Helpful tips when requesting a referral:

​

• Clearly describe symptom severity and impact on daily functioning

• Ask that suspected endometriosis or chronic pelvic pain be documented

• Inquire about pelvic pain or women’s health services where available

​

Experiencing delays or multiple referrals is common and not a reflection of the legitimacy of your symptoms.
