or many women today it’s often the case that they lead very busy lives, and the only time they are really able to speak to a medical professional about any aspect of their health is when they visit their doctor or for example when they have their smear test. It is however unlikely that a woman will be able to talk over all of her medical concerns with her doctor within the time allocated for a normal appointment, and it may have been some time since her last smear test. It may also be the case that she has concerns or questions relating to that last smear test and these have left a nagging worry in the back of her mind.
As you read this you may have some health concerns of your own that you would like to opportunity to talk to a medical professional about, preferably to a specialist in women’s health. Perhaps for example you may have been experiencing very heavy periods, or you may have reason to believe that you are at risk of ovarian cancer or osteoporosis. It could also be the case that your quality of life is being affected in a very negative way by PMT and you would like to find a way to at least effectively deal with the symptoms.
For some women it’s a case of having health concerns such as pelvic pain, or they are concerned about other problems that they simply don’t want or feel able to talk about with a friend, their loved ones, or their GP e.g. a problem with your sexual health.
