We sit down with Jocelyn, who at 36 went into premature menopause, and years later underwent a hysteroscopy a procedure she was wholly unprepared for. What followed was agonising pain, zero adequate warning, and a long road to discovering she was far from alone. Jocelyn found her way to  Hysteroscopy Action , a UK campaign fighting for patients' rights to proper pain relief and informed consent and she's here to help make sure you're better informed than she was. Together we unpack what a hysteroscopy is, why so many women are still suffering needlessly, and the question we simply won't let go of: if this were a procedure routinely performed on men, would "take a paracetamol" ever be considered adequate? We also catch up on our week and chat about our new BFF  Jane Green  and her hotly anticipated memoir  Rewilding , out in June one to pre-order immediately. Plus, we close with some beautiful inspiration to carry you through the week. ๐ŸŒฟ Whether you've had a hysteroscopy, have one coming up, or simply want to understand why the gender pain gap is still very much alive this episode is for you. โ˜• SUBSCRIBE for honest chats on womenโ€™s health, feminist issues, sisterhood & smashing the patriarchy, one cuppa at a time. ๐Ÿ’› Enjoying the podcast?
