Helpful tools to help you track symptoms, reflect on your health and say yes to your health.

Your health shouldn’t be an afterthought.
It’s a priority.

Women’s Health Week is a national initiative by Jean Hailes for Women’s Health, encouraging women and those assigned female at birth to prioritise their wellbeing — without guilt, shame, or silence.

At Hazel, we’re standing alongside this message — and expanding it. Because too often, conditions like pelvic pain, endometriosis, PMDD or perimenopausal symptoms are downplayed, misdiagnosed, or ignored altogether.

This week, we’re saying yes to better care, yes to being believed, and yes to you — 
your voice, your body, your health.

Women’s Health by the numbers

Behind every number is a story – and often, a delay,  a dismissal, or misdiagnosis. These stats highlight the health realities many women face every day — and why saying YES to better care, earlier answers, and being heard  matters more than ever.
