"As it was"

About: Vine Medical Group

I met the practitioner for the 1st time at this appointment. I was going to have a ring fitted for a prolapse.

We went through the protocols and then I got ready to be examined.

As she was about to examine she said she had 15 years experience. I hadn’t asked for this information and didn’t know what to say. I just said that’s good you’re very experienced.

The examination continued and my grade 3 prolapse was reduced to 2.

And she didn’t think I needed a ring as it would give me more issues.

She also said I just needed to use the oestrogen medication and not the canasten as prescribed by my previous GP the previous week.

I left a little muddled and needed time to think. I felt she was quite forceful and was stating what she thought was what I needed.

I didn’t write this review until now as I needed time.

I have another thrush issue which the person reading my new request to the surgery. The reply I got by stated - what was said in my last appointment- that means I couldn’t get help until I started the whole process again that led to the appointment I am reviewing!

3 appointments later and I’m no better - and still in vaginal discomfort since 23rd June. Today is 15th August.

I stated in my last request I wanted to know why at my age I am getting thrush or whatever this is???

I’m not happy and still in discomfort.

The surgery needs to do better.

Could I have high levels of sugar causing this? This happened to my nan who I cared for in her seventies.

Dear Debra,

Thank you for leaving us your comment. I'm sorry to hear you're not happy and still in discomfort.

I'm sure the practitioner you saw was just trying to reassure you with mentioning her experience, and trying to put you at ease.

If you are still having symptoms please don't hesitate to contact us for another review.

Kind Regards,

Vine Medical Group
