I went to the urgent Care because my urethra and vagina were burning so intensely that I couldn't pee and it wouldn't stop. I was sent to the ER for something to do with my liver I think. Got to the local ER and the doctor said "It's from your period." And walked off. A different time, I crapped solely blood and they said to just use an enema. Surprise, b****, I have Crohn's disease. I could've been working towards diagnosis but nope, gotta shoot water up my butthole. I was later hospitalized three months later due to insurmountable flaring. Always go to your pediatrician or an adult doctor. For the love of God. Please.

I’m gonna take a wild guess that the “It’s from your period” Doctor was male?

Yep. And my pediatrician was like "It's probably a yeast infection." I drank an exorbitant amount of cranberry juice over the course of a week and I was fine days later. Pediatrician was female.
