What the petition asks
Waiting times for women suffering life-limiting gynaecological conditions are now unacceptable. More funding, to improve the availability of treatment and education of medical staff, is needed to improve the lives of women living with these chronic conditions.
Fibroids and endometriosis are painful conditions often marked as benign and therefore not treated promptly. Women can suffer extreme bleeding either during periods or outside of periods, which can result in embarrassing flooding. Regular pain, bloating, tiredness, acid reflux, stress incontinence, expansion of the uterus can result in growth that mimics pregnancy causing additional psychological distress. Stop ignoring and accepting it is OK for women to live with these debilitating conditions.
