My OBGYN is not great and it’s taken me three years to realize it.
It took me three years to realize my OBGYN sucks. Granted I’m 15, so I see a pediatric OBGYN. Here’s all the things that mark me for endo: my mom has it, I have 14 day periods with extremely heavy flow and 28 day cycle, painful deification and pain when bladder is fully empty/emptying, really bad cramps on front in back that feels like being stabbed with blade, my periods would make me sick and have migraines and make me miss school. Anyway, onto why I think she’s bad… In January I was in for a pelvic exam and a refill on nuva rings. The exam was really painful. And I didn’t immediately convey that so my mom says I wasn’t in that much pain. (Not super important) but the ob said the entire reason I felt like this is because a muscle was tight and she thought I was constipated. So she only gave me three options: pelvic floor therapy, muscle relaxers, or an IUD. My mom says she lets me pick my own choices but didn’t like the options because she tried them and didn’t help. I’m just kinda upset that it’s all she offered. Maybe it’s just me.
