hey there👋 Look, I know I’m probably about to sound incredibly dense here, but I’m genuinely curious if anyone has dealt with diaphragm issues before. Specifically, is it actually possible for a gynecologist to get the sizing completely wrong during the fitting process? I’m looking to pick one up, but I have no idea if it matters which doctor I see—I’m actually planning on switching my OB-GYN later this year anyway. Since I am essentially starting from zero knowledge on this whole topic, I would truly appreciate any advice or insight you might be willing to share!
Yes, I suppose I have to play the role of the promoter today, so here goes: I highly recommend picking up *Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom* by Dr. Northrup.
It’s an exploration of both conventional and alternative gynecology, covering everything from common issues to various interpretations and potential treatment paths. Does anyone else ever wonder why we aren't taught this kind of holistic insight much earlier?
I dealt with these absolutely brutal pains back in high school, and they just seemed to linger longer and longer as I started leaning more heavily on painkillers to cope. It eventually reached a point where I spent five straight days completely numbed out on pills, from sunrise to sunset.
The intensity finally settled down to something manageable once I stopped harboring such intense resentment toward my own reproductive system and the simple reality of being female.
Nowadays, the pain flares up much more sharply whenever I’m under heavy stress, yet when life feels genuinely good, everything stays relatively quiet.
I suppose none of this is particularly useful to anyone else, but I felt an overwhelming need to get it all down on paper.🙂
