What a realistic appointment looks and sounds like when a doctor ACTUALLY cares about you and your health and provides a roadmap to healing. If i could go back and tell my younger self one thing it would be, don’t let anyone convince me to believe that being ✨young✨ is the magical gift to prevention in disease. For 25 years I went undiagnosed from lichen sclerosis. For 14 years, I was told by over 10 different OBGYNs I had chronic yeast infections and BV, despite medications not resolving my issues of pain, irritation, extreme itchiness, lesions, bleeding, thin skin, white patches all over the place, and terribly painful inter 👌👈🏼 Because of their negligence and age-ist mentality.. I lost one of my l***a minors and the other is also reabsorbing, have fusion of my premium from scar tissue which makes any type of intimacy so painful, been living with DECADES of pain and irritation, and an increase of v***ar cancer 👍 So beyond grateful I advocated this past year to get a v***a biopsy which confirmed my lichen sclerosis. I was immediately referred to a v***ar specialist, who is a SAINT of a woman! I have a long way to healing, but so grateful for answers, treatment plans, and a doctor who validates not only my current symptoms but all the ones that have gotten dismissed all these years! ***atok ***a
