In Ireland today, thousands of women are living in quiet agony, juggling jobs, children, responsibilities, and relationships while managing chronic, debilitating gynaecological conditions.

These are not minor issues.

They are real, life-disrupting medical problems such as:

  • Endometriosis
  • Adenomyosis
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Uterine fibroids
  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Heavy or abnormal bleeding

And yet, the answer from our healthcare system is often the same:

“Wait.”
“Come back in six months.”
“Try a different pill.”
Or worse “That’s just how it is.”

A System Under Strain, Women Left Behind

Ireland’s gynaecology waiting lists are among the longest in Europe.

Recent figures show:

Over 40,000 women are currently waiting to be seen by a gynaecologist.
Many wait 12–24 months for an initial consultation.
Surgery, if needed, can take another year or more after that.
Diagnosis for conditions like endometriosis can still take 7 to 10 years on average.

And this isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s a crisis.

Every day of delay means a woman in pain.
A woman forced to work through bleeding or pain.
A woman doubting herself, her sanity, or her worth.

“I Was Treated Like I Was Overreacting.”

We hear this far too often.

Women being told their symptoms are “just hormonal.”
Being sent away with antidepressants or told to manage their stress.
Years later, they discover they were living with a condition that required surgery and one that could have been diagnosed and treated long ago.

In the meantime, the consequences are real:

  • Time off work
  • Lost earnings
  • Strain on relationships
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Missed opportunities to start a family
  • A constant sense of being ignored

There Is Another Option Without The Wait

What many women don’t realise is that you don’t have to wait.

Thanks to the EU Cross Border Directive, you are legally entitled to access gynaecological surgery in another EU country like Spain and the HSE will reimburse the cost, up to the price of treatment in Ireland.

At Surgery Now, we help Irish women access specialist gynaecological surgery in Spain often in just 2 weeks.

No consultant waiting list
No years of delay
No more being told to “just wait”
Just real answers and real care
