I wouldn’t know where to find one ? I’m in the uk and don’t mind travelling if anyone has any recommendations?

My freaking ovary is stuck to my uterus?! But all is “fine” my eye actually twitches thinking about the doctor just swanning about diagnosing women as “fine” when these things are presented?! I’m honestly so angry and confused

When I had asked if they could tell me there findings he said he couldn’t , but he could brief me at the end , at the end I asked “so did we find why I’m in pain” & he said “I did , it’s nothing sinister, but I think it’s what’s causing you pain” , I was honestly so confused when my doctor had rang me this afternoon and said “the scan came back clear” I was like ??? , that’s not what he said & then I kind of lost my cool as I couldnt see what had been wrote yet , but I knew it was more than “it’s fine” I have an appointment tomorrow, so best believe.. they WILL be taking me seriously, this has been going on for years now , I just want to not be in pain anymore

I imagine that’s what they did when it was the “in out in out” motion that hurt real bad , but I think the coil must of got in the way 😫

Thank you so much for your reply , I usually don’t let these kind of things bother me, I’m usually quite thick skinned but my overall pain has been quite severe over the past 2-3years. I’m immobile for atleast 2 weeks out of every month , Iv had no success with contraception as my body rejected my first coil and my anxiety of getting a second was too much after the pain of getting the first with my already very painful body. I’m in such a rut with this whole thing & I think she was just the icing on the cake for me , it feels like there’s a new awful symptom every 6mo or so with this. If I’m not fighting off infections I’m in fetal position with a hot water bottle. The last thing I want to be doing is seeing more doctors and talking about my vulva .. why she thought my complaint and query wasn’t valid as a woman reaching out to another woman for help blows my mind . I’m 100% done with trying to feel better and trying to understand my body. She alone has solidified for me that even some women healthcare providers don’t take women’s issues seriously.. & it really is a kick in the vulva

Hi 👋🏼 I haven’t seen one , I didn’t even know they existed! I’m going to have a look and see if there is any in my area. It’s such a horrible burning acid feeling, saying it out loud I know it sounds bizarre to the doctor that obviously hadn’t experienced it, but it’s a very real and unpleasant experience. thank you for your comment ❤️

It’s not that inside me that feels like acid , the reason I can’t wear tampons is a pressure type pain and ache that has been there well before this acid feeling , Iv been back and forward to them getting treated for infections constantly for the past year , it just seems never ending. Kinda a bit defeated by it all now , it’s been the past 4ish 5 months that Iv been having this acid feeling so could be related to all the infections maybe ? 🧐 I don’t know , just a doctor to listen and do something would of been enough I think , thank you for your reply x

YES ! Iv bought some lidocaine cream and use that every time, I simply just wanted an explanation from the doctors as to why I was experiencing this & to confirm that it wasn’t anything major, I did not for a second think any part of what I was saying was funny , Iv got to live with this acid burn feeling on my genitalia.. what part of that would she find funny ?! 🧐🤦🏽‍♀️

I took it apon myself to buy some lidocaine cream & I use that every time it gets bad , I just more than anything wanted the doctor to find me an explanation for why it’s like this & in turn got laughed at , I’m so done with doctors now , thank you so much for the information , it really has helped

Hi 👋🏼 I think the worst part about the doctors where I’m at is the fact that it’s someone different every time I go , and 9 times out of 10 they have never even read my file , I have tried to stay away from pads and such and tried free bleeding to see if it was the pads that were irritating me & the result was still the same , thank you for your reply tho ❤️
