Like if you go to the doctor for problems in relation to your period or pain in the area of your uterus, or like extreme mood swings, or acne etc they’ll tend to just do birth control which can help sometimes but it also sucks because it messes with your hormones and it doesn’t always guarantee it’ll work or solve the problem. I’m sure OP means they wish there was more options available than just messing with hormones and hoping for the best

Really? That’s interesting, a lot of women I know (myself included) have gone to their doctors with pain and have only been prescribed bc. And I told my doctor there was a long family history of endometriosis, fibroids, and ovarian cancer
