Feeling Ignored by Doctors: My Struggle with Endometriosis

anyone else feel like they're constantly ignored by doctors? I've been experiencing crippling pain everytime I get my periods and I was always told that I just have a low pain tolerance. a month ago I was in tears and insisted that I have an ultrasound and they finally found a cyst in my ovaries. I haven't had anymore contact from them and I can't contact them myself, I don't know what it is and I feel completely lost, my best guess is that I might have endo because I have a lot of symptoms that match but I feel so alone in getting help for it and don't know what to do. what did you guys do to get your diagnosis? Do you know if it's something that can be cured/helped?

I’ve been where you at. I once had a a doc shove the speculum up there without warning and it caused so much pain I sobbed when I came out to my mom. I then looked for another doctor who specialized in pcos and endo and it helped.

I went to a doctor very similar. I pass out on the first day. The doctor just gave me birth control to stop my periods. I then went to a new doctor in a bigger city and I know these doctors will listen because they specialize in what I think I might have. I told them that I pass out, they gave me ibuprofen until I can go and do an ultrasound and a pap. My suggestion is go to a new doctor look up reviews on the doctors around your area. I have to drive two hours to mine.
