Chelle/] Men's issues and why some are taken more seriously than others

[Guest guest]

Chelle, my comments pertain to men and their incredible reluctance to see a doc.DustyChelle wrote: Anonymous wrote: >>>>>>>>>>>>. the sufferers wait waaaaay too long to get help because of the sensitive nature of the problem. The disorder is usually firmly ensconced by then and when docs hear the things we've done to ourselves to try and fix it, they are usually looking at us like we are nuts. I think the main problem is still WAY too much ignorance on the part of the medical community. My main problems with getting treatment for vulvar pain have been: 1). Misdiagnosed with Infections that I

did not have 2). Totally dismissed without even trying to help due to IGNORANCE. From the posts I read these days, a lot of gals on here have moved quickly looking for medical help. At times I am amazed at how many different kinds of treatments a lot of ladies have 'pushed' for in a relatively short amount of time (more power to you, ladies *grin*). Medical textbooks still have info in them referring to female sexual pain as being "psychosomatic"....there needs to be MORE updated info on women's health in general!!! Education is the key....
