You must not be seeing well. It reads just fine to me!Damnit.. that's supposed to be OUR bodies! Fucking hell man

Your insurance, dr, and local area really affect the level of care and that is bullshit. If you are not a smart person who can fend for themselves, you will likely not get the treatment you need and deserve.
It may be bullshit, but isn't that just, like...life?

This is freaking me out.I'll start off with some information about endometriosis
For women the bullshit goes beyond the usual our medical system is fucked level of bullshit.
Doctors have an admitted bias against women in terms of trusting patient reported information. The stigma of "hysteria" still lingers. If a woman claims a 7 pain level most doctors will treat at 3-4 pain level. Women will self report important ailments that need further testing only to be told she over reacting or attention seeking. What should evoke concern and a handful of referrals for further diagnostic testing get brushed away.
Not for men, not when it comes to reproductive health/rights.
Two completely different standards. It's fucking bullshit and it's ruined my life in several ways. I just keep waking up because that's my only option. But really? My reproductive system and my attempts to tame the piece of shit have caused me immeasurable trauma. I live with chronic pain in my uterus/ovaries and I suffer from PTSD from the loss I've experienced because of it.
If I had found a doctor at 19 who would have removed my fallopian tubes and/or uterus I would have a significantly higher quality of life, because I wouldn't be in this physical and psychological pain *constantly*.
