For example, I have had doctors tell me the pill won’t make you gain weight. Yet it is a well known side effect among many people who have shared their experience online.
I hear so many stories of women’s medical concerns and pain being dismissed because they’re “being dramatic”.
IUD placement- so painful, some say, they don’t understand why it isn’t done under anesthesia. For the most part, patients are just told to take Tylenol.
Even today, we still don’t fully understand female physiology. But I don’t understand why the medical field is so dismissive of all this?
Why does women’s health have so little research and care?
