Not Taken Seriously, Delay Unacceptable

"Not Taken Seriously, Delay Unacceptable"

About: Worcestershire Royal Hospital

Saw the endocrinologist on the 9th of November for testosterone replacement therapy change. Say's they'll write a letter to my GP for Nebido injections.

It's not the 28th, and no further forward.

Since being in the West Midlands healthcare system I have flatly found they don't give a damn about men's health and hormone treatment. If I were a woman, I'f have HRT thrown at me until I was drowned in it. Men? We can wait, suffer the symptoms and just be quiet. Someone will do something at some point.

Absolutely disgusted, from beginning to end - I've had to even educate the endocrinologist on aromatase enyme and estrogen conversion from excess testosterone. Is no one even aware of what this is? Didn't even know of a study on it.

Shocking isn't even the word. Sexist, discriminatory and painful to go through.
