what i'm writing: omegaverse drama
where my head's at now: god DAMMIT there'd be a latin word for omega males, and that would mean a different branch of medicine from gynaecology. i'm gonna have to make up fake latin to name a fake field of medicine for a fantasy version of humans where men can also get pregnant
#mgv#the counterpart to gynaecology is andrology so i suppose i don't have to make up a whole new word#i can just sorta. lump it in there. in mgv i guess there are OB-GYNs and OB-ANDs??#or is this just one of those things that still fall under ob/gyn territory and i'm gonna have to get over the >#fem-centric naming convention ('gyno-' means anything pertaining to the female reproductive system)#female omegas can get pregnant like males can but there are unique issues that can present depending >#on the omega's primary system hence the differing careers#so like i think the first thing i said is what i'm going with. we're being inclusive or something. it makes sense to me at least#and at this rate if i can make sense of it then thank fucking god we're going with it

hi, i have PCOS too and i wanna share with u (bc i know misogyny, transphobia n intersexism doesn't let this information get accepted or spread around) that it's a hormonal intersex condition. I've found relief from mine by taking Testosterone, and Estrogen and Progesterone make me sicker. it's not about the cysts, the cysts are a symptom of the hormones being fucky. basically all u can do is just experiment with doses of HRT until u find the one u need, and its important to not assume ur body needs the type that 'matches' with uterus/ovaries. but yeah we're intersex. doesn't mean we're not whatever gender we are, just that we are intersex + that gender rather than dyadic + that gender. we were made differently than other people and that's ok. InshAllah you find this helpful. 💚
hi i appreciate this. i don't have pcos but I'll share this for anyone who sees this that might
#avds.got.mail#ask#anon#i mean as far as i know i dont have pcos im like fat and hairy and whatever but my periods arent that painful and theyre pretty regular so#anyway the post was personal in that i know a lot of women in my personal life that have had issues with doctors but beyond being told#'youre fat“ everytime i have a problem alhamdulillah my gynaecological situation has been pretty fine 🤞🏼#but like obvs you dont need to directly experience smth to know its true hence me making the post

back pain that can't be stretched out no matter how hard you try is fucking unlawful.
#going to an osteo this week to see if that helps and also chasing up with my dr to see if it could be#gynaecological related. which has been an ongoing 4 year struggle to diagnose but that's another health issue#this is just so not funny anymore. like two months of near constant back pain. heat packs and deep heat everyday. what the fuck 😅#liz.txt

The NHS is hell (gynaecology edition)
Six weeks ago I had a pelvic prolapse of some sort. This caused varying levels of pain and discomfort. I havent been able to walk anywhere, or stand for more than a few minutes before experiencing pain. At the end of the worst days I have to push my insides back in.
I obviously went straight to my GP who was unable to examine me because it hurt too much to even get a finger in. At that point I basically didnt have a vagina, it was collapsed and squished, of course it was going to be tough to get a feel. GP referred me to gynaecology to get an ultrasound.
SIX WEEKS LATER I finally have an appointment. I get in (partner in tow for support) and am immediately asked:
Doctor: "Why are you here?"
Like??? Didnt you read the referral? MEe: "I've had a prolapse" Doctor: "How many children?" Me: "None" Doctor: Pauses and looks confused
Now, whilst it is far more common for people who've given birth to have a prolapse, it absolutely is not the only thing to cause one. I fall into basically every other risk category, it is NOT a surprise that this has happened.
Then I was asked to give my entire medical history and all the meds Im currently taking.
Like?????? WHY dont you already have that information???? I've waited six weeks in on and off agony, unable to leave the flat, holding out for this appointment, and now I have to spend the first half of it giving you information you should already have.
We move on to a physical examination. I explain that despite taking a pill to stop my periods, surprise! Im having a period. I have brought stuff to get me sorted and cleaned up (I use a cup, cant really be examined with that in) and explain Im happy to go get sorted so we can do this.
Doctor makes a rude comment like "If you'll let us examine you" like I didnt just make it clear I was happy to be examined. So now Im wondering wtf did that referral say? My GP hadnt been able to examine me because of intense pain when she tried, not because I didnt let her.
So I get myself sorted and lying on the examination bed. Im already very uncomfortable with being poked about down there for multiple reasons but I always suck it up because they're medical professionals and are here to help. For extra context, I have a skin disorder down there which means I tear very easily, things have narrowed or disappeared entirely, basically you have to handle me with care. I havent had sex in nearly six years due to discomfort both in and out.
Doc comes over, lubes up and dives straight in. If I hadnt just pulled my cup out of me, this in itself would have caused great pain. She then moves around wildly to get a good feel, hitting a tender spot and making me yelp.
"Oh, did that hurt?" she says, clearly surprised.
"Uh, yeah??" I say incredulously. Of course it fucking hurt. I have something out of place in that area and you just tried to scramble my eggs.
Doc abandons her examination and goes back to her computer. I am not given anything to wipe myself down with so Im left with a mass of lube and fluids for my pants to just deal with I guess.
I was then told I was being passed on to the womens hospital who will "make sure youre doing your kegel exercises properly" "I havent been given any kegel exercises though?"
Doctor looks surprised and slides a hand written note over to me. It has a website name for me to look up and learn from there.
Then it was over.
Without telling me ANY information about what was happening with my body. So did I have a prolapse? Did I not? Did she feel everything was fine? Did she feel something wrong?
I DONT KNOW
Im exactly as clueless as I was before I went in there, and now a little traumatised from the experience.
I waited six weeks, unable to live my life in that time, only to spend £20 I dont have to go to an appointment I didnt need. I was referred to get an ultrasound from gynaecology and instead I got an aggressive examination and then palmed off to the next clinic without a care in the world. I clearly stated when I went in that I am autistic and have ADHD but even if I wasnt I think I would have still been shook from her (lack of) bedside manners. I still dont know whats happening to my body. I still dont know what I should be doing, or not doing, to help this issue.
All I know is that I didnt get what I was referred for and now I cant pay my bills.
And I still have to stuff my insides back in on a bad day.

was brave and talked to my doctor abt my period bs + she said it might be endometriosis without me even having to bring it up... 💀
#shes prescribed me naproxen & tranexamic acid for now bc theyre basically the only 2 painkiller options i havent tried yet#but shes said she'll text me some resources on endometriosis and asked me to book an appt in january to update her#and then she can either issue a repeat script or we can go down the route of trying to diagnose a condition#which would likely take a long time so id probably have to try hormonal meds again in the meantime but she was rly understanding abt#the fact id had negative experiences w them before so was apprehensive abt it. so nice to have a dr who actually cares instead of trying#to fob me off w over the counter meds which is what happened last time lol#she was like wow im surprised they told you to take codeine for cramps thats not smth id recommend due to the side effects 💀#like damn. well ive been doing it for the last few years and yeah its not great#augh.... its ok tho i feel better now im actively doing smth abt it and looking for a diagnosis is an option thats available#bc ik how rare it is for gps to take patients seriously. the average diagnosis time for endometriosis is 12 years in wales 💀💀#my mums had such a struggle with gynaecology in her part of the country too shes been waiting for an operation for almost a year#and they booked her in for it and everything and then when she showed up the doctor was like im so so sorry i dont have access to a clinic#and i wanted to cancel your appt bc obvs i cant carry out the surgery without a clinic but the practice refused to let me cancel it#she showed my mum emails shed sent to management begging them to let her cancel patients she wasnt able to treat bc its such a waste of#everyones time and resources and rly shitty to do but they told her to 'watch herself and think about meeting her targets' 💀#bc cancellations look bad on their records so they were forcing her to hold appts without treatment anyway lmfao#insane country how is the nhs still functioning.#anyway thats todays medical report ik how eagerly u guys have been waiting on my pussy update#didnt ask abt antidepressants bc didnt have time and anyway im handling it better now its just taken a while to adjust to the shorter days#and the cramp stuff is way more pressing bc i get them for a week or two before my period AND when i ovulate now#so im probably spending equal amts of time in pain than not in pain every month now 👍#actually makes me feel fucking insane when i start thinking about it. its fine tho. okay im gonna piss and then go out again to sort out#everything ive gotta do today and then i can just chill this afternoon#how is it only 10am.....#.diaries

Understanding Puberty Disorders in Girls
Puberty is a critical phase in a girl's life, marking the transition from childhood to adolescence. This period involves a series of physical, emotional, and hormonal changes that prepare the body for adulthood. However, not all girls experience a smooth transition. Puberty disorders can lead to various health issues that require timely attention and appropriate treatment. If you're seeking effective girls' issue treatment in Indore, the best gynecologists in Indore are equipped to provide the necessary care and support.
What are Puberty Disorders?
Puberty disorders refer to any abnormalities or deviations from the normal puberty process. These can manifest in various ways, such as:
Precocious Puberty: This condition occurs when a girl experiences early puberty, typically before the age of 8. Early signs include breast development, pubic hair growth, and the onset of menstruation.
Delayed Puberty: When puberty doesn't begin by age 13, it is considered delayed. Symptoms include a lack of breast development, no menstruation by age 16, and minimal growth of pubic hair.
Irregular Puberty: Some girls may experience irregularities in their pubertal development, such as uneven breast growth or inconsistent menstrual cycles.
Causes of Puberty Disorders
Puberty disorders can arise from various factors, including:
Genetic Factors: A family history of puberty disorders can increase the likelihood of similar issues in girls.
Hormonal Imbalances: Problems with the endocrine system, including thyroid and adrenal gland issues, can disrupt normal puberty.
Chronic Illnesses: Conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or cystic fibrosis can delay or accelerate puberty.
Environmental Factors: Exposure to certain chemicals, poor nutrition, and extreme physical activity can impact pubertal development.
Symptoms to Watch For
Parents and guardians should be vigilant for signs of puberty disorders, which may include:
Early or delayed breast development
Early or late onset of menstruation
Excessive acne or body odor
Rapid or stunted growth
Unusual hair growth patterns
Diagnosis and Treatment
Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing puberty disorders effectively. If you suspect your daughter may be experiencing puberty issues, seeking professional medical advice is essential. The best gynecologists in Indore offer comprehensive evaluations and treatments for such conditions. Here's what to expect:
Medical History and Physical Exam: The doctor will take a detailed medical history and perform a physical examination to assess pubertal development.
Hormonal Testing: Blood tests may be conducted to measure hormone levels and identify any imbalances.
Imaging Studies: MRI or ultrasound scans can help detect abnormalities in the reproductive organs or endocrine glands.
Treatment Options
Treatment for puberty disorders varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition:
Medication: Hormonal therapy may be prescribed to regulate hormone levels and manage symptoms.
Lifestyle Changes: Improving nutrition, reducing stress, and modifying physical activity levels can help manage puberty disorders.
Surgery: In rare cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct anatomical abnormalities.
Indore is home to some of the best gynecologists who specialize in treating puberty disorders in girls. These medical professionals are renowned for their expertise, compassionate care, and use of advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques. Seeking girls issue treatment in Indore ensures that your daughter receives the highest quality care tailored to her unique needs.
Puberty disorders in girls can be challenging for both the child and her family. Understanding the symptoms, causes, and treatment options is vital for ensuring a smooth transition through this critical phase of development. If you're in Indore and need professional guidance, the best gynecologists in Indore are ready to provide the expert care your daughter deserves. Remember, early intervention can make a significant difference in managing puberty disorders effectively.

Gynaecology is backward. Honestly. Speculums, IUDs without sedation and adequate pain relief, cervical biopsies without sedation and adequate pain relief, refusal to diagnose things such as endometriosis. Medical gaslighting. Student hospitals performing smear tests on female patients who have gone into surgery for unrelated issues to “practice”.
IMO an IUD and also cervical biopsies should be considered surgery because in the case of IUDs, you are putting an object through the vaginal canal and into the uterus is invasive and literally a procedure done inside the body.

I wonder how many young 'cis' women are not getting their annual gyn checkups because they think it's terfy
i honestly doubt that that is an actual existing issue. it would require an extreme amount of brainrot to think a gynaecological check-up is terfy…

hi! i'm an intersex transfem who doesn't have access to gynaecological care because of the M on my documents.
You might be! But you’re anonymous so you also might not be!
But, regardless, intersex transfems who have an M on their documents do absolutely exist.
And there also are intersex transmascs who have experiences they share with transfems in transmisogyny. This isn’t used to say that transmisogyny isn’t a real and unique problem, just because there is overlap with intersex experiences in the same way you’re trying to say that your experiences overlapping with transmasc experiences mean that transmascs don’t deserve language to describe our experiences.
And, unfortunately, there’s a lot of examples of people denying the experiences of intersex transmascs in order to try to make sure that transmisogyny is ~unique enough to transfems~, or in other words, intersex transmascs who experience transmisogyny in very similar or even the same way trans women do CANNOT EXIST or else it somehow diminishes the experiences of transfems and/or the idea of transmisogyny.
Notice I didn’t deny what potentially are your experiences (I still have no way of verifying who you are because you’re anonymous) in order to say “and so actually transmasc experiences are unique enough”.
Transmasc experiences are as unique as transfem experiences, in that we deserve language to speak on our issues, even when there is overlap—and when there is that overlap, pointing it out shouldn’t be a “how dare you not include me”, or “using that word for talking about this experience is bad”, but a “and also”, or a separate post of your own as to not derail a specific conversation. (There’s a lot of posts I see about transmisogyny that are very close to my experiences that I don’t go “don’t say transmisogyny because there’s general transphobia in that too!” on because… why? My overlapping experiences don’t mean that there wasn’t also an aspect of transmisogyny, which would be the same for transmascs and transandrophobia.)
So like. Congrats. You pointed out that the whole “uniqueness of experiences” thing doesn’t fully work for one thing, but you’re in the territory of concluding that certain experiences are more inherently unique or unable to have overlap. Oh hey, anyone remember ace discourse?
#lol I should re read after I edit stuff#I accidentally leave in things I thought I got rid of before adding it in elsewhere

Hi Haitch.
I wanted to ask for help regarding a situation because I really didn't know who else to ask, but if you feel uncomfortable, please ignore it.
I wanted to know what to do in case one's vaginal fold swells up? One of mine swelled up so badly this morning that I can't walk, or sit. It hurts even when I walk like a crab. I'm not even on my periods or anything. I've tried pouring lukewarm water over it, but there's no improvement.
It's not like this is anything new. This happened to me about twice or thrice in past. But it never was this bad. The swelling, the pain, both. There's no sign of any blood or pus either. So I'm just really confused.
I googled it, to no avail at all. 😔
Don't be embarrassed; I'm very very happy to help and advise.
Tw/CW: gynaecological medical discussion
Okay, so while there are more than one potential cause, this sounds to me like the highest likely culprit is a labial cyst. When cysts form, unless the cyst capsule (essentially the membrane holding the cyst, like a bubble) is removed, they often get inflamed or infected and refill with fluid, and as such swell and become painful. Most of the time they cause little issues (we can develop cysts anywhere over our bodies), but if they're recurrent and/or painful I really do advise getting medical attention.
Seeing as it's unilateral (on one side) and otherwise asymptomatic apart from the swelling and pain, I'm gently ruling out thrush/candida, or other common infections of the genital tract.
Other possible contenders for what it is, off the top of my head:
Infected hair follicle
Inflamed or infected Bartholin's gland (one of the glands that releases discharge around the vaginal opening)
If any of these are regularly occurring, they can be surgically repaired. I honestly advise seeing an Obs/Gynae specialist doctor while it's inflamed like this if you can.
I'm so sorry you're sore. If you are able to (and you have no medical contraindications against it), I advise regular paracetamol and ibuprofen, for pain and swelling management. The key is *regular*-- take them every 6 hours for a few days. They have a cumulative effect that will help. Wear loose cotton underwear if you can, and air the poor girl out.
Again, I really feel for you. It can be very very sore.
Love,
-- Haitch xxx

Rant warning, medical issues warning. Please don't read if talk about chronic issues will trigger you, this is just to get things off my chest.
I am so exhausted. I have been ill since 2020, but December 2023 my health started getting even worse and it keeps progressing and the medical system is so frustrating. I had so many medical appointments this year that led to nothing. Even more that I needed but I juat cannot get through the wait list.
The myriad of gynaecological issues is actively shaving off my will to live. I have changed my gyno this year. After two visits I swore not to come in again after she screamed at me for coming in with acute inflammation week before my flight because "she is not there to worry about how I enjoy my vacation " I said it is not just vacation and I am leaving for two months. She said: "that's not too long. Unless it's 6 months, you can wait"
Thankfully I got lucky and they helped me in korea and haven't had an inflammation since as far as I know, but the lack of proper treatment fucked me up and I have been dealing with consequences ever since.
Similar thing happened to me earlier this year with another acute inflammation. I went to gyno er (completed empty) and the doctor kicked me out for taking space for really sick patients after she found out my main gyno is her friend. Her friend ruined my life in 2021 when she kept claiming there is nothing wrong with me till I got so bad my physio told me "I have never seen someone in a state as poor as yours". I will most likely never completely heal from it.
I have a suspicion for pcos or/and endometriosis. Sadly the only practioners that diagnose it in this damn country want insane money for each visit that I just cannot afford. Tell me, why do I pay 300 dollars a month for insurance?
There is a suspicion for breast cancer. I have been on a waiting list for an examination since end of May. Cool.
I am so desperate I am getting my wisdom teeth pulled out today just because there is a small chance it might help my body heal better and help it stay free of inflammation.
Out of pocket of course. What else to expect from dental care but hey, at least they will do it.
Endocrinology? I get tested in labs out of pocket, because no place accepts new patients.
I am exhausted from being my own doctor, being shoved around, waiting. Paying for what my insurance should cover.
I am tired of constantly finding new gynecologists.
I had to quit my job because my pain is so bad it is impossible to be on regular schedule.
And the pain in my arms? Don't get me started. I was getting a hang of it before my doctor (who I waited for for months) gave me random pills after he twisted my arm for a minute. After two pills I started loosing sense in my hands. Why? Because they were rapidly slowing down your blood flow. Why does a pill like that even exist and why give it to someone who had low blood pressure and possible POTS.
Anyways, it feels like I watch people around me live their lives while I am stuck in hell. I am sure anyone with chronic issues understand.
And I am angry and frustrated and most of the days I don't have the energy to keep fighting because honestly what for? So more health issues pop up?

Question for you. How do you feel about the one CEO saying Endometriosis isn't a gynaecological condition? I mean it technically is, isn't it?
https://news.yahoo.com/trans-ceo-charity-founder-says-210134975.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&uh_test=0_00
Oy vay, what now, lol. Gonna use my psychic powers to say we're entering a world of equality where women can have prostate cancer as well.
Gonna tl:dr at the end
Endometriosis is not a gynaecological condition, the founder of a charity supporting women with the disease has suggested, after appointing a transgender woman as its chief executive.
Jodie Hughes, the founder of Endometriosis South Coast, recently appointed Steph Richards, a trans woman and activist, as chief executive.
Ms Hughes told BBC Woman’s Hour on Wednesday that referring to the disease as a “gynaecological disorder” may be the reason medical research into the issue has not progressed further.
Endometriosis causes tissue similar to the lining of the uterus to grow outside of the womb, often causing severe pelvic pain. It can also affect fertility.
Another charity, Endometriosis UK, describes it as “the second most common gynaecological condition in the UK”. It affects around 1.5 million women in the country.
Appearing on the BBC programme alongside Ms Richards, Ms Hughes said: “Endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory condition. We need to move away from the gynaecological side of things because you don’t have to be born with a womb to have it.”
She also claimed endometriosis is “not a reproductive disorder”, adding: “It’s being seen as a gynaecological disorder maybe is the reason why the past 200 years research and medicine isn’t progressing.”
Ms Richards, 71, whose appointment drew criticism from some women’s groups, was asked on the programme if she could fully represent women with endometriosis when she previously had not used the word “woman” to describe those suffering from disease.
She said she was “happy” to use the word but did not want to ignore how endometriosis could also affect trans men and non-binary people.
Men diagnosed
Ms Richards also claimed that endometriosis was not only seen in women because 29 men had been recorded as being diagnosed with the disease.
“I look at women but I also look at the issue of trans men and non-binary people. There’s something like 5,500 trans men who had endometriosis who probably feel rather left out and also non-binary people,” Ms Hughes said.
The charity faced a backlash this week after appointing Ms Richards to the role.
Helen Joyce, director of advocacy at Sex Matters, told The Telegraph: “Endometriosis is a disorder that involves cells from the womb lining finding their way to other parts of a woman’s anatomy, and it can cause infertility.
“So, of course, it’s a women’s reproductive issue; it’s absurd and offensive to the many female sufferers of this debilitating condition to say otherwise. Yes, women who identify as men or non-binary can have the disease – how you identify obviously doesn’t change your biology. And, yes, there are a handful of cases in the literature where biological men suffer from something similar, but these are ultra-rare exceptions.”
Ms Joyce said that Ms Hughes’ remarks suggesting endometriosis should not be framed as a gynaecological issue were “offensive”.
“Endometriosis is poorly understood and researched precisely because it only affects women and our reproductive systems. This is part of the systemic lack of research and funding for “women’s issues”.
“The answer is for the medical profession to step up and do more for women – not to rebrand women’s disease by pretending they also affect men. People can’t in reality change sex, and men won’t start suffering from endometriosis even if we pretend people can change sex (and no man should want this disease; it’s horrific).” _________________________________
This entire article is lunacy.
For the first bit it's a gynecological condition because it's people with uterus's that get it
Endometriosis causes tissue similar to the lining of the uterus to grow outside of the womb, often causing severe pelvic pain. It can also affect fertility.
until they get the uterus transplant thing down this is something that will hit AFAB people and telling transmen this also almost sounds like telling them they don't need to go to a gynecologist to me.
It's not sexist or transphobic to say you need a gynocoligist if you have, vulva, vagina, uterus, cervex, fallopian tubes, ovaries and any bits I didn't mention, they're the doctors that specialize in those body parts
I'm very trans positive and supportive, this woman is an idiot however, and people are going to get hurt as a result of her being an idiot if she keeps going with this shit.
If you have a uterus you can get endometriosis.
If you have a uterus you go to a gynecologist to get those bits looked at, you can pull the gender away and be fine with it, gynecologist is a doctor that works on parts that 50% (or so) of the human population have.
Issues dealing with those bits are gynecological issues, make it gender neutral in your head if you need to.
We're getting dangerously close to a trans woman threatening to sue an oncologist because he said she has prostate cancer.
TL:DR; whole thing is insanity and will wind up killing people if they don't knock it off, you can call it whatever you want to call it but don't tell the professionals they're wrong on this one.
if it's a job for a OBGYN then it's a gynecological issue
