Track your symptoms between appointments so nothing gets missed when you finally see your GP.

What you'll get from these guides

Hi, I’m Dr Sylvia Kama-Kieghe, a UK-based NHS and private Women's Health GP with years of experience supporting women through intimate vulval and vaginal health problems.

Through my AskAwayHealth.org platform, I’ve answered thousands of questions from women concerned about problems related to the vulva and vagina.

You’ll receive my: Private Vulval & Vaginal Symptom Diary and Doctor Conversation Script

Inside, you’ll find:

  • A printable symptom diary so you don’t miss important details

  • Clear prompts on what to write down and when

  • Conversation starter scripts to make appointments less awkward

  • A simple pre‑appointment checklist so you feel prepared

  • Reassuring reminders that you deserve to be taken seriously

This diary does NOT diagnose, but it helps make your in‑person assessment much more useful.

How to Use the Diary

  • Print it out or save it on your phone

  • Fill in a new line each time you notice a change

  • Bring it with you to your appointment

  • Use the conversation scripts if you feel nervous about what to say

Even if you can’t answer every box, writing down “something” is better than trying to remember everything in the moment.
