• Women' and 'woman' quietly omitted from NHS' advice about the menopause
• Online guidance used to refer to women six times in overview about condition
• Comes amid row about gender-neutral terms overcomplicating health advice

The NHS has ditched the terms 'women' and 'woman' from its menopause
guidance, despite ministers promising to crackdown on woke gender-free
language in medical advice.

Last month, MailOnline revealed how NHS Digital had quietly scrubbed all
mention of women from its landing pages for ovarian, womb and cervical
cancer.



But the new version omits women from the overview entirely. Experts have
warned women could be disadvantaged by de-gendered medical advice
confusing health messaging
Sajid Javid said he is prepared to wage war against gender-free language
after he demanded the NHS stop dropping the word 'women' from its online
health advice.

The minister has repeatedly said he does not agree with the health service
removing the word from its ovarian cancer guidance webpage.
