So many things would be different if men had children…
As a CIS woman I’ve personally experienced many medical biases in my life.
One example is me telling an OB-GYN about extreme blood loss monthly during my menstrual cycle. I already had two ablations done to literally stop my blood loss. Either way, the doctor didn’t schedule a hysterectomy.
How did I eventually get him to take me seriously?
Came into office with a Diva Cup inside. He asked me how much blood loss I had been experiencing since we last spoke. Asked to go to restroom & came back with it inside a plastic bag. Explained I had placed it less than 4 hours ago. Man literally gasped & scheduled my hysterectomy that day claiming it was a “medical necessity” & I needed to get that taken care of immediately.
Me: OBVIOUSLY 🙄
That’s just ONE experience 🤣
