NHS medical staff need to “take women seriously” when it comes to health problems, TV stars Vicky Pattison and Naga Munchetty told MPs as they shared their experiences of feeling dismissed.
Pattison, who came to fame on the reality show Geordie Shore, said she felt “stupid and ashamed”, while BBC Breakfast presenter Munchetty recalled being told to “suck it up” since she was a teenager as they both tried to get a diagnosis and treatment for menstrual and gynaecological issues.
