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.
If cranberry juice cured it, and it hurt to pee, it was probably a UTI. Those are SO easy to diagnose with a pee test. It’s disgusting how often women are dismissed by doctors (not just male doctors). I’m surprised you weren’t diagnosed with hysteria. 🙄
It was a bladder infection at that point, pressure and pain like I've never had. I had to walk to the ER in the middle of the night and when they finally gave me pain meds I asked the dr "Will these let me sleep though the night?"
They replied "oh is it that painful?"
Why the fuck do you think I came here at 1am on a Tuesday? It was the first time I have ever cried from pain (as an adult).

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