I am outraged at the way i have been treated in this hospital. I have been passed back and forth between gynae and my own doctors due to abnormal bleeding and many other concerns.
At the start of the year i had a transvaginal scan and was sent home with no information and concerns as if nothing was wrong. Then several months later was told by my own doctor my results and was shocked that the hospital never informed me. My doctor told me i had a suspected polyp and it was nothing to worry about as they are harmless and would eventually just be removed. Then after several more doctors appointments they had came to the conclusion i have suspected endometriosis as i have every single symptom.
I have had multiple Transvaginal ultrasounds and regular ultrasounds for the gynae team to now being referred for a Hysteroscopy to be removing said suspected polyp and for a d&c which i was also not informed about at time.
I was also given incorrect information by this doctor, they told me it would be a keyhole procedure in through my stomach when it is in fact not that. I am being told i have one thing and being treated for a completely different thing.
I am very young and being treated so badly about something that could seriously affect my life to come. I can't even go about my day to day life the same as i used to including leaving my job, this is seriously affecting my mental health. I need answers as to why i am not being treated for the condition they think i have (endometriosis) and why i am not being told correct information and then not being told anything at all.
