Since when has Menstruation, pregnancy and menopause been a health issue? Surely these are stages of life and bodily functions that do not need to be problematic. Problems arise surely from underlying failings in health issues, be it hormonal or other.

I’m sure this has been posted before but please keep reminding people to complete it and don’t limit it to just female contacts. Female health impact on our male connections too.

Try to see past the shoddy poorly devised survey, which has clearly omitted the proof reading stage! Lets hope that is not a sign of the impact it will have!

Since when has Menstruation, pregnancy and menopause been a health issue?

Menstruation : Endometriosis? Adenomyosis? PCOS?

Pregnancy : I have no experience of this.

Menopause : Increased risk of age-related health problems as sex hormones disappear? Severe menopausal symptoms?

I think what I’m saying is that there are health conditions associated but they they themselves are not health conditions but stages of life, the problems arise from these other conditions. By terming them as health conditions it almost gives an excuse for the underlying conditions to be passed off without treatment. I hope that makes sense?

Just to point out this is available only in England.

Although it announces:

Open consultation

Women's Health Strategy: Call for Evidence

It then says:

Applies to: England

AND

This survey is open to individuals aged 16 and over in England only.
