A total of 42% of women said this was the case in a survey survey of over 2600 women with fibroids and endometriosis.
The results have been published by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Women's Health.
The paper also shows that 62% of women were not satisfied with the information that they received about treatment options for fibroids and endometriosis.
While, nearly 50% of women with fibroids and endometriosis were not told about the short- or long-term complications from their treatment.
The report says symptoms and concerns should be taken seriously; referral to specialist care should be timely; and information should be offered about all possible treatment options, side effects and complications.
Paula Sherriff MP, chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Women's Health, said: "If women cannot even get the right diagnosis and information about treatments, how can they possibly decide what is the best care for themselves?
"Women deserve every opportunity to take control of their own healthcare and this group is striving to empower women so they have this potential.
"The statistics in this report show that women are all too often dismissed by healthcare professionals when discussing their symptoms and choices.
"The fact that almost 50% of women did not feel that they were treated with dignity and respect is appalling."
