1 in 10 women suffer from chronic gynecological pain, like endometriosis and vulvodynia, yet many are told their pain is 'all in their head.' Medical #gaslighting is real, and lack of research is making it worse. buff.ly/uekJnDE #health #womenshealth #endometriosis

Are you interested in how patient information can impact pain experiences in gynaecology? In this blog I reflect on our recent TIGER UK discussion between patients, healthcare professionals, researchers and other experts... www.linkedin.com/pulse/pain-r... #WomensHealth #gynaecology

1/4 When a patient experiences high levels of pain during a #gynaecology procedure it can cause huge distress and in some cases lasting trauma. It can affect trust and leave people fearful to access future appointments that could be critical to health outcomes.

1/3 I left a #gynaecology appointment traumatised, and unfortunately I am not alone.

Improving #gynaecology experiences requires a big picture approach & a lot of collaboration... What's missing from this list of influencing factors? Which do you think matter most?

Improving gynaecology experiences, some key factors:
Informed consent
Range of pain relief options
Compassionate and dignified care for all
Research: understanding the gaps and the evidence
Recording patient experience
Listening to patients
Empowering patients
Funding
Addressing misogyny
Learning from good and poor pratice
Addressing bias and discrimination
Training and education
Quality of care
Co-production
Finding male and female champions
Trauma informed care
Accessibility
Prompt diagnosis & treatment
Shared decision making
Patient safety
