    1. And although they are considered "minor", this is not to say that these problems are not potentially very uncomfortable.

      I have seen many instances where women that are in pain and are looking for treatment are often thought to be just overreacting. The word "minor" is listed here in reference to side effects, but it is acknowledged that the effects can be uncomfortable.

Having social services and accessible healthcare is very important for the individual in order to support them in the best way possible.
