And even with a diagnosis, the NHS do nothing to treat you. While we're on the subject of women's health, I've been waiting for an appointment to have my coil removed for 8 months. I'm without contraception coz they messed up the insertion of the coil for a second time and now it has to be surgically removed. I hate the NHS and it's way too expensive for me to go private to have the surgery

I'm currently on a 8 to 9 month waiting list to see a gynecologist. for such a debilitating condition I think it's absolutely disgusting the way women are treated by the NHS.
