Hello šŸ‘‹ does anyone else here suffer from a condition called Iatrophobia? I have this due to ptsd following a birth trauma. Iā€™ve reached the point I can no longer receive medical care, Iā€™d be really interested to hear from anyone with this as Iā€™ve not met anyone else

      I'm not sure I have latrophobia but I get pretty bad anxiety around medical things, and seeing a woman NP at a smaller office has really helped me. I'm a trans man and she's very respectful and friendly, and talks through what she's doing, and really thoroughly explains why she's making the decisions that she is. She also isn't dismissive like many male Drs are. It also might help to bring a friend to advocate for you if you get nervous. The WPATH website is also a place where you can find healthcare professionals who follow a published standard of care that you can go read. Also, herbalism can help in some places, and I used to see a chiropractor who would suggest herbal supplements before she'd suggest chemical ones, and finding someone who does that might be a way to regain comfort.
