In the past I never had doctors listen to me when I told them I couldn't possibly be pregnant, even when I was in middle school. It wasn't until I got the Nexplanon implant that people listened to me when I said it, but ONLY if I told them I had it. Definitely not the same thing since what you experienced was paternalistic, misogynistic bullshit, but sort of similar in that a lot of medical professionals don't seem interested in listening to cis women or female-presenting people when it comes to reproductive things.

When my mom tried to get her tubes tied 29 years ago the female nurse gave her a lecture about how she would regret it. This is about how the convo went. Nurse "You might want more kids someday." Mom "Nope, just the one." Nurse "Your husband might want more." Mom " He is also good with just the one, and left the number of kids to me. " Nurse "You might get remarried and your new husband might want biological kids." Mom had to report the nurse to the male doctor. He was very angry and had a talk with the nurse about how out of line she was. He apologized whole heartily to my mom. Btw my parents are still happily married and thanking God they decided on just one child. IDK what this nurse expected my mom to do, form her life around the wants of an imaginary second husband's? Also, why are we still having the same issues 29 years later?

But not every one is on it for preventing pregnancy. Some are prescribed it for stopping a cyst from growing or regulating hormones, and may wish not to become infertile after the treatment. And yes, in some cases, if the doc does not do blood hormonal tests before priscribing it and so prescribes an unsuitable brand, they can cause more harm than good and mess your hormones forever. So it is a valid warning.

I went To a doctor once and Said "i feel like my hormones are changing". he said, "not possible you are too young for menopause..." Turns out i had a thyroid issue. He asked no questions, just decided i was fine. Wish doctors would be more inquisitive. A nurse helped me get more testing.

That talk about making fun of patients is so important! When I was 14 I had to get an ultrasound due to doctors thinking I might have an ovarian cyst. While in the waiting room I got dirty looks from almost everyone there, even though they were all waiting in the same room. It was ridiculous! People’s medical business should be their own thing to worry about. (No ovarian cyst by the way :))

I got a gyno ask about my number of sexual partners (normal here). She turned to the nurse when I answered. Then she asked if I was married. When I said "no", she giggled to the nurse: "Well, that's why!" Since then I am hesitant to answer truthfully during exams that I need to keep being healthy. (other disrespectful things happened during that exam, I now have a great doctor).

I had one at 12 because I had a lot of GI issues and they wanted to be as least invasive as they could to check my track. I kind of wish when I had a cat scan when I 16 that they that again, however the CT turned out to be really helpful because they found benign cysts on my ovaries, likely what caused some issues the whole time, others were caused by general GI issues. Nothing major or to be concerned and I am on birth control to help regular my massively bad estrogen level. My migraines are decreased and I no longer have the same cramping I had back then. I’m 19 now.

I wasn't made fun of by my obgyn but I did feel unheard and not respected by them. There were multiple occasions when I would ask questions out of genuine curiosity for a teenage girl and I was brushed off as if I didn't need to know about how part of my body worked. Worst thing was when I had to be swabbed for a test and rather than explain and try to get me to relax, as I was already nervous, they just went ahead with the test. I left that appointment traumatized and to this day I am afraid to go to an obgyn for fear of this happening again. This happened when I was 17 and I am now 23.

I feel so lucky because 3 years ago, at the age of 34, I went in to the doctor and nervously asked to have my tubes removed. I am not married, and I have no children. I thought for sure I was going to be told no. To my surprise my doctor said yes and we can do it next week 🤣 3 years later and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made.

“That’s the intro, subscribe if you want” is the most compelling sub line i’ve ever heard and is the only one that’s ever gotten an immediate sub. Thanks.

30 years ago my Mum went in to have a hysterectomy which had been recommended to her on medical grounds. When prepping her, the hospital advised they would need my Dad's signature on the consent form to confirm he agreed to her having the hysterectomy. My Mum put her foot down and refused point blank for them to even pass the form across to him. She told them that it was her decision whether or not to agree to have sex, it was her decision to be on whatever version of birth control she had been taking for the previous 10 years and she had never needed anyone else's permission for any other surgery that she had been through, she did not require anyone else's permission and she would not allow them to make a mockery of her right to make a decision about her own health. They went ahead without my Dad's signature. My Mum can be fierce when she wants to be

That’s crazy. Thankfully the doctor that performed my hysterectomy wasn’t that way. Of course I ddid talk to my husband about the decision because it was going to take our life in a different direction, but as far as the ultimate decision, that was all me. If anyone had even suggested that my husband needed to sign off on my hysterectomy I think I would have punched someone.

The last one kicked me in the feels. I have a friend who has gotten pregnant at 17 and she was pressured by her parents and her doctor to get an abortion and in the end they did it against her will (100% legal fyi) which is until this day a big trauma for her. Making fun of pregnant teens is never okay. They might have just slept with their first partner, they might have been mksinformed about contraceptives, they might have even been raped ffs. Not okay to make fun of kids/teens getting pregnant. (btw. This is not a pro-life comment, I'm pro choice, so is my friend, and her choice was taken away from her)

I know someone who had this happen in the late 60's. When she got pregnant again she ran away from home and lived in a women's shelter. The father of her child had to stay in the hospital with her until the birth certificate was filed to make sure her parents couldn't give the baby up for adoption. She still struggles with that trauma. It should have been her choice, not her parents'.

The lady asking about getting her tubes tied reminded me of my mom. She asked to get her tubes tied but her doctor said no because she was "too young" even though she already had 4 kids. She was probably 25-26 when she asked. She only ended up getting a hysterectomy after she developed endometriosis, and she ended up having another baby in the meantime.

Can you imagine going into the doctors for actual and awful pains and seeing your doctor is the woman in the last video? I'd be so uncomfortable that I'd just leave.

The last one was so awful. Not only is she making a fool of herself and make possible patients not trust her, but she is also making people in general more self conscious about getting help. Imagine being pregnant at 16, dealing with sh*t from everyone, then finding your doctor/nurse making a joke out of it. And by no means am I against doctors on social media, you are making a big difference in combating false information and also in showing a more human trustful side of you. So thank you for all the medical professionals who are leading by example on social media ❤❤❤

Yeah, I'm waiting on a diagnosis, but even if I don't have endometriosis, I've still suffered severe pain for the past 14 years. But of course, I thought it was normal, because everyone tells you that period pain is normal. My mum tells me (despite her best intentions) that I might just have a low pain tolerance. But even if true, that doesn't mean I don't deserve help. Even my own Doctor dismisses it. One time when I had gone to the doctor for a check-up and the doctor asked how I was doing and I said I felt a little depressed from things that was going on in my life, and from my period pain. She responded with "Well we all have period pain, so there's no use worrying about that." I've also spent the past 2 years trying to find the right medication without giving me side effects, because the doctor and I only made the connection recently that a condition I had since I was 12, was caused by the pain medication I have been taking... since I was 12. It's been tough trying to manage it all, but I think I've found the right meds now, at least I hope.

Amen!!!!

I trimmed the story, but it's a wild ride. Back in 2018 to 2019 (just before the new year's day), my appendix exploded and it gave me belly cramps during hours, so my parents drove me to the health unity (it's not an hospital, but it's the gateway to one). I was literally crying in pain, not being able to properly sit and having trouble to even breath, it's not a common sight for a fully-grown woman in pajamas to be crying and clinging to a graying mother at 2 AM, right? So, after half an hour, the doc said to my mother who entered with me because I wasn't being able to properly walk: "Are you sure she isn't pregnant? We can go check it, the ultrasound machine is being used now, but we can put her in the line, maybe it will take 20 minutes" She flatly said "she is just fat", (I think I said something mid-groan "my belly has folds, pregnant people don't have folds, do they?") he seemed to be in shock for a moment, like he didn't know what to do, then he asked if I was in college and I said I just got accepted, so his answer: "she is just stressed a bit, I'll give her some painkillers and you can go home", my mother insisted to do a little exam just to be sure nothing was wrong, but he refused, justifying that many teens (I was 22) came to the health unity saying they were in pain, had insomnia and other problems due to stress related to school. I was almost buying it since I was in fact under stressing times, but then my pain struck fully and I started to puke bile, just then he reluctantly decided to give me an exam to see what was wrong with me. Well, I survived, did the exam on the following morning, got to the hospital, got my surgery done, spent the new year's eve at the hospital and got home on the following day. But I still think: why did I had to literally puke in the front of a doctor just so he could bother to make an exam in my belly, since he seemed eager to do that when he thought I could be pregnant? Like, he really wanted to do an ultrasound just to see if I was pregnant, but after we (me and my mom) said that I wasn't, he just pretended it wasn't necessary? (let alone the fact I could have been examined for pregnancy in 20 minutes according to him, but had to wait about 5 hours afterwards, at least the painkillers knocked me asleep for most of the time) I mean, how many adults you see hunching over and holding back their tears because of pain to the point their need help to walk? I know some people can be overly dramatic (or have low tolerance for pain, which is my situation), but I think it was... An experience that I don't know how to classify. For a bit of context: I'm Brazilian, being barred from doing exams isn't the norm. Delaying it isn't uncommon, but it's very unlikely to happen when someone shows up in pain. Also, we don't have medical/hospital bills to pay, so this isn't a form of "treating the poor folks like trash".

MDJ you actively inspire me to take a chance on doctors and hope they will be kind and helpful instead of passing me along and not wanting to help me. Even if it doesn't work, I'll never stop trying just in case i do get one like her one day! And i have, in a therapist I loved.

I think the fact that girl snap back after you called her out for being inappropriate definitely shows that she knows what she did was wrong and just doesn’t care. If she needs to vent She should get a journal, there is such a thing as patient confidentiality and HIPAA laws

My doctor is absolutely hilarious. I end up laughing about something every time I see him. But he would never make a joke at a patient's expense or my own. Instead he favors terrible dad jokes and puns. In example, what do you call a fish doctor? A cod-iologist.

It depends on the birth control and the kind of migraines. For example if your migraines have an aura (sensory stuff, usually visual, before/during a migraine) it's recommended you go with progesterone only pills to reduce the risk of them becoming worse. Obviously that's assuming that your hormone cycle isn't causing them and various other factors. Some of the combination hormone birth controls have different effects on migraines and obviously hormones effect everyone differently.

I noticed that an obgyn is more likely to talk to you about it and weigh the benefits vs the risks with you than a GP/family practice doctor. I started getting the impression that GPs are more-or-less told "people that have migraines can’t take birth control because of a risk of blood clots and stroke" whereas obgyns are more likely to know the nuances of it. It’s incredibly frustrating because while I don’t want to suffer a stroke and I take the increased risk seriously, I can NOT function and live my life when I’m having migraines 3 weeks a month.

I'm already ashamed enough to be crying, flinching, shaking, hyperventilating, stuttering, and generally acting slightly hysterical. Knowing that nurses/doctors might be laughing at/mocking me like that last video just adds insult to injury in my opinion, and I'm sure a lot of people in my shoes probably feel the same.

Just when we thought, "If your vagina is sick, take it to the doctor" was the best MDJ quote, here comes an exploitative company to give the fodder for "You do not need a glow up for your vulva."

I've heard of men being refused vasectomies because "You're too young, you might want more children someday", but I wonder whether any man has ever been asked "Do you have your wife's/girlfriend's consent?". I doubt it!

not related to pregnancy but when i was 16 i had a panic attack so bad that i fainted and it landed me in the hospital and i overheard two nurses making fun of me. it traumatized me so bad that even now almost 10 years later im still anxious as hell in hospitals and doctors offices and scared that im going to be made fun of. it led to me pushing off a lot of important appointments and now im seeing doctors a lot due to health issues i likely would have had sorted long ago if not for this. thanks for standing up against that kind of attitude, i really appreciate it.

RN here- I agree with you on a few points. 1. If you are not a medical professional STOP giving medical advice. And if you have a medical concern PLEASE seek professional advice and don’t get information from Tic Toc or Facebook! 2. Medical professionals...act like one. Our patients are precious and fragile. They need to feel safe and secure in our care. I am absolutely embarrassed at TV shows that show patients in compromising or embarrassing situations. I have been a nurse for 40 years. My patients need to know that I am here for them and I have seen it all. I don’t judge, criticize or think about them in anyway other than that they are in trouble and they need my help. If you can’t act like a professional then get out of this profession.

Yes to all of this. I used to work in EMS and now I'm on the clinical side. EMS providers are notorious for saying really awful things about patients and having "dark humor". Its not ok to degrade someone because you need to let off steam. Patients are people and every person deserves respect. If you don't want it said about your momma then don't say it about someone else. I see a lot less of this in the clinical side and its so refreshing.

I live in Georgia and had to give permission for my husband's vasectomy. We had 6 children; 2 with a rare form of dwarfism....our oldest and youngest. I had just given birth about 3 weeks prior. I was 37, he was 38. Though, I knew I was already extremely stressed and could not handle having any more children; I still sat in the parking lot and cried while my husband was having the procedure.

Before my hysterectomy my doctor tried me on several different types of birth control and I was allergic to every single one. Severe reaction. When I had the total hysterectomy they tried putting me on the patch so I wouldn’t go through menopause at 23. Body reacted horribly with that as well.

There are multiple forms of HRT so it is worth trying other ones, it might be worth getting a referral to a Gyenicologest who specialises in Menopause, especially premature menopause. HRT is not to stop menopause (that happened when the ovaries were removed) but rather to help you manage the symptoms and to help reduce the risk of side effects of premature menopause. There is probably something which you can tolerate it might just take a specialist to find it.

I was 19 when I got pregnant with my son and even being almost 20 when I had him, I was still treated as though I was 12 and didn't understand anything. The doctors I had were very condescending, they often spoke to my mother during my pregnancy instead of me. Even today I often get asked if I'm babysitting and when I say he's my baby people get very uncomfortable and say, "oh okay, you must be married at least?" There is MASSIVE judgment for young parents, more often than not people assuming I'm a bad mother or I'm less of a mother because I'm young.

At the time I was in school and close to graduating as a Medical Assistant and was going to nursing school the next year. He rolled his eyes and laughed and said that I’d never end up going to school because kids are inconvenient and that I’d never be able to provide for my daughter as an MA, as well as that I had no reason to be excited for a child so young. I’m only 21 now and my daughters a little over 2 and I’m married to her father and I’m a nurse and we’ve always been able to provide for her and ourselves. And I got through nursing school despite his judgements. Medical staff can really suck.

If PEOPLE OF WALMART know better than to talk or joke about customers, you better believe I expect that and more from a healthcare professional.

I had the same issue. My gyn literally recommended douching with plain Greek yogurt. I didn’t try it because WTF

I just wanna say that when I got pregnant at 17 and went to a doctor that wasn't my usual, she was so so nice. When I came into the room I immediately started crying and she knew what was up. We did the ultrasound at which she saw that I was actually 19 weeks along already. She wasn't judgemental at all and after that she talked me through everything and talked about options. She told me that if I wanted to keep my baby that's great but if I don't and want to give it up for adoption that's is also great. No pressure at all. She even was as nice as to not charge the pregnancy because here in Germany you can only charge one pregnancy per quarter and since she wasn't my normal gynecologist she told me to go to my doctor the next week since it was Friday because I lived quite far away from her office and especially in the last month it would be too much to always drive there. I'm just so glad that I went to that doctor because after that I felt much better about it. I was so scared of being judged by the staff but that didn't happen at all. Still think it was the nicest thing to nit charge the pregnancy since I would have had so much stress fixing that with my insurance company

She told me all they said was "we can confirm that you are pregnant" (in deutsch wars "Es liegt bei Ihnen eine Schwangerschaft vor" also noch neutraler) informed her very neutrally about her options and only when she had decided to keep the baby a few days later they started saying words like "embryo, baby, infant, etc" and showed their joy for her.

When i was 14 my mom (who is a RN) had my dad take me to a doctor because i had not had a period yet and she was worried. They barely said hi to us, had me give a urine sample then left us in a room for what seemed like forever with zero information. When someone did finally come in, without bothering to ask my history or comfort level with my dad there they said, well youre not pregnant! Honestly i didnt even know how people got pregnant. We went to a different doctor who explained the imbalance of my hormones in detail and put me on birth control to try and adjust it. Now at 35 im on birth control to block my periods because i went from never having one, to a period of heavy bleeding that lasted 6 months before we found one that worked. As an Asexual adult i have zero interest in sex or dating etc but i need this medication to keep from bleeding out.
