Misdiagnosed and dismissed for ten frustrating months

I battled a devastating stomach infection that plagued me for an extended period. My symptoms were debilitating - fainting spells, intense nausea, complete immobility, and an inability to consume food or water. The illness forced me to take medical leave from work. I repeatedly visited the doctor's surgery, desperately seeking someone to listen to my concerns. Despite undergoing numerous tests, medical staff consistently reported my results as negative and normal. After an excruciating 10-month journey, I was finally referred to an endoscopy at another hospital. Remarkably, within just five minutes of the procedure, they definitively diagnosed my stomach infection. I was left questioning why it took an entire decade for healthcare professionals to provide a proper diagnosis, especially when staff who barely knew me could quickly identify my condition. Adding insult to injury, every male doctor I encountered obsessively questioned my menstrual cycle, baselessly accusing me of pregnancy and refusing to renew my essential period pain medication. The number of pregnancy tests I was forced to undergo, both during and outside my menstrual cycle, was absolutely ridiculous. The sole bright spot in this medical nightmare was the female doctors, who demonstrated genuine compassion, truly listened to my concerns, and provided honest, helpful care. Notably, I only received meaningful medical interventions and hospital referrals from these female healthcare professionals.
