Useless gyno appointment

[luthien123]

Went for first gyno appointment yesterday and felt like they didn't listen to anything I said! He gave me a what I think is a pointless womb biopsy even though I've had recent smears that are clear and no in between bleeding. Said doesn't sound like endo and tried to foist a coil on me despite bad experience with them in past and I don't need contraception. Apparently having pain so bad that even farting on your period feels like a broom handle being shoved up your rectum are just common hormones. 🤔

I had this experience when I had my firsy gynae appointment. I’d recommend getting a second opinion so you know where you stand. The first consultant was running nearly 2 hours late so I felt like he couldn’t be bothered whereas the second consultant was wonderful and listened to me.

Good luck x

Erugh that farting pain, same hun!!! Unfortunately it can take a long time to get heard. My first gynae told me I had a low pain threshold and even ending up in hospital three times in 6 months for agonising stabbing pains didn’t get me anywhere. Tell your GP you’re not happy and they might be able to send you to a better hospital.

I had that when I went to my first appointment at a BSGE centre - all we can do is hope the next one is better/not see that doctor again, but I understand how crushing it is to wait months and then have a useless appointment x
