Painful periods in teenagers linked to chronic pelvic pain in later life

Comment

Description

Period pain that interferes with life deserves more than “it’s normal.” A new study suggests adolescence may be an important window to notice risk earlier

Adolescence gynaecology can be a difficult minefield to navigate in the NHS as access gets harder, tests are limited and indemnity cover for surgeons to look for #endometriosis is costly 

Even the Zwig EndoTest is for 18+yrs olds 

So we have to ensure we listen, take pain seriously, ask what it’s stopping them from doing, and escalate persistent or disruptive symptoms.
Save this for your next consultation, and share it with a colleague who needs to hear: believe her first.
