Beyond ‘normal’: Women’s health symptoms GPs should explore further
1:51

Matt WoollardHOST
So then when we're talking about, I suppose, women's health concerns, what are the most commonly missed or minimised, normalised or raised only as an afterthought? And which would you encourage GPs to explore a little bit further into with their patients?
S
2:09Sneha WadhwaniGUEST
Well, I'm frequently on my soapbox when it comes to discussing a patient's menstrual health, right? I think that is probably the most common symptom or experience that is normalized both by communities, families, medicine, and by that I mean any healthcare practitioner, but also, you know, in the wider society.
S
2:36Sneha WadhwaniGUEST
But I think, you know, so often we think as practitioners and specifically as GPs, perhaps when we ask a patient, how are your periods? And they say, fine, that we've ticked the box.
S
2:54Sneha WadhwaniGUEST
OK, well, how frequently do you get a period? How many days do you bleed for? how many days are heavy of those days and how frequently would you change on those heavy days, that you get a true insight into how this is actually affecting someone.
S
3:09Sneha WadhwaniGUEST
So menstrual health is probably the most, I suppose, underrepresented in that.
S
3:16Sneha WadhwaniGUEST
And I would say as part of that women's pain and pelvic pain as well, And so I think these are two spaces where women can often feel dismissed, where their symptoms can be normalized, because culturally, historically, it's been attributed as a normal part of being a woman.
