Women suffer every month, knowing that certain days of the month you're going to have to stay at home or you're going to have a very difficult time at work.
We're investing so they know what is a healthy period and what's not, and that's so, so important for young people to know that.
I very much welcome the revised NICE guidelines that say that women who present with complaints regarding their periods should be referred to scanning very, very quickly.
