First, I’d like to say that I just listened to the episode of Ologies where you, Shan Boody, were a guest speaker and I absolutely enjoyed listening to that podcast.
My question is about endometriosis. I have pretty bad cramps during my menstrual cycle and recently (the last few years) I’ve been having sharp pains during intercourse. My physician thinks it’s endometriosis and sent me to see an gynecologist last year. However, the gynecologist only saw me for a few minutes and chalked it up to my vagina being small and told me it’s a spacing issue and told me there’s nothing she could do for me and brushed me off. However, I’ve been with the same partner for 7 years and the pain only started recently. How can I get a doctor to take my pain more seriously? It’s starting to become a problem in our sex life.
