Summary
Do you see female patients? Do they have painful periods? Pain pre or post their periods? Painful sex? Do they suffer chronic pain, which may be intermittent or constant? Do they have pain when passing urine or with bowel movements? Is it painful to place a speculum for a smear test? Have you considered endometriosis?
The Royal College of Nursing has provided a factsheet for nurses with guidance on how to recognise symptoms, setting out pathways of care and signposts to useful online resources.
