i hear you on the doctor issue. my family doctor since i was about 5 years old after putting me on bcp on and off since i was about 14 for my period issues still refused to even send me for an ultrasound, and i was having 3month long periods at the time. so i go to a couple other doctors and offices with the same issue and they do the same thing, put me on bcp and not look any further for anything. i move to the city finally and find a walk in clinic to go to for my typical period dilema, which now was accompanied by pain and much larger clots then normal, and also was at about the 4month mark, they didnt even hesitate to send me for an ultrasound. once i got the results for that they actually went ahead and got me a family doctor at their clinic to help me get a dx on my issue. it really just goes to show you that alot of these doctors dont really seem to care what you say. if you dont find help with your typical doctor then go somewhere else, or you need to be firm and bring information to back you up. i would really recommend getting a second opinion. it wont hurt and who knows, you may find a doctor that actually cares enough to search for the issue rather then try to band-aide it.
good luck, and message me anytime you need to vent about it. |
