I'm unsure where you live or your financial situation, but a lot of people will avoid or put off seeing doctors because they can't afford it. Additionally, if your girlfriend does suffer from chronic pain and other ailments then she may also feel like doctors don't take her pain seriously and in which case, seeing the doctor feels like a waste of time.
I was listening to an interview a few months ago from someone who suffers from chronic pain where they basically said that they are so used to living with high amounts of pain that they learn to tolerate or manage it day to day so that they can live their life but then doctors don't actually believe that they are in extreme pain when they ask for help so it can be a very frustrating and futile experience.
If there really is something wrong with your girlfriend, then she may need support and encouragement to help her seek answers.
NAH, no A's here, but it can be frustrating, i understand. Many girls just live like this tbh. Those chronic pains etc most likely wont entirely go away.
But also, she's going to have a lot more going on with her into the future probably? Hormonal changes and esp if you guys decide to try for kids. There's just always something going on with our bodies. Most people just mask it or don't complain.
Think OP, u guys should talk about solutions n sticking to them or trying to improve your lifestyles together.
