Never have I been in so much pain in my LIFE SMH

The only male doctor at my ob/gyn was visibly angry when I told him my experience getting the IUD. He said, “The women in this practice don’t give anesthetic and it makes me furious with them.” Way to be a decent human in a sea of assholes, dude.
This is my experience too, ironically. Lmao. One woman I even chose for her compassionate care awards. I never saw her again. I still generally seek out women doctors for other things.
My guess is that women who have had their pain dismissed for their entire lives fall into the trap of internalizing the dismissal.
This is actually a pretty good thought.
It’s literally fucking insane that it wasn’t recommended until, like, this month.
I sat in the room as my wife experienced the most brutal pain she has ever gone through. That woman has such a high pain tolerance that she scares me. And yet I felt sick just hearing her. The fact that they don’t anesthetize for this is criminal and fucking embarrassing as a society.
Even just some novocaine does wonders. I’m due a new one and I keep putting it off. I’ve had 3. One they gave me (fairly useless) paracetamol. I had one without anything and one with novocaine. Ironically the latter was my first (15 years ago!!). They seem to have gotten worse each time.
I believe I read that “women are unreliable informants of pain due to emotions. Where as a man can suppress his emotions and you get a real assessment of his pain.” Or something like that.
I’m a man, and, it doesn’t take a lot of study to know that pain is very different from emotional stress, especially when it involves GENITALS.
Since being seen by a neurologist for carpal tunnel, i have come to the conclusion that some doctors are just plain sadists. And I wonder if all this maltreatment of women came from some early docs that got together and went “y’know, we could cherry pick things here or there so we can get some good screams out of patients.” It worked too well, and they decided to protect it through practice because it was too much fun.
But I know the reality is that medicine is just plain sexist, and historically women were just “less important.” It’s fucked up.

A few years ago I was in therapy for my shoulder. A new guy started, and we were small talking. He mentions he hopes the economy doesn’t become socialist, because then he won’t make as much money being a docter when he’s finished with school. We’ve completely lost the plot.
My wife came home from getting hers still in tears from the pain. I offered to go with, but the doctor made her believe it was nothing. Not content in simply hurting my wife, they set the string so it cut my fucking frenulum the next time we had sex! Took us nine months to find and book a competent gyno to fix her razor vag.
The worst part is my wife got the IUD because it was recommended by the gyno after she had a tubal ligation. It was not there to prevent pregnancy. They claimed it would make her period easier, the opposite was true. All that trauma and pain for nothing.
Wtf?! My doctor suggested Endometrial Ablation and it was PHENOMENAL. Yeah, they put an electrical net inside of my uterus and burned the shit out of me, but it was a one time thing and it stopped my periods, PMDD, mood swings, and lessened the chance of my Endometriosis coming back. More women need to do this. I’m so so happy.
90 percent of women who have an endometrial ablation end up with a hysterectomy. You were very lucky. Don’t recommend them, plz.
I’m terribly confused and would like sources for this statement. I have a medical science degree; and none of my main sources, peers, or anyone in the Endometriosis community mentioned statistics remotely close to that… and I researched it thoroughly because I also had severe PMDD.
It was a wonderful, easy, low-pain, and simple procedure, which gave me my life back… and I was on my feet shortly after. I swear by it, and am severely immunocompromised, so anything healing related that can go wrong will go wrong; yet I’m great, years later, and so so happy.
The main risks mentioned: Periods coming back, bleeding, infection, harder to detect cancer, and (ironically) sterilization.
Could there be another medical procedure that was in mind?
Yes please cause FUCK the “women don’t have pain receptors down there”… IUDs and Cervical Cancer cancer biopsies are the 3rd and 4th most painful experiences I’ve ever had.
#2 is spinal tap, #1 is a labiaplasty… mine was medically necessary, but I want to scream at everyone who feels they need a labiaplasty to feel beautiful… 1 year of pain, 6 months without orgasms, so many complications, I screamed so loudly they had to sedate me again because I was TERRIFYING people in the hospital. It hurt so badly I thought death was preferable.
When I got mine in they gave me local anesthesia, and it was still the most painful experience of my life. Turns out rummaging around in your innards produces a type of pain unlike anything I’ve ever felt. I truly can’t imagine how awful it must be without any anesthesia.
I’ve got 2x whats literally called “painful rib syndrome” in English and I can barely get ibuprofen.
