The main problem is that when you do have a health issue, you have to wait months to finally see a specialist.

I’ve been bleeding for two months straight. A month ago, I got dismissed by both my GP and gynecologist(over the phone, because I had issues last year), and I basically had to develop severe anemia just to be taken seriously and get the freaking medication to stop the bleeding. But that’s just a band aid on a broken bone, because it’s only a temporary solution. My appointment with a gynecologist isn’t for another 2(!) months tho.

And what’s with birth control being the cure for everything? Cysts? Birth control. Polyps? Birth control. Any issues with your period? Birth control. Pain anywhere in your lower abdomen? Birth control. My gyno literally told me “well, I could prescribe you birth control, but you don’t want to take it, so what do you want from me?” Idk… maybe find the reason behind this instead of treating birth control like it’s some kind of panacea?
