1 year agoThat sucks, I’m sorry. Not sure why I’m surprised that people would use the more archaic definition just for cruelty’s sake
I’ve actually had the opposite happen: my endo was diagnosed by a male doctor and he was great, but I’ve since gone through several consultants of both genders who just don’t give a flying fuck. I wonder if it’s the case that if your female doctor experiences their period as minor discomfort, then they might actually be more dismissive? So it’s basically the luck of the draw in my experience, and it’s so exhausting having to keep trying to get someone to care.
Side note, the amount of times getting pregnant has been suggested is incredible. I don’t want kids, but even if I did, using them as a ‘cure’ is a terrible reason to bring a person into the world.
