bad obgyn experiences 😭😭
just here to vent bc my mom thinks i’m overreacting...
the last two visits to my dr have been bc of UTIs. i’ve had two this year so far. i’m not sure if that’s considered chronic or not, but regardless i’ve gone in both times for medication bc well... they fcking hurt!!! the past two times i’ve had the same dr and each visit has left me feeling so judged. she doesn’t help me understand why i get them.. ever since my first visit in february i per after sex. EVERY. TIME. i’ve cut down on caffeine/sugary drinks. she asked me how i thought i got my uti this time and i stated i went on a vacation and was drinking alcohol. and that maybe my alcohol to water intake wasn’t good enough to prevent it. well anyway she’s going thru the antibiotics and blah blah.... but this is when my jaw just hit the floor. as she’s leaving the room she LAUGHS and goes “take care of urself”
reading that you probably don’t think much of it.. but it was the WAY she laughed and said that. like i’m getting uti’s on purpose or not taking care of myself ?? i’m just in shock i guess that a dr could be so unprofessional about myself and my body. i even thought it was a cyst at one point bc my back and left ovary area hurt.. didn’t do a pelvic exam and just left me w “it’s just another uti”
i’m so frustrated 😭 i feel like there is something else wrong w me and that nobody is listening
