Gynecologist Reacts: Cringe Health TikTok 

Thanks so much for cheering me up today! 😃

I needed a mama dr jones video after the day I've had. Thank Mdj

Mama Doctor Jones I just got my first HPV shot, and it did hurt a little bit more than a normal shot, but I know it’s worth it.

As far as I can remember there weren't 580k of us out there.What happened?😂❤

Serious question migraine with tunnel vision/aura is not normal and is something that needs to be addressed?! My Dr told me I was just making it up in my head and refuses to remove my iud (I've had alot of issues since having liletta)

My two small daughters were like duh garlic is for food😂😂😂

@@aricka4193 And it's GOOD for food. Not so much for hoo has.

Yeah it’s my absolute favorite and actually one of the first things I think about when hearing MDJ lol

And she's saying she's not hilarious

I couldn’t help but imagine sitting in the waiting room holding hands and telling her “everything’s gonna be alright” 😂😂

Lmfao bet that woke you up confused af 🤣😂 I swear I am cracking up laughing at your comment!

Oh damn its 3 am I should go to bed Wait never mind

😂😂😂

Whoa! Garlic alert at 2:00 AM!

If your vagina is sick take it to the dr lol

Yeah, same. It's like someone needs to stand up in front all past, current, and future medical professionals or everyone in world and say the following or something to this effect: "I am a human person and I own my uterus. No, no one else decides for me what happens to it and no man or child can rent it or any other part or sum of my body. What others want for my uterus is relevant because I didn't and don't choose a life of service."

@@annakevlin8634 Great message, but I think you meant irrelevant instead of relevant. Minor typos.

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.

if your partner is gonna get upset about you wanting birth control pills for your health and safety, i would question them.. for your health/safety and comfort, it’s your body. it is YOUR body, not someone else’s.

FURRY FREN

Thank you for this♥️I'm a teen mom, and I was pregnant at 15 and I went through school hiding it because I knew people would judge me. When they found out, bam hate and judgement. I get called terrible names even though the only person I have done the deed with was my ex (my child's father) and I didn't consent to it, which is rape. Think before you judge, you don't know a teen mom's, teen dad's, single moms, single dad's, young parents situation. Thank you

@@ziagochenaur2980 I could never truly fathom the fear you must have gone through, or any young mom/dad. Having a baby is not all sunshine and rainbows, it's painful and risky in our world now. Though I'm sure holding your child's tiny hand when they are finally born makes everything worth it (wouldn't know, I'm not a parent though I hope to be one day :)). My cousin got pregnant when she was a teenager too, and now she's a registered nurse and a proud mom of three. At one point, she managed two jobs, college, and the kids (two young adults, one still a teen) all by herself (husband isn't really helpful unfortunately). She is truly one of the strongest people I know, and for that woman in that vine to make fun of teenage pregnancy like it's nothing made me see red. I hope for you and your child all of the best! It takes a lot of courage and commitment to raise a child, don't let unsympathetic people tear you down or feel ashamed for it. :)

@@beatricedorian9908 thank you so much, and your aunt is amazing! She sounds like a great mother. Look up to her!

@@ziagochenaur2980 I’m sorry you had to go through that, my aunt was also raped and her baby had a lot of physical and mental disorders, but she still stayed such a happy and positive person who absolutely loved her daughter.

@@milkshake2659 that's great to hear. God bless them both

I'm no longer horribly anemic now because of birth control! smh people just don't seem to realize people take birth control for more than a contraceptive.

I literally got attacked in the past bc I said I take BC bc of the pain, now that I found out I have endometriosis I know that I should take BC for my own health... I tried to stop taking it bc of that huge movement and the guilt trip they do to you (that I'm really starting to see similarities with other anti-science movements) and now I'm even struggling to do barely anything at all bc of the strong pain I'm feeling

It helped control my pain and regulate my EXTREMELY irregular periods. Bleeding for a month for NO reason is not good for anyone. So...yeah, I take my pill happily every day!!!

I don't need to stay in bed for 10-14 days every month because of horrible cramps! I also don't faint or vomit because my back, stomach and thighs are cramping like crazy. I also don't have ache in between my periods, and I haven't had more than 2-3 periods/ year since I got on BC in early 2018.

Well sometimes it does have some harm to certain people and it's good to be cautious. I was on the implant and my periods no longer hurt but I was nonstop bleeding for a year, with a break of 2 days every other month. Thankfully I'm taking birth control pills and have my painful periods at a normal rate which is a blessing compared to before

Sad reality is that there are many places in the world (e.g. the US) where the man is seen as the “head of the household” and his opinion is the only one that matters. Protip: don’t marry these people, they have a very high rate of domestic violence.

Plus. If you do end up wanting kids in the future. You can adopt. So its not even a problem

Other thing that bothers me is that none of these medical carers apear to know that adoption is an option... Like, it's not the end of the world if I supposedly meet someone that supposedly wants a child and I supposedly change my mind, we could still adopt.

@@lari.2909 Indeed... and even if they consider adoption they're still going to assume that every woman will eventually want to carry her own child instead of adoption or surrogacy. It's maddening and infuriating that people still assume that carrying a child is somehow the holy grail of human experience, or even that having a child is something that everyone supposedly *should* want. Like, stop fucking telling people what they should want, stop assuming that if they don't want children they're fooling themselves. It's degrading and dehumanizing to speak to people that way.

@@kharnthebetrayer8251 Unless you're a weirdo who absolutely obsessively only want to have biological children. I had a high school teacher like that. And I know because she dedicated our sex-ed class to detailing her journey towards getting that biological child. Granted, it's not the *worst* use of sex-ed class (at least she didn't waste our time by teaching abstinence-only) but god, I really didn't need to know... any... of the details she shared. One of us students point blank asked her why she didn't try for adoption or something. No, it had to be biological. It was the only thing good enough for her.

Your name and pfp are just 👌👌

According to mom we have everything at home.

KIRIPIMA

First of all why would anyone want to ask their mom to go there. It seems so entirely horrifying to see one of those doctors.

@@agirlbelngingtthewild9625 so issues with your cervic can be diagnosed

What a terrible nurse I’m wow that’s just disgusting

I know right

I disagree. I don't think the nurse was trying to talk her out if it. It's just part of her job to find out for sure that the decision was her own for one thing, and to make sure she has thought of the permanent consequences.

@@acuteteacher When my mom reported her to the doctor he told the nurse, in front of my mother, she had no business talking to my mother like that, and was mortified that she would speak to his patients like that. It was not the nurse's job at all. She wasn't trying to make sure my mom thought about it. She was being rude and straight telling my mother she would regret it.

@@acuteteacher but she kinda went on it the wrong way, this was lowkey harassment, if someone says no then no

"bIrTh CoNtrOL iS bAd FoR yOur HOrMoNeS!!" "yes dearie.... that's the point" (bad joke that probably doesn't make sense but at the time of typing it it seems like a good idea)

Same😄 It fixed alot of things that were wrong because of my hormone imbalance.

Same tho

It’s different for everyone

Same for me too!

Conventional medicine should be outlawed.

And the scary thing is, its usually female influencers that buy into and post these messages, so as a woman you watch it and think she's a girl why would she be on their side?

That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't find anything at all funny about a 16 year-old being pregnant in the first place.

Teen pregnancy is scary if anything. For the teenager, for the parents, for the father... It sucks but poor sex education is to blame.

I was thinking similarly. I'm studying to become a medical technologist, and it's been emphasized to us that we should meet our patients with dignity and respect and to treat their samples in the same manner, to remember that behind each vial and bottle, there is a person waiting for an answer.

I'm having a stupid moment... why was that TikTok funny?!

@@myself0510 the "funny" part was supposed to be the reaction the person in scrubs had. the "oh sh*t she's pregnant" is supposed to be a funny reaction. Instead it just came off as unprofessional, tasteless, and uncaring towards the patient.

Yeah, I was thinking to myself that I'd recognize that chick from my doctor's office and feel humiliated...she's a real jerk.

I pray they were all just actors... If not, a lawsuit

@@tahraethestoryteller6079 It was the same lady, so they didn't show a patient. Likely couldn't sue them, but I'd for sure not want to see them again.

@@lisarodriguez6966 Id be so, so, angry and upset. I'd report her to the head of the hospital, to the medical board, to TikTok, to the TV news... anybody who would listen.

It wouldn't be damaging just for her but for any girl that age who is pregnant or went through something similiar. Maybe some girls who have been raped and became pregnant are watching this and thinking that there is something wrong with them. Anyway i's still terrible to humiliate young girls for being pregnant even if you're not a doctor and they're not your patient cause you never know what happened

Ummmm... holy crap! I’m so glad you’re ok now. By the way, you and your SO are super cute in the profile pic.

Your husband sounds like a peach!

Oh yeah, little known fact, you can have lots of kids when you’re dead! And men actually are the ones who should decide if you bleed out! I mean, I know being alive and not bleeding all the time are both great things but are you suuure you want that?

Your husband sounds like such a wonderful man! I was lucky that my male Gyn was an advocate for my hysterectomy WITHOUT asking my husband for his opinion. I can’t fathom the amount of women who have experienced that mess. I’m so glad that you are okay now sugar!!

Thats so awful, Im glad they didnt do that to my mom. She had her tubes tied after my brother, it was a difficult quick birth with bleeding issues. The thing that gets me is that from what I hear, if young men want a vasectomy it isnt challenged. (I know guys who have had them at 20) and yet a girl even brings it up/or a hysterectomy due to endo and even female docs can go 'well but what about more kids'. It shouldnt freaking matter to someone who doeent own that organ in their body. Like what about not dying, being in pain, or truly not wanting more kids? Its awful this still happens to us women so often.

I appreciate your comment, dude. Welcome!

I'm pretty sure "migraine, weight gain and, sexual disturbances" are symptoms of living on Earth in 2020.

@@acidroofproductions9378 lmaoo

I am not even sure those count as symptoms any more doesnt that just mean you are alive. XD

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

THANK YOU CIEL 😚

Yeah it's like, well yeah?

I thought that too like yeah that's the point of birth control isn't it lol

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.

The person who abused me is a nurse and, coincidentally, was the typical “mean girl” in high school. Obviously not very nurse is like that, I know so many lovely people who are nurses but it’s definitely a stereotype for a reason.

They like being able to exert power over others. Nursing is a great way to do that.

This is so funny because I just started at Pima to become a Respiratory Therapist, and while I was at campus to pick up my books, I ran into a high school bully who told me she was about to become an MA

So true I refuse to go to one urgent care in my town cause I know and got bullied by too many of the nurses that work there now. Like "I didn't like being around you when I was safe now you want me to consent to you stabbing me in the arm? Hell no."

All the nurses I've met have been really nice.

Especially considering in most places all over the world & especially in the US girls are not given adequate sex education. There’s so many videos and like, Reddit threads of doctors talking about adult patients that knew nothing about sex or pregnancy, it’s crazy. Like you don’t teach them their options, how things work, or how to be safe, then vilify them when the inevitable happens.

I feel all those girls who get pregnant early, I've had a woman look at me like "oh she's so young and already buying baby food, she should be ashamed" when I was buying baby food when I was 18. Jokes on her, I'm 25, still a virgin (bad luck, not really a choice), and I was only buying baby food because I had a throat infection so bad that I couldn't swallow normal food. It's not always a girl's choice to get pregnant, especially when rape is involved

you're so strong! keep fighting gurl!

Hating on pregnant teens is NEVER okay, even for a shit joke. It can be very difficult for the teen, their family, ect. and you never know the situation at full. Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry people think teen pregnancy is something to laugh at.

@@Hannah-zw9ow They're expected to remain virgins until marriage or else they don't get Christmas presents or something, obviously educating them about contraception will defile their pure minds with sinful thoughts. How else can someone be judgemental towards both abortions AND teen pregnancy?

Not just in the US. Hungarian here and ew no, don't want to see a doctor ever again. (But I'll have to next month, because pre-flight 💉 eeek.)

That doctor needs to be fired, You could file a complaint if you want bc that's messed up, I'm here for u!

It just infuriates me that people bully people who are pregnant at a young age. It may be risky for someone at that age, and so that can scare people, and bullying won't help. It just makes me so angry.

This almost made me cry. I’m so sorry to anyone who has to go through that.

I tried for years to get my tubes tied or partial hysterectomy. Nope, nowhere, no one would do it. I went into pre-menopause early instead.

A queen 👑!!!

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.

Ask that everyday

Yeah..

Even if they aren't young, like how is that at all a joke? I hate humans

Like she has no idea what the woman had gone through that got her pregnant. Especially with being so young, you have NO IDEA. Maybe she messed around, maybe she was molested. Don't make fun of patients.

I had an ultrasound at 15 to check my liver and same thing

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 was lucky that the nurses and doctors that took care of me were extremely respectful and explained the process and made me feel comfortable. I was a scared child that didn’t know what any of it was like. The lady who did the ultrasound was really funny and outlined everything we saw on the screen.

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.

That's heartbreaking

That happened with my eldest sister at 17. Was pressured by her father to get it. Still with the same guy who got her pregnant and her last pregnancy ended in miscarriage.

That's awful 💔 good for you for speaking up though! Alot of people are afraid to have a voice these days.

100% not legal, fyi

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'.

THIS!!! THANK YOU!!! I am a teen mom,I had my son when I was 16. I get judged by everyone, and get called a harlett, slut, whore, etc, when I have only had sex with my ex (my son's father). They call me a slut for getting pregnant because he cheated on his girlfriend, but I got raped, how am I a slut for that? You don't know a single mothers, single father's, young parents situation. Don't judge a book by its cover

@@ziagochenaur2980 You're a strong person. Keep going. Some people are just awful and like to hate on other people

I agree, it's just sad how much of an ass some medical staff can be. I remember a while back I tried to get therapy, but was told that I'd have to see a doctor before I could do that. Fine so be it. So I went there, told her how I was feeling, that I had a lot of trouble regulating my mood, that I didn't know how to control my emotions. Her response was "Maybe it's just the hormones." Like wow, so you think that just because I'm a teenager, it's simply because I'm a 'hormonal teen' Not only was that doctor pretty insensitive in my opinion, like there are better ways to bring that idea up, but I've never felt more patronized when going to the doctor.

​@@ziagochenaur2980 when I was in primary school a girl in middle school was pregnant (she was in the last year or something) and... God! She was judged. I saw scribbles in the toilet stall calling her names and stuff. I was pretty young and innocent and always saw pregnancy as a blessing, so I was always kind and smiled to her. She was very shy... No wonder why. Kudos to her sticking to studying even with those awful bullying she was suffering!

Yer they expect you to have mum and day holding your hand till your in your mid 20's than expect your boyfrend/husband to be there .... hello we are the pashent not them listen to us not others!

Yep. When I was a teenager, the doctor said I was stressed. My symptoms:. Ear pain. The funny part is that I had ongoing ear infections. Eventually, I had to get ear surgery in one of my ears due to the massive ear infection that ended up rupturing my ear drum. Yeah, the stress was the doctor not wanting to check my ears and getting paid for guessing.

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".

The hospitals where I'm at weren't even busy with C O V I D so yeah it's a big fat SCAM.

Endo is really tough I was diagnosed 7 years ago and some people still don't get that even without a disorder, menstrual pain and symptoms are very real and very disruptive. Unfortunately our medical system is patriarchal and discounts and undervalues women and discredits their pain. It's getting better but not fast enough

I've gone to hospo 3 times now with endo problems. I take bc for pain and it causes my time not to come for ages. But when it does eventually come it is really painful and I get very heavy bleeding to the point where I've blacked out and I get light headed. I went to the hsosp for the recent one becuase I hadn't slept for 2 days due to pain. I got a pregency test which came. Back negetive and told to get over thyne self. I cant walk well when the time comes bc of where the bad area is. I feel you and I hope one day we can all be treated with dignity and respect.

Yeah. I go to the doctor and the doctor said use a compress type brace so i did and next time the doctor said put soles in my shoes. Its for ankle pain becauae every morning i wake up and start to walk my ankles will hurt for 1-5 hours as i walk so i also walk strange when it does. The soles dont help and brace dont.

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.

She should absolutely lose her certification or any license and never be able to regain it

Because she made a bad joke? Let's not go overkill on our professionals. If we fire everyone who makes a mistake, a joke in bad taste or posts something online that should have stayed in private conversations between professionals, we will find ourselves pretty quickly without healthcare professionals. Let's reserve that for people who actively violate the trust of patients and do grossly negligent and harmful things.

@@olenickel6013 ...you're really defending her. Wow.

@@olenickel6013 and yes, she should be fired. Anyone joking around like that about a vulnerable patient lacks the compassion, decency and common sense to properly care for them. And yes, that's dangerous to the well being of the people put in her care. It's a no fuckin brainer that yeah, we need to weed people like this out of authority and care positions, and put better people in their place.

@@grimmscuriosities9411 I am not defending her, I am saying there is space between complete acceptance and complete cancelling. Not every sanction must be "fire her and ruin her life", you can have a sane discussion about why this joke was in bad taste and could have unwanted negative impact on pregnant teenagers and then go on, have her learn from her mistake and continue to do her job better in the future. It's easy to scream bloody murder over the internet, but healthcare providers are still people and they may make mistakes. If you "weed out" everyone who makes dumb mistakes without giving them a chance to do better you will end without healthcare providers.

They can. I got severe migraines when i first started, but obviously its also used to treat people for them. I just had a different condition that couldn't be controlled by birth control so it made it worse till i got used to the hormones.

You DO realize that migraines have various causes. Sometimes hormonal, sometimes otherwise. Marijuana makes most people's migraines go away. it makes mine INFINITELY worse.

My doctor wouldn’t let me be on BC because of my migraines 😭 they’re hormonal migraines, but he said that it made my risk of stroke way too high 😔

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.

Mary Beth I had trouble finding a doctor that would prescribe them, honestly. I take the mini-pill (progesterone only pill) and even so, a couple doctors were reluctant/unwilling. 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.

Someone would have to rip my BC from my cold dead hands before I start having a cycle again

I can’t add pictures, but yknow the meme of the guy with all the question marks floating around his face? That’s me...

Birth control is the only thing that makes my periods remotely tolerable. Plus not getting pregnant is a good bonus

I wish FAM was a more recognized thing, but does that mean birth control should be outlawed? NO! Not only is it birth control but also legitimate treatment outside of birth control!

Thank you! I needed Depo Provera shots for years to control my PCOS. Without it I averaged 4-5 emergency room visits annually (50% chance of hospitalization-diabetes complicate infections) with a high fever and Peritonitis.

I am sorry that it happened to you.... Hope you are doing better now ❤️

Ughhh, people suck. Hope you're okay these days.

I worked with doctors who regularly talked about patients so yea, I don’t like going to the hospital. I go to my necessary appointments yearly and that’s it.

♥️♥️♥️

You are not alone.

I haven’t been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder but going to the doctor freaks the crap out of me I will violently shake while holding back tears and my heart rate and blood pressure will be elevated to to point where the doctors are concerned... even though I have a fit bit and my average heart rate is 65-75

I am a nurse practitioner at a clinic for the uninsured. I have many patients with crippling anxiety and it takes so much time and patience to build a bridge of trust, I would never knowingly do anything to damage that bridge. None of my colleagues nor myself would behave in the way depicted by tiktok, it is absolutely shameful. I hope that you are able to find a provider who treats you in the manner you deserve, with compassion, empathy, and respect.

Same. You are not alone.

You are valid

For the first point!!!! If you are a medical professional STOP GIVING ADVICE IN FIELDS YOU DID NOT STUDY IN. Just because you know about how to take care of old people, doesn't mean you know how to treat a 2nd degree burn or a pulled muscle! I may be projecting a little, sorry about that.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Fellow RN here. I find that women's health is one of the most notorious areas for people giving health advice that they have no business in giving. I follow a mom group and I can't believe the crap I see.

If my friends ask about something medical related I’ll give them minor suggestions but even then I’ll always end the conversation by reminding them that I’m not a doctor and that they should talk to theirs. I couldn’t imagine trying to give people medical advice through social media without any actual training.

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.

A R 😆😆😂😂😂😂

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

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.

Lol it’s 12:26 at night

That sounds like the doctors that see me for chronic pain. They treat me like I'm 5 and always talk to my parents, not me. "How long has your daughter had this pain for?" and I always want to scream "SHE DOESN'T KNOW! THEY'RE MY FUCKING LEGS ASK ME!" They dismiss my theory that I have fibromyalgia (my mom and grandma have it and I'm a girl) like I'm a 5 year old saying 2+2=22.

I was 18 when I was pregnant and an ER doctor asked me what I was going to do to provide for my daughter. 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.

Thats disappointing guys I feel sorry you had unpleasant experiences. Im 28 and I have two kids my oldest is 9 so I too was 18 and prego, my doctors were fantastic! Treated me with the most respect and comfort, I felt very welcomed with open arms. Im extremely grateful.

That is messed up. you are not a bad mother because you have your son young but these things happen and i dont know why a lot of people think that you should be married before you have kids and the age that you should have kids is over 20. well that is wrong. i know a bunch of people who got pregnant in high school or college. it doesnt matter what age you are you have the right to protect your child from the world. people may judge you but its your child and your rights to speak up.

20 isnt even like crazy young to have kids. I mean you are an adult and everything by then. When I think young pregnancy I think like 15 or 16

Honestly, if I could detach mine, carry it in and then just leave the room during any and all checks/exams, I would have zero complaints. 😂

Bahaha..tucked in a blankie, with a tiny hat on. "Awhhh, how old?" "29, its muh vag." 😳

It's so ridiculous women have to justify their health care like this. If I want it, for whatever reason, there should be as few barriers as possible.

Excatly! I'm on it for health reasons not just so I can have sex anytime I want.

Ambria Ashley Exactly. I’m also pro choice due to my past. Hearing all the fake messaging around things like birth control and abortion make me sick. A 10 year old girl in Brazil had to fight to get access to an abortion and she eventually got it but not before she was doxed. She could have died from the pregnancy.

@@ambriaashley3383 just imagine if people wanted to demonize viagra because its not what God/nature wanted, like they say with birth control

Severe acne can get better (not sure what that hormone was, I basically had too much of for a girl). It makes you have regular periods. I don't get the hate either.

That’s funny cuz I had managers at Walmart start talking and joking about people and even me myself as soon as I or the others would walk away. Then when they realized I would heard them they would switch to Spanish.

Uhhhh...... In my country, we don't even have sex ed. Stupid, considering the population... But yea

@@preethithomasbleh oh my god that’s awful they really need it

@@persom7824 I totally agree. But people tend to be over conservative in places they shouldn't be.

@@preethithomasbleh yeah

Same!

I have an anxiety disorder, and going to the doctor feels like walking to the gallows for me. 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.

@@lonrasetolenga1922 I'm sorry to have anxiety issues but that's not even close to what I'm talking about. The person in the Tiktok was sharing false information so that's why it was funny for her to complement her appearance. Unless you're going to go into your OBGYN spouting false information, this comment was not about your personal experience.

@@lonrasetolenga1922 Also FYI I was talking about the TikTok with the girl with red hair and blue eyes who listed incorrect and harmful information about birth control side effects. So it had nothing to do with the last one.

This is just my first time watching her video but i love her already 😭💀

*And by “not synonymous,” I just meant that I know I was fertile before being regular, but the regularity seemed to help increase my chances for getting pregnant*

You child is probably like 2 by now but congratulations! (And if you had a miscarriage i am sorry and this message might have been very painful)

@@snufhuffboy5101 aww thank you!! He turns 2 in April ❤️

@blowout16 congratulations to your baby who is now 2 years old much prosperity and peace to you ma'am❤

I know that feeling, intially I had it too. I've sort of stopped caring about it now because they can joke all they want about me, it only shows how horrible of a person they are (at least in that moment). One day, they might wake up, and realize with deep regret how they feel about those jokes and it could plague them for a long while (seen that happen). But me? I won't have that issue. I'll be working on dreams and goals I have. Books I want to write and places I want to see. Plus, their opinions aren't the ones that matter to me, it's the kind and compassionate people I do find in my life that deserve that respect. Don't be scared to discuss your medical issues, you could be risking your life, since autoimmune diseases typically have no sympathy or patience.

I also have an autoimmune disorder which I've been battling with does 14 years. I'm sorry to hear that you don't feel comfortable with nursing staff. I've never heard the nurses gossiping about patients before, if you have heard them then they should be reported. All my experiences have been positive and I'm pretty thankful because I always feel relaxed and comfortable seeking medical help when I need it.

Same dude.

Same as a non binary person it made me feel really valid lol

same as a demigirl

I didn't even notice. I've seen her video on trans healthcare and biology so I knew she was transfriendly, but it's so good to see that she's also paying attention to those little details of inclusive language!

@@persom7824 why u mad bro? I think I’ve seen you before so I will repeat what I’ve said “you mad cus your girlfriend became the moon?”

My cousin also got pregnant at 17 and she went to the gyn completely undecided on if she wanted the baby or not (she was just short over a month when she noticed) and they were so incredibly professional about her situation that they did the ultrasound with her and didn't even say things like "baby" or that they can see "it" on the ultrsound. 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.

I hope I’m not overstepping but what did you decide?

@@tahraethestoryteller6079 don't ask wtf

I’m not trying to be mean or judgmental, I am just genuinely curious. How did it take you almost 5 months to realize you were pregnant? Were you on birth control so your period was weird?

I got pregnant at 16 and I remember being absolutely terrified that I'd be judged by my dr! Thank god that wasnt the case. She handled it like I was just there for a cold, made me feel so much better about my situation.

Omg I was so sad. Let me be infertile dammit!

Same I was sitting there like ‘Well shit, that’s exactly what I want!’ Back to the drawing board I guess

Same

Damn it !!!! I just want no more baby !

Same with the Covid Shot. I WISH it made me sterile!

damn straight. there is literally nothing wrong with you, period😤

Hi fellow ace

I'm the opposite - birth control was definitely messing up my sex drive to a point. I've worked with my gyn to find a hormone profile that does it the least, so there's that!

I hate when people try to convince me that having an SO is needed. Um… no? My wife and I are both ace, sometimes we wanna cuddle. Mostly, we just want to read or watch the cats run around on catnip. Isn’t emotional closeness just fine? It works for us… (we just celebrated five years together, too)

I’m so so sorry, I know the pain of feeling like I’m broken because I don’t enjoy sexual contact like a lot of people do and the pain of being made fun of by those you love. He was an ass and you are not broken ❤️ I hope you find all the fulfillment and joy that you need in life.
