Leading charity calls current advice inadequate as 42% of 12- to 18-year-olds say their period pains are severe

I didnt know what GPs were so the headline made me think of the horrible anti abortion stuff from the US. But im glad to hear that this topic is brought to light. A childhood friend of mine was in the “bedbound” category and its just horrible even just to witness. As a man its hard to imagine but being in pain to this degree every month would probably make me depressed.
Not knowing of this charity, I was gratified to learn that they seem to be the real deal.
GP -General Practioner. Usually just called Doctor. First point of care in the NHS.
Wait, there are GPs in the UK?
I’ve heard if you phone up at 7am each day, you might be gifted with an appointment for that day. GPs are a very rare sight though, I think they’re going extinct due to lack of funding

That would be great if you could actually get a GP appointment.
