The NHS in England is "failing women", the government's women's health ambassador has said.
Prof Dame Lesley Regan, appointed to support the Women's Health Strategy implementation, was speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live's Naga Munchetty.
Last month, Munchetty, 48, revealed she had been diagnosed with the womb condition adenomyosis, after waiting years in severe pain.
Dame Lesley said she wanted women to be able to self-refer to specialists.
Women and girls should not have to seek "permission [to] go and have your crippling menstrual pain sorted out", she said.
