Do you know how to advocate for yourself when you're in pain and a doctor isn't taking it seriously?

This September, The Eve Appeal's Painfully Aware campaign is tackling exactly that. All month they're sharing information on the pain-related symptoms of the five gynaecological cancers — and practical tools to help you track your symptoms and speak up in appointments.

Because unexplained pain matters. Abdominal or pelvic pain, lower back pain, pain during s*x, periods that are more painful than normal for you — these are symptoms worth talking to your GP about.

You deserve to be heard. And the earlier gynaecological cancer is found, the better the outcome.

📣 Keeping the conversations going about cancer!

A great day talking to local residents in London Borough of Havering about cancer screening, signs and symptoms and support for people living with cancer.

Thank you Age UK for another fantastic event! It's always good to speak to our residents face-to-face and hear about their cancer concerns and questions. It also helps us to keep the awareness going and remind people to attend their cancer screening appointments!

September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month, and pain is something we don't talk about enough.

Unexplained pain can be a symptom of a gynaecological cancer. That includes abdominal or pelvic pain, lower back pain, vulval or vaginal pain or discomfort, pain during s*x, and periods that are more painful than is normal for you.

These symptoms don't mean you definitely have cancer. But they do mean you should speak to your GP — and not wait to see if they pass.

This month, our friends at The Eve Appeal are getting Painfully Aware. Throughout September they're sharing information on pain-related symptoms across all five gynaecological cancers, advice on how to advocate for yourself when speaking to a doctor about pain, and a pain diary to help you track your symptoms.
