How to Make Your Doctor Listen: Cherry Healey on the Symptoms Women Ignore

Have you ever gone to the doctor knowing something wasn’t right, only to feel dismissed?

Women’s health advocate Cherry Healey joins Claire Sanderson on Just As Well to explain why women are still struggling to be heard—and how to advocate for yourself when your symptoms aren’t being taken seriously. They discuss recurrent UTIs, the perimenopause symptoms too often mistaken for depression, why heart problems can be missed in women and the signs we should never simply “put up with”.

Cherry also shares her own experience of fighting for UTI treatment, the HRT prescription that changed her life and the practical steps you can take to make your voice heard in the consulting room.

This episode contains a discussion of suicide.
