Need some support to manage a reproductive health situation

Hi ladies! I really need some support. I feel really scared. My menstruation is behaving super sus lately. It lasts longer and is more intense than usual. I did some tests and will do ultrasound tomorrow. Then I hope that my obgyn will prescribe me something to stop the bleading.

Similar thing has happen to me before and I had to be hospitalized with some phisically and psychologically traumatizing experiences happening there.

But this time I'm being smarter because I went to the doctor sooner and if she prescribes me some pills I might not need to go to the hospital. I have to see her this Fryday or next Monday.

I'm still terrified of the possibility of hospitalisation. I'm scared that I might incounter the same misogynistic and sadistic female doctor as in my previous hospitalisation. I'm afraid that in the life threatening situation I might not be able to stand up for myself in order to be treated with more dignity and less phisical pain. As someone with history of sexual violence it's especially hard for me.

Here's how I'm trying to manage the current situation meanwile:

I've started preparing the bag for the hospital
I'm conserving my energy and trying to only do the most necessary things during the day. So that I'll have the energy to deal with the situation if it will not improve
I will have a therapy session this fryday

Any more suggestions or just kind and/or incouraging words will be appreciated 🥺

I’m sorry to hear you went through this. Have you looked into a Natrupath? I had endometriosis and ovarian cysts that were gone by a healthy life style and a proper diet. I did have small day surgery to remove them through a scope first before finding a Natrupath but I was able to heal. Did you look into this? It’s an option to avoid medical procedures and pills. People dismiss the magic of food is medicine and Chinese medicine for healing.

Thank you so much for your reply. This is such useful info! I'm definitely gonna implement your advice even though it's not an easy one. Even though I don't want kids but I definitely want to avoid more doctors up in my business down there. That's a motivation like no other 😅

So true! I'll be researching more about foods and herbs tomorrow as a first step. I've decided to really make an effort at least for a month untill I need to repeat the ultrasound. ...if my next visit to the OBGYN will be successful 🤞

Thank you so much for your kind words!

I'm so sorry that you also had medical trauma. I think you have a nice idea to put "vaginismus" somewhere where doctors will read it. I'm also trying to say something like that, but it's probably a good idea to have it written somewhere more officially like you said.

About the causes of my current problem, might be endometriosis of ovaries or polyp in the uterus (I have both). Also, my cycle got f-ed up after I accidentally lost weight to the point of stopping menstruation. So, even if I won't need urgent hospitalisation now, I might have to deal with these issues later. But urgent hospitalisation with it's drastic measures is the worst. So, I really hope to avoid it.
