Bravery only women know

BBC Five Live presenter Naga Munchetty bravely reveals she suffers from the rarely diagnosed condition adenomyosis, which leaves women with agonising, pain during their periods. Doctors dismiss it, as both she and I found out.

After my third scan the nurse said I should stop wasting NHs time. I went private and was told the condition was so severe the only ‘cure’ was a hysterectomy — a bitter pill to swallow as I desperately wanted children. am just thinking that if a man was living in such pain, NHs staff may have been a bit more sympathetic and diligent.
