Bro YES omg. I had a weird hormone issue a few years ago that had me bouncing between my primary doc & specialists. Every time one of the specialists sent me back to my primary, he was visibly mad that I was STILL bothering him with "menstrual issues" when i should be with the gyno/endocrinologist/ent/gastro/whatever

my ex doctor (emphasis on ex) said i was overweight so i asked how to lose weight and he laughed at me and said “calorie deficit” but i didn’t know much about it so i asked how many calories i should eat a day and he just acted sooo inconvenienced… like im sorry am i not paying you??

i grew a cyst on my labia. i’ve never had one before so i was freaking out that it was somethin nefarious. doc told me it doesn’t need to be drained bc it’s not close to rupturing but that i should take antibiotics. then all of a sudden she randomly starts trying to aggressively pop it to the point i’m in tears w pain. i asked her to stop several times n she didn’t. then afterwards she said it was developed bc i wipe back to front but i’ve never done that in my life.

i said i don’t do that and asked if there’s anything else that could’ve caused it and she gave me a look like i just lied to her face. so i repeated myself (still crying btw) and she goes “well it could’ve been from a cut while shaving and other bacteria” but then on my discharges she put instructions on how to wipe 💀 it was so traumatic honestly i’m reeling 😭

omfgggg that’s so frustrating bc it’s so hard and expensive to see one doctor one time let alone go back over and over for the same issue 😭😭

broooo they always blame everything on weight but i have a strong theory that the majority of doctors (esp male docs) have no actual idea of what a healthy woman’s weight is 😒 idc if it sounds insane but i think they’re just as brainwashed by the media as the general population 😤

and most men think 120lbs is a healthy weight for all women when in reality it’s probably only healthy for like 10% of women 😭

Unfortunately a lot of issues DO arise from women not knowing how to properly wipe but she should’ve just left it at that once you said you knew how. Im sorry :(

no really i think you should. also to protect other ppl from having that same experience going forward. she should not be in a position to administer care while acting like that

ye and i get that! but my cyst is also super forward near the hood so i don’t even see how that was a reasonable assumption to make?
