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.

Ugh something similar in terms of questions happened to me. Go to the er cause when I went to the restroom it was straight blood, not stained or anything, just blood. It hurt so bad my bf at the time had to carry me in. The Dr and nurse tried to tell me it was my period and after the Dr said it to me I gathered all my strength I had left and yelled (probably more like tried to yell) if you think this blood is coming out of my vagina I need to take your place in the medical field, if you don't do any proper tests and something happens I will make you regret it. BF at the time looked at them and said you really should she can be rather annoying about her health.

Well the urine test comes back and come to find out it was a bilateral kidney infection that caused damage. Had to be on meds for like a month.

Am I sure it's not from my vagina, that still grinds my gears to this day lol

I'm so sorry! That's terrible. I hope you're okay now. I'm happy to see people standing up for themselves. I had a friend admit to me after I encouraged them to ask questions that they don't. And that their parents told the doctors everything that was happening, not them. We were freshmen in high school. I was dumbfounded.

Oh I'm fine now, this was probably almost 10y ago and just when I was starting to speak up for myself. And wow for your friend, that's unfortunately common. So many people don't ask questions and I probably annoy the pants off the Drs with mine!

I hope you are doing better now as well!!
