Benign gynaecology' terminology downplays reproductive health conditions, risking treatment de-prioritisation
Conclusion
The use of terminology such as ‘benign gynaecology’ downplays the impact of reproductive health conditions and risks de-prioritising them for treatment that could significantly improve patients’ health and lives.
