Provide additional funding to increase the availability of pelvic examinations

Petition Details

A pelvic examination is a simple examination that can be carried out when a woman complains of irregular, painful, heavy periods, or lower abdominal pain; such complaints are linked to chronic womb conditions such as fibroids, endometriosis, adenomyosis and pcos. Such needs to be offered routinely.

Additional Information

Women living with debilitating symptoms say they are suffering with poor mental health as more than 1 in 20 people in England face a year long wait for treatment. More than half a million women face prolonged waits for gynaecology care (Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists reference). Due to such wait times, women end up having to undergo major surgery to treat the condition(s). A pelvic examination could speed up the process of diagnosis, thus being able to put in place early treatment methods rather than severe operations.
