🤔 very good article in the Guardian about the current lack of information and menopause support for women in the U.K.
Some very interesting points were raised about many women having to pay just to get the right HRT to help with their symptoms. Basically if you are a menopausal woman that doesn’t have deep pockets or a really good doctor that understands menopause your are efffed!
I think the same can be applied to Women’s Health in general especially around pelvic floor issues, healing after a hysterectomy, pre postnatal health too. Who is helping women who simply do not have the financial means to go and see a Menopause or Women’s Health expert 🤷🏾♀️? That’s why I laugh when I see some experts banging on or advising women to go private if their doctor can’t help. Well guess what sis not all women have the money to go down that route and that is the real injustice. 😔
That is why I literally cannot wait to start my peer support work in the next few months where I will be supporting black and brown mothers with their maternal health and postnatal well being. Where I can share my knowledge and help my community I will.
