How do women suffering domestic violence present to health workers?
Women rarely complain of being beaten. The typical health problems that women do complain of are:
• those that are the direct result of violence, for example cuts, bruises and other injuries;
• those due to the fear and unhappiness of living with a violent man – the mental health damage caused by violence, most commonly depression and anxiety, is much less obvious to health workers than the physical damage;
• sexual problems, such as sexually transmitted diseases and miscarriages.
