Bethany BlackAfter all these years I’m rarely surprised by medical misogyny, but finding out that the research from the first ever tests on period products using blood instead of water were published LAST WEEK is one of those surprises.
This is why they are so poor at absorption compared to the claims and why doctors struggle with what constitutes heavy bleeding. The research was published LAST MONDAY. A week ago today.
Ruby Jones@BethanyBlack this is making me feel super confident in my doctor's assertion that my concerns about going on the pill (which I want to do, but have valid concerns about) are 'purely anecdotal' and 'the data doesn't support it'.
I always look askance at a doctor dismissing patient's 'anecdotes' about their experiences after being misdiagnosed for 7 years, but especially women's. It makes me.lose confidence in the doctor, not the anecdotes.
