Embarrassing Bodies

The Embarrassing Illnesses clinic is open for business to tackle the medical problems that people would rather ignore than take to a doctor. Nothing is too shameful or shocking, as this series explores the conditions and ailments that leave many of us a little red-faced, and aims to de-stigmatise common complaints.

In this episode the doctors focus on Breasts. Being seen by the doctors tonight: Alison Mitchell whose enormous double J breasts have ruined her life and caused terrible back pain.

All about vaginas, lots of emphasis is placed on the importance of getting your pap smear (aka: 'smear' in the UK). Also, common female issues including changes that can occur after childbirth.

This episode features on men, who are reluctant to ever visit their doctor. So to make life easier for them, this week the doctors set up clinic in a room behind the bar of Gloucester Rugby Club, on Match Day.
