I feel annoying to my gynecologist

I feel like I see this man every few months. It started with my PCOS diagnosis a year ago. I was put on metformin and had my metformin check up to see how if it was helping or not helping and it was (I lost 70lbs) then I had an IUD inserted. Then I found out my ex of 7 years cheated and gave me and STI so he tested and treated that for me. Then I saw him at my annual and during my pelvic exam he found a huge cyst and then dealt with that. And then finally I had a long period when I didn’t have to go see him, then I developed BV. Went to see him, got that taken care of.

I have a new partner and thought I had another STI all over again and got tested but it was just BV which thank god was just as easy to get rid of. That was literally 2 weeks ago.

Now I am having the same pain again that I did last time when I had a large cyst.

I know PCOS and an IUD are a bad idea, but I can’t do any other form of birth control. I have tried them all, it was ALL HELL until I found the IUD. I also have suspected endometriosis(but he won’t do surgery until I’m TTC) and the IUD helps control the massive amount of bleeding I have. Before the IUD my period would last up to 14 days with horrific pain and extremely heavy bleeding until I would become anemic and sick. The only problem is, I think it’s making me develop these large cysts which would be different if they really didn’t cause any issue but pain here and there but my last one was hemorrhagic and ruptured and I bled out into my internal organs and spent 5 hours in the ER being shot up with morphine.

I have always had PCOS like it doesn’t just pop out of nowhere, I have seen my polycystic ovaries on ultrasound before I even had my IUD. But only after the IUD is when I started to develop large problematic cysts.

So I want to make yet ANOTHER APPOINTMENT to see if this is really a cyst which will include another pelvic exam and ultrasound and if it’s another large hemorrhagic cyst I’m having it surgically removed because I’m not willing, at ALL to experience another cyst rupture. I wasn’t willing to have surgery last time and paid the consequences.

This is just a little rant of how I’m literally up my gynecologists ass because my reproductive organs are high maintenance as hell and feel annoying

Lmfao right. This guy is so good though he’s overflowing with patients. He and his wife are like board certified something and complete badasses and it’s hard to find the kind of care that they give

I’m sorry your gynecologist makes you feel this way. I had one who refused to look into why my cycles were irregular and just kept pushing me to get on birth control “to regulate them” even though I had told him how birth control worsens my depression and gives me chronic yeast infections. I switched to a midwife who diagnosed my PCOS after one appointment, an ultrasound, and a blood test. Ever since then, I’ve always gone to midwives and they’ve always listened to my concerns and taken them seriously.Perhaps you should look into switching to a different gynecologist or midwife?

Midwives are Women’s healthcare professionals. There are Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) that work under a doctor and can help with anything regarding women’s health. I saw a midwife at 17 to get on birth control and for my first vaginal exams. I saw a midwife at 21 to find out what was wrong with my cycles (PCOS) and to help me work out a treatment plan, as well as prenatal counseling. And now I see a midwife while pregnant, and will continue to see them after for regular well Women’s visits. 🥰

I thought a midwife is only someone you can get while pregnant?
