About: Southend Hospital / Gynaecology

Saw a consultant about a very sensitive condition. The consultant didn't listen to anything I was trying to tell them, and was very rude. The consultant continued talking to me while I was trying to get dressed after an internal examination. At one point the consultant popped their head round the curtain still talking about a load of nonsence instead of listening to my problem . The consultant told me that I must do pelvic floor excercises for 45 mins per day. I said I had been doing this for last 6-7 months as often as I could .The consultant told me I was a liar and hadn't been doing these excercises. I was told I was overweight and need to lose 2 stones in weight

I am 5ft 3ins size 10-12 and weigh 10 stone and I'm 59 years old . Would never go near this doctor again . Shame on them. Just aswell as my follow up appointment came through for the middle of January 2018
