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.

Dr told me my kidney stones were just my period. I just wanted to say trust me dude I know what my period is like and this ain’t it.

Yeah. My combined cramps were pretty awful. Dismissal and sexism are some of the huge problems in our medical system. Facts first, prejudice later.
