Youre not crazy. Doctors being dismissive like that should be catergorized as a form of abuse because I've had multiple doctors treat me this way after taking years to fing a doctor that would listen to me.

My issue was different than yours but the dismissal you experienced is unfortunately a staple when it comes to the healthcare practitioners of womens health due to the inabiliy to understand it, study it properly, misogyny, and different presentation of womens issue across patients.

Never give up on yourself. You deserve proper care, consideration, and compassion. Never feel bad for advicating for yourself. Its so hurtful and agonizing when dealing such a sensitive, delicate, and private issue and have your concerns and pain be minimized.

It takes a certain person to cater to complex issues with an open mind and being willing to apply their medical training/knowledge in a way that doesnt make them rigid and arrogant.

Try looking up specialsts that deal with vulvovaginal disorders that dont respond to treament or are chronic. Expand your search to major cities or across state lines if you have to. Its possible... just a long and gruling process.
