like the lining of the womb grows in other parts of the body. now, a visit to parliament. she says she's trying to turn her pain into power, campaigning for more support for women's health. the delay in my care has cost me some of my major organs. it's mentally tormented me for most of my adult life because it's really difficult dealing with a condition where i look absolutely fine from the outside, but internally i'm just in despair. anna's had lots of treatment on the nhs, but says she's also gone into debt, paying £25,000 for private care. there is not a day that i don't wake up in pain. it's like somebody�*s got a chain wrapped around my stomach and it's just being pulled tighter and tighter, and it's crippling. like anna, vimbai mandaza

knows all about pain. other women have told us how living with gynaecology problems affects them. the impact on my life has been utterly devastating. i have liquid morphine on a probably on a day to day basis. it's so hard to live with. the symptoms don't stop. many have progressive conditions that get worse the longer they're left untreated. across the uk, gynaecology waiting lists have more than doubled since the start of the pandemic to over 750,000. it's hard to figure out exactly how many patients are on those lists, because some could be waiting for more than one appointment. our best estimate, though, is at least 630,000, probably considerably more. to give you an idea of what that could look like, if that was a physical queue of people lined up next to each other starting here, the beginning of the m4 motorway in london, it would stretch out for 160 miles. so that's past the west of england, into wales, past cardiff and as far as bridgend.

as a gynaecologist, i am helpless and frustrated. one of the reasons for these long—term waiting lists is the persistent gender bias. women's health is constantly deprioritised, so whenever there is a crisis, the first thing that is affected is non—cancer gynaecological conditions. there have been small dips in the gynaecology waiting list, but they're still stubbornly high. women being in pain and off work with these conditions has a wider cost to the economy, about £11 billion a year. so how will authorities get this 160 mile waiting list moving? nhs england says staff are working hard to cut long waits, and it's bringing in more women's health hubs in the community. governments from wales, scotland and northern ireland all say they're trying to improve things too.

anna is still on nhs waiting lists and in pain every day. my main source of positivity is my daughter. i have to keep going for her, i've got no choice. i don't want her generation to suffer the way i've suffered. catherine burns, bbc news. let's speak to anna cooper, she's the co—founder of the menstrual health project. we were wincing in pain as she took on smoothie experiences you have had, and it is incredibly brave of you to speak about this, important also, you are trying to take the experience and do something positive with it. you found in the project, what are you hoping to achieve? irate the project, what are you hoping to achieve? we are hoinu hoping to achieve? we are heping to _ hoping to achieve? we are hoping to improve - hoping to achieve? we are l hoping to improve education hoping to achieve? we are - hoping to improve education for all mental health concerns and conditions, because that is where it starts, better

education to hopefully then better the health care system —— menstrual help. we have a lack of understanding and it comes to these conditions. i've heard it time and again that where people just presume heard it time and again that where peoplejust presume it heard it time and again that where people just presume it is a bad period when it is so much more. ~ . ., ., i. a bad period when it is so much more. ~ . . ., i” “ more. what age do you think this education _ more. what age do you think this education is _ more. what age do you think this education is the - more. what age do you think this education is the start? l this education is the start? the average age of someone starting their period is aged 12, but we are as young as seven years old in the uk, starting periods now. my daughter is eight so i would hope the conversation would start talking about menstrual health from the age of eight but also to drip feed that through the years, so notjust one conversation and never revisiting it, but to build the information. so as a charity we create free educational resources for medical professionals, and these allow people to be aware of what is going on with their bodies. just in case something does

happen where they experience symptoms, they are able to advocate for themselves and feel empowered to do self. how rece tive feel empowered to do self. how receptive are — feel empowered to do self. how receptive are people _ feel empowered to do self. how receptive are people when you give them this kind of messaging, particularly when it comes to younger girls? incredibly receptive. we have had nothing but positivity. have been registered two years in february this coming february, and we get asked daily for our toolkit. to when we go into schools or workplaces, the conversation is always how they should have been done years ago and that we need to normalise the conversation about talking about everything to do with menstrual health. we do not have a choice whether we have periods or not, so we shouldn't have a choice whether not we are educated about it.- have a choice whether not we are educated about it. such an important _ are educated about it. such an important conversation, - are educated about it. such an important conversation, thankj important conversation, thank you, and good luck. just bring you a response from the government to say they are

taking steps to address these long waits for gynaecological treatment, increasing funding and implementing a ten year health plan to reduce waiting times. good to have you with as here on bbc news. we've got this area of low pressure developing to the west, this could bring some more substantial such snow for some of us tonight. for the time being, the weather is relatively quiet. snow showers affecting northern areas of scotland. 0vernight tonight, we'll see the rain turning to snow, it looks quite marginal in northern ireland, but the greatest risk will be over northern england where over the peaks in the pennines,
