Had a Gastritis which was so bad, the thought of food made me nauseous. Went to a specialist who then explained in length that it’s either something in my uterus or my head, no further examination needed. He then send my back to my regular doc with the diagnosis “eating disorder”. Only after a few months I had an appointment with another doctor who DID an examination and found ulcers along with their cause: Gastritis
Sadly this was the start for a lot of other digestive issues but it’s slowly getting better now.
Having a vagina and PTSD is a horrible combination for these kind of problems…
Recently I was shocked to go to my doctor, tell her I was covered in hives (gone by the time I had an appointment but hey soonest I could get), told her I expected it was probably anxiety and she was like “no extremely unlikely” so that was nice.

Yeah, in general healthcare is worse for women as doctors still study with textbooks written about men by men for men.
Being female and needing health is miserable.
