Conventional medications such as painkillers or HRT, can be ineffective or come with debilitating side effects. Evidence suggests that more women are turning to alternative treatments such as cannabis-based treatments..

“The growing awareness that female physiological differences can lead to the misdiagnosis of conditions, highlights the need for clinical approaches that better account for these variations. Other conditions such as endometriosis can take up to seven years to be diagnosed, all the while the patient is passed from pillar to post and started on a plethora of medication in a hope that distress is alleviated.
