Dismissed for being young and female

It's understandable why many people feel discouraged about visiting their GP. I felt belittled during my appointment. I've been experiencing discomfort for several months that has been progressively worsening. I was advised to manage the symptoms until I could have imaging done, with the suggestion that since I've coped so far and am relatively young, I should be able to continue doing so. I had requested a work note to allow for breaks during my shifts in a demanding role requiring long hours on my feet. The response implied that younger individuals shouldn't have health concerns, and that my symptoms might be psychological rather than physical. I found this approach disappointing given the healthcare professional's position and responsibility to patients.
