A PATIENT EXPERIENCE PROJECT IN GYNECOLOGY.
Take the surveys below and share your #patientexperience 👇
ANTHROPOLOGY OF GYNAECOLOGY IS A PERSONAL, NON-PROFIT RESEARCH PROJECT ON WOMEN'S HEALTH AND THEIR #PATIENTEXPERIENCE.
​
I EXPLORE WOMEN'S EXPERIENCES AS GYNECOLOGY PATIENTS FROM AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE.
THROUGH ETHNOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES, I ANALYSE THE MEDICAL PRACTICES, CULTURAL BELIEFS AND SOCIAL DYNAMICS THAT INFLUENCE OUR HEALTH AND GYNECOLOGICAL WELLBEING AS WOMEN.
​
MY AIM IS TO GENERATE AWARENESS, INFORMATION, PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY AND CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVING THE PATIENT EXPERIENCE IN GYNECOLOGY FROM A MULTIDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE.
​​
TBH, IT IS A STRONG AND CHALLENGING PROJECT, READY TO CHANGE THE WORLD,

#PATIENT
EXPERIENCE
IN GYNECOLOGY
The patient experience is essential in the field of healthcare. Each person has a unique and personal story that intertwines with their physical and emotional well-being.
Focusing on the patient experience entails providing person-centered care, actively listening, respecting individual needs, and promoting informed participation.
By valuing and understanding the patient experience, a bond of trust is established, fostering more humane and effective medical care. This approach recognizes the importance of empathy, open communication, and collaboration in the healthcare process.
Through the dissemination of surveys on social media, in companies, colleges, and high schools, I have obtained a sample of hundreds of responses from gynecology patients of all ages.
​
With this collected data, I have conducted not only a quantitative but also a qualitative analysis using discourse analysis techniques.
​
Furthermore, I have applied ethnographic methodology techniques by conducting in-depth interviews (in person, over the phone, and on FaceTime) and engaging in participant observation in discussion groups. In some instances, I organized the groups myself, while in others, they were facilitated in an online forum.
​
Simultaneously, I have distributed a questionnaire among medical professionals and have had the opportunity to interview some doctors.

Vol. #1
YOU, YOUR PERIOD
& EVERYTHING ELSE
In a world where there is still a certain stigma and taboo around periods, it is time to change the rules of the game.
Let's normalise talking about the period.
It's time to create an environment where we all feel comfortable seeking support and sharing our experiences.

vol. #2
Me & the pill.
Knowing the actual experience of patients taking the pill is a really important issue.
​
A poor quality of #patientexperience can result in women who are poorly informed about the side effects of the pill, both emotionally and physically.
​
It is essential to listen to women to find out which side effects they suffer the most, which ones worry them the most, and what they really feel when they visit their gynaecologists and talk about it.

Vol. #3
Endo, PcOS, menopause, infertility... wtfgdasjh!?
Many women take years to discover that they suffer from endometriosis, PCOS or other conditions related to female reproductive health...
​
Why?
​
There are several reasons why this can happen, and they are closely linked to the patient's experience.
​
Here are some key factors:
​
1. Taboo and lack of education about menstruation: Not talking openly about these issues during puberty makes early recognition of health problems difficult.
​
2. Doctors assume certain symptoms as normal: Symptoms of endometriosis, PCOS and other menstrual-related conditions are too often mistaken for normal symptoms of the menstrual cycle.
​
3. Normalisation of pain: Point 2 has a major influence on this factor. Many women believe that severe pain is "something normal". As a result, they do not seek medical help until the pain interferes so much with their quality of life that it even affects other parts of the body, which is why the disease is discovered.
​
4. Misdiagnosis: Because of points 2 and 3, women are initially misdiagnosed and assume the diagnosis to be true.
​
5. Barriers to care: Lack of access to specialists trained in menstrual disorders or lack of open and empathetic communication by health professionals hinders timely diagnosis and treatment.

my endo, my story
Endometriosis is a painful, difficult and silenced disease. Today you can make it start to sound, so that little by little it becomes less difficult, and your pain can be shared by all of us.
