You emerge sweating, shaking, wondering what just happened, with your plans for the day erased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve had those kinds of periods before, and if you have too, I\u2019m so sorry. Perhaps you have your own \u201cdeath cramps\u201d story, or perhaps you\u2019ve experienced a different, equally disturbing menstrual-related disorder like <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/does-pcos-cause-depression-infertility-symptoms-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PCOS<\/a>, PMS, or <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/premenstrual-dysphoric-disorder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PMDD<\/a>. Or perhaps you\u2019ve experienced hardship from a different health concern that disproportionately affects women. For example, 78% of people with an <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/15550215\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">autoimmune disease<\/a> are women [1]. Furthermore, women are twice as likely to experience <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventhealth.com\/blog\/12-medical-conditions-impact-women-more-men\">mental health<\/a> issues like anxiety, depression, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptsd.va.gov\/professional\/treat\/specific\/ptsd_research_women.asp#:~:text=Women's%20experiences%20of%20trauma%20have,interpersonal%20violence%20within%20a%20marriage).\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PTSD<\/a>. And while each of the diseases that women face come with their own distinct brand of suffering, part of that suffering stems from a <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/women-excluded-from-research-trials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lack of research<\/a> and understanding that stands in the way of receiving proper care.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>While each of the diseases that women face come with their own distinct brand of suffering, part of that suffering stems from a lack of research and understanding that stands in the way of receiving proper care.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In Kate Downey\u2019s case, the only long-term treatment offered for her debilitating dysmenorrhea (the clinical term for painful periods) was hormonal birth control, which decreased the frequency of her pain, but did not make the problem go away. Without a diagnosis, she was stuck for years until she decided to find answers\u2013no matter the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2023-03-14\/the-cost-of-an-endometriosis-diagnosis\/102031662\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost<\/a>. And while painful periods and endometriosis <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/silent-endometriosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">don\u2019t always go hand-in-hand<\/a>, it probably doesn\u2019t come as a big surprise that Kate Downey\u2019s journey led to an <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/considering-endometriosis-surgery-heres-how-to-find-a-good-endo-surgeon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">excision surgery<\/a> to remove the endometriosis lesions that had been causing so much suffering. And while Downey finally received a solution after <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/endometriosis-teens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">decades<\/a> of pain, she finds herself exploring new questions: why did she have to suffer for so long without treatment, and how has this shaped her as a person?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And since Downey\u2019s story of decades of undiagnosed and untreated pain isn\u2019t unique, what are our own answers to these questions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-system-that-stops-asking-questions\"><span id=\"a-system-that-stops-asking-questions\">A system that stops asking questions<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Birth control is often treated as the only tool in what should be a full toolbox for treating reproductive and endocrine disorders. And while there\u2019s not one simple reason for this, at the heart of the issue is the fact that it\u2019s faster and easier to prescribe than to investigate. Longer appointments mean doctors see fewer patients, earning less. I once interned at a practice where patients praised the doctor for listening deeply\u2014yet behind the scenes, he struggled to pay his staff. And entering into a journey of medical investigation with a patient can be <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/doctor-doesnt-know-about-fertility-awareness\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emotionally taxing<\/a> as well as time-intensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, doctors may lack training or resources to start this journey in the first place. We know a <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/what-do-doctors-know-about-fam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">minority of doctors recommend<\/a> fertility awareness methods to their patients, let alone have the training and expertise to interpret menstrual cycle charts and recommend tailored solutions. And these solutions can be hard to provide. Another doctor I shadowed was trained in <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/fertility-awareness-naprotechnology-natural-solution-endometriosis-pcos-infertility-womens-health-062018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NaProTechnology<\/a>, but she had to inform her patient with severe endometriosis symptoms that the nearest excision specialist she knew of practiced 400 miles away. Granted, this was over 10 years ago, but the specialized care offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/restorative-reproductive-medicine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Restorative Reproductive Medicine-trained healthcare professionals<\/a> can still be hard to find, especially in smaller towns. Without a better solution to offer, doctors may deflect, offering superficial treatment like hormonal birth control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cards-stacked-against-women\"><span id=\"cards-stacked-against-women\">Cards stacked against women<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, these explanations don\u2019t even account for factors like the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10937548\/#:~:text=However%2C%20women%20often%20face%20challenges,addressing%20its%20underlying%20medical%20conditions.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gender pain gap<\/a>\u201d or the tendency for women\u2019s reports of pain to be questioned or dismissed [2]. One example of this, published in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ahajournals.org\/doi\/10.1161\/JAHA.121.024199?itid=lk_inline_enhanced-template\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Journal of the American Heart Association<\/em><\/a>, found that women who visited an emergency room for chest pain had to wait longer to be seen and were less likely to be admitted to the hospital than men with similar symptoms [3]. Another example is one of the many stories published by the <a href=\"https:\/\/autoimmune.org\/its-all-in-your-head-recognizing-the-plight-of-women-living-with-autoimmune-diseases-on-international-womens-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autoimmune Association<\/a>, in which Lilly Stairs recounts being sent away by the ER multiple times because \u201c[n]ot one person believed [her] pain was legitimate but rather attention or drug seeking behavior\u201d before a test finally revealed bleeding ulcers in her small intestine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When biases against taking women seriously in general are coupled with <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC11113068\/#:~:text=It%20is%20widely%20believed%20that,a%20pain%2Drelated%20motivational%20deficit.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">biases against menstruation<\/a>, care becomes even more difficult to access. The <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/documentary-period-end-of-sentence-highlights-importance-fertility-menstrual-health-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stigma<\/a> around talking about periods, the belief that intense period pain is <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/what-causes-painful-periods\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">normal<\/a>, and a fear of being dismissed as dramatic or weak can make it difficult to push for care related to menstrual disorders. There\u2019s also a view that debilitating menstrual disorders like endometriosis don\u2019t qualify as a \u201creal\u201d disability or chronic illness, especially since birth control can sometimes lessen symptoms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a particularly maddening article published in the May-June 2024 edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whijournal.com\/article\/S1049-3867(23)00209-8\/fulltext#:~:text=Individuals%20in%20the%20United%20States,how%20disability%20decisions%20are%20made.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Women\u2019s Health Issues<\/em><\/a>, the authors found that women with severe endometriosis symptoms seeking disability status for supplemental income encountered obstacles like not having \u201cobjective evidence\u201d for their endometriosis, and that \u201ccourts expected claimants to use treatments such as contraception or <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/if-youre-considering-a-hysterectomy-for-endometriosis-read-this-first\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hysterectomy<\/a> without addressing the risks of such treatments or the fact that they might have been counter to claimants\u2019 needs and preferences.\u201d Courts also used the cyclic nature of menstrual disorders to dismiss appeals, stating of one claimant: \u201c[a]ll of her physicians during this period indicated that her pain, although severe, was intermittent in nature.\u201d [4]&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-women-learn-to-distrust-the-medical-system\"><span id=\"women-learn-to-distrust-the-medical-system\">Women learn to distrust the medical system<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In recounting her hit-or-miss experiences with emergency rooms, Kate Downey recounts, \u201cIf I\u2019ve had this experience over and over and over again of seeking help when I really need it, not receiving the help, but paying the cost of the physical effort, the money that I don\u2019t have, the emotional cost, and I don\u2019t leave any better off than I was when I went in&#8230; why would I keep doing that? But also, what other option do I have?\u201d Asking for help and not receiving it\u2014especially after dealing with the emotional and financial costs\u2014can make women less likely to seek care in the future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Asking for help and not receiving it\u2014especially after dealing with the emotional and financial costs\u2014can make women less likely to seek care in the future.&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When I told my own doctor I had severe dysmenorrhea but wasn\u2019t interested in birth control, I was told, \u201cCome back when you\u2019re ready for birth control; in the meantime, consider taking an ibuprofen.\u201d So, I never brought it up again. And while changing practitioners can help, it\u2019s not always an easy process, and some women may experience a lack of trust in medicine in general, and look to alternative options or delay treatment for medical conditions altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-and-worse-distrust-themselves\"><span id=\"and-worse-distrust-themselves\">&#8230; and worse, distrust themselves<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When doctors respond to pain with \u201cthat\u2019s normal\u201d or \u201care you sure?\u201d, it isn\u2019t just frustrating\u2014it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/is-your-doctor-not-listening-to-you-what-to-do-when-you-experience-medical-gaslighting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">medical gaslighting<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first, it hurts; it sends the message \u201cyou don\u2019t matter and I don\u2019t believe you.\u201d But, eventually, this message may start to sink in. As Downey pointed out in her podcast, \u201cHaving your reality denied by someone that you trust, that you depend on, over and over and over again, has ripple effects that go way beyond medical care.\u201d Women themselves may start to wonder, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/podcast\/nw-podcast-s3-ep4-she-wasnt-hysterical-she-was-sick-with-endo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">maybe they\u2019re right, maybe this is all in my head<\/a>.\u201d They may make a habit of not listening to their bodies, questioning their experiences, and wondering if they are simply being oversensitive to what everyone insists is \u201cno big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Downey goes on to propose that trusting your gut and being able to consider a problem from intuition are valuable skills that medical gaslighting can cripple. She describes \u201cAnd if we take it beyond the medical, I&#8217;ve been in a dating situation where I could feel something was off, something wasn\u2019t adding up [&#8230;] I didn&#8217;t have facts to back up my feelings, so I ignored them for over a year. Thankfully, I parted ways with this person, but I learned years later they had repeated the pattern of behavior [&#8230;] and, eventually it escalated\u2014they assaulted someone. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s accurate to draw a <em>completely<\/em> straight line from having your period pain dismissed to ending up in a potentially harmful relationship, but there\u2019s not <em>no<\/em> connection.\u201d Her chilling story touches on the issue of sexual assault and harassments, another field where women\u2019s experiences are often questioned and met with \u201care you sure?\u201d instead of sympathy and help. The biases that affect women\u2019s medical treatment options are not contained to health care, and may actually help reinforce others, by ultimately calling into question the overall trustworthiness and dignity of women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>The biases that affect women\u2019s medical treatment options are not contained to health care, and may actually help reinforce others, by ultimately calling into question the overall trustworthiness and dignity of women.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hoping-for-a-better-standard-of-care\"><span id=\"hoping-for-a-better-standard-of-care\">Hoping for a better standard of care<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When women are prescribed birth control as a cure without actually being cured, there are consequences. Feeling like no help is possible leads to hopelessness, and the experience of being sent away without answers can lead to feelings of isolation. Women may think, <em>Am I the only person going through this? If millions of women had the same problem as me, surely there would be a better solution by now<\/em>.<em> Or maybe there\u2019s just something wrong with me, and I can\u2019t handle the same pain everyone else feels<\/em>.
