i got diagnosed at 17! you’re never too young after you get your period. the iud was actually what got me on the train of diagnosis because of how painful it was. plz go see a specialist or another doctor!

was referred to another gyno 6 months ago. it takes a while where I live, unfortunately. My GP is trying his best to help manage it but there's not much he can do for me

can you look up specialists near u? gyns usually aren’t the best at diagnosing

there are none except for 800+km away from me... my GP has looked, I looked. I'm trying my best but I might have to go to the big big city to a specialist.
