Could we please have a gynae/women's health section?

I was surprised to find recently when wanting to start a thread on issues surrounding difficulty getting referrals/diagnosis that there isn't a women's health/gynae section.

I know there's a 'family planning' section but many gynae issues cause infertility/inability to stay pregnant so people with these issues may not want to be dealing with seeing that title or using that section?

Plus there's so much more to women's health than pregnancy/fertility.

Yep think this would be a big help!

I had surgery today due to Gynae issues so would be keen for this section to be created. Thanks Mumsnet.

Yes please.

Yes!

Yes good idea

I think this is a great idea - it was my gynae problems that led me to MN via Google. Pregnancy/fertility was not a factor for me, so a general topic would have made it easier for me to find relevant threads following on from the first one; rather than, say, many endo-related threads I looked at being specifically related to fertility.

These days I feel more at home in the menopause section, but yes it's a good idea.

AnnUnderTheFryingPan · 07/06/2018 17:18

Yes, it’s a really good idea.

Cocolepew · 07/06/2018 17:17

Hi Graphista,

Thanks so much for the suggestion. You're absolutely right - there is a lot more to women's health and we'd be more than happy to consider a new topic in this remit.

As ever with new topics, we need to know that enough people will use it before we open it so we're going to be watching this thread for a while.

Would anyone else be interested in this topic? If so, please show some support here!
