my doctor dismissed me
Need to rant for a sec. I just had my post op appointment with my OB that did my surgery. Initially he had told me that one lesion was removed and one was left because it sat over my ureter and he didn't want to risk removing it. Everything else was covered in scar tissue and was pulling my uterus towards the right.
Today he made it sound like he didnt actually excise anything. So I'm looking at my surgical notes and it just notes the one active lesion on the ureter and scarring on everything else. So he didn't actually remove anything at all.
When he told me next steps he said my options were progestin only bc, medically induced menopause, or get pregnant. 🙄
I brought up the fact that a lot of patients are seeing improvements on micro doses of glp1 therapies, noting the new studies that have come out citing 64% of patients saw decrease of symptoms, unrelated to weight. So I asked him, have you personally seen any patients who this has helped? He immediately shut me down and said he doesn't subscribe to those and doesn't follow any of the research related to it. It's not part of the best practices of gynecological medicine so why would he pay attention to it.
It's not like I even asked him if I could be put on it. I just asked if he had seen it in his practice. So he doesnt have any idea if any of his patients have had success cause he wouldnt even awknowledge it if they did!
Anyway, I'm feeling bummed that he didn't actually remove anything during my lap and he doesnt have any good options for me moving forward and didnt even schedule any additional appointments. Just said I'm good to go. I'm really glad I have a diagnosis now, but I still feel a little defeated.
