    It’s not just Gyns that do this Drs in every field gaslight unwell ppl. I was stage 4 first surgery for endo last surgery stage 2 but still suffer. And like most endo sufferers took me 10 years of crying about pain to get diagnosed. And the first surgery never relieved any of the pain or symptoms the second surgery did, but still suffering severe c-section and pelvic pain. And I’ve been trying to get a diagnosis for 22 years for severe butt, groin, hip and leg pain with snapping. I have a huge lump on my groin and hip the butt, groin and leg pain is so severe I can’t take it. I’ve been told by an expert that it sounds like piriformis syndrome, snapping hip or snapping hamstring syndrome. It doesn’t show on scans just like endo so because it doesn’t show I’ve been left like this pain so severe opioids barely touch it. And the dr that treats this condition that most drs don’t know about is cash only. I need help so bad I don’t know where to turn anymore I’m barely hanging on. If it wasn’t for Drs like Dr Folgelson a lot of endo women/girls would die and there’s so few like him. 🙏🏼😢💔

    It took me 24 years to get a diagnosis of Adenomyosis. They told me there was nothing wrong. And now that I have the diagnosis they can't treat in a safe way.

    Doctors should put their ego aside and believe us women who know something is wrong with our bodies and it's not in our heads!

      I am a male and suffered with chronic pain for years. I was told the same thing about it being in my head. The last doctor barely even examined me and just gave me what is referred to as a "waste basket diagnosis" and then told me my only option was pain management. So please don't act like it is only women who face this problem.

      I'm sorry to hear about your situation but I was not trying to say that it is only women who have pain and medical gaslighting. Here I'm talking about endometriosis, men cannot know how endometriosis feels like anyway, it is something they can never experience as nature won't allow it, so they often see us women, as being dramatic or say it all in our heads. But female doctors too won't believe us in many situations so it is not about the gender I'm talking here it is endometriosis and medical gaslighting. And when I say "women" it's because only women can get endometriosis. @@johnnastrom9400

    I was diagnosed with it with a diagnostic lapaoscopy. I was passing large clots in my cycle, heavy periods that would be longer than one week. having problems with nutritional deficiencies. Just keep trying to find someone who will take your case. My doctor was a fertility specialist surgeon. The diagnostic laparoscopy helped to find out exactly what was going on.

    I was gaslighted for years until a doctor took me seriously about my issues and come to find out that doctor saved my life i had to get a major surgery due to extreme endometriosis and i had three blockages in my colon due to it and had infused organs had my ovaries infused together with my flopen tubes wrapped around my ovaries and emergency rooms told me i just having cyst rupture and they send me home im so glad i found a doctor that took me seriously or i most likely be dead by now with failing organs and a bowel obstruction forsure
    I almost got a colostomy bag thank god the doctors caught it in time or i would of had a colostomy bag for the rest of my life

    I’m on the depo injection because I keep being gaslighted time and time again for over a decade by many medical professionals. They recently found evidence of endometriosis on an internal scan but because it was gone the next time they said I don’t have endometriosis. That’s why I put myself on the depo injection because I was getting more and more debilitated even though I was doing everything I could to naturally treat it. Now I’m able to function better. I still get symptoms but nowhere near as badly as I did

    For example: I saw a male doctor OBGYN doctor, who wanted to fully give me a hysterectomy based on if I could have one and he said yes... But also wanted me to come into the clinic prior to that to have my entire uterus scraped out without anesthesia or pain medicine ie take 600 plus milligrams of Tylenol.. In which a midwife would be doing this and not him... And then when I went in for that procedure I stopped it before it happened and he totally ignored me, He was on his phone, He seemed more interested in his phone and actually verbally stating oh I lost that phone call blah blah blah in the middle of my f****** private time with him as a doctor! And then I went to see a female doctor at a different campus with the same network... And she wanted to scrape out my uterus as well but she offered me anesthesia and told me that I would be under and I would come out of it and they would test the tissue.... I'm confused I'm where communication lays in this entire situation!! Absolutely dumbfounded, And absolutely try and not to disrespect the doctors trying to give me care wondering why they seem so f****** scared when they come in the room and want to do something..
