I’m writing about a cervical biopsy and conisation Maria performed in 2023 and 2024. During the procedures, I felt rushed, exposed, and not treated with the sensitivity or communication that such intimate care requires. I received little explanation of what to expect or how to express discomfort, and I left feeling frightened, mistreated and violated rather than reassured. What may have been routine for Maria has had lasting effects on my body and mind. Since then, I’ve developed severe chronic pelvic and back pain, with tingling sensations that make sitting, walking, or lying down extremely painful. When I tried to discuss this at a follow-up visit, I did not feel heard or taken seriously. After seeing many specialists, it wasn’t until 2025 that a pelvic-floor physiotherapist in Spain identified significant pelvic-floor hypertonicity— very likely linked to trauma from the painful and traumatic experience. For the first time, I felt understood. These events have deeply affected my quality of life and trust in gynaecological care. I share this in hope that it leads to more compassion, clear communication, and trauma-informed care during intimate procedures from Maria's side.
