment of this condition.
