For the menstruating people here

Do you ever have such intense pain from cramping you pass out?
It happens to me every few months, but doc still claims there's nothing he can do about it. Not even give me stronger pain killers.

Edit: just to give you an idea:
I once got those extreme pains at work, and my coworkers genuinely thought one of my (then baby) nieces had passed away due to my crying.

Endometriosis?

Push for tests etc

@OldBrit I have PCOS but that doesn't explain the pain. I've been checked for endometriosis, but I don't have that.

@SW-User Did they scan your stomach too? Not just ovaluries or how it's spelled ?

SW-User

@Queendragonfly I don't remember. It's been about 15 years since I went to an actual gyneokologist (dunno how that's spelled in English)
My doc has been the one for quick exams and pap smears since.

@SW-User gynecologist, almost what you wrote. You should change doctor if they don't care to properly investigate or give you stronger meds.

SW-User

@Queendragonfly I have a very good doctor in general, so I'm not gonna change, but I do wish he would send me to a gynecologist for proper examination.

@SW-User Then be more stubborn ass on him!

SW-User

@Queendragonfly I'm meeting him aug 31st to fill out an application for gender dysphoria therapy (so I can be diagnosed as a man)
I'll bring it up then.

@SW-User Yes that's a great idea. 😊👍🏻
