My gyno told me to quit complaining
I am 25 years old and I have always had very irregular periods. Well back in August while I was getting a CT on my lower abdomen they happen to see a 4cm cyst. So my primary doctor had me go in and get some ultrasounds. After getting the ultrasounds I go and see a a gynecologist, shes was so rude from the start. She walked in and said "I have no clue why they would even send you to me. You're a healthy 25 year old." I told her about the 4cm cyst they found and she said "yeah i saw that on your paper's thats normal for you." I asked her if she had gotten my ultrasound results back and she said yes but she hasnt looked at them and wasnt going to because i was young. I asked her to go look at them just to make sure everything was fine. Not even 2 minutes later she came back and said I had two big cyst on my ovaries but thats normal. Then told me she was going to do a papsmear. Walked out so i could get ready DIDNT KNOCK just walked right back in. Did her thing. I asked her if it was normal for me to go 1 to 6 months sometimes a year without a period and she said YES ITS NORMAL. I asked her if it was normal for sex to hurt really bad sometimes like my husband was stabbing my ovaries and she said YES. I asked if it was normal for me to have the most unbearable period pains and she said YES. I asked her if it was normal to sometimes have a 6 day long period the next time 3 then the next time 7 days or even having two period in one month and she told me "____ youre 25 years old you have been dealing with your period longer than you havent quit complaining and deal with it. This is what its like being a girl." After that she left the room i got dressed and my primary doctor called me to tell me that she just got my ultrasound results and I have PCOS and I need to call and get my appointment with my gynecologist moved up sooner. I told her i was at the gynecologist at the moment and she just told me i was completely healthy and i only had two cyst. My primary doctor than told me i had 5 cyst in my left ovary and 6 in my right. This is why i never told a doctor what i was going through because i didnt want them to treat me so poorly and she did..
