This dr did not listen to anything i told him, i feel extremely let down and now having to wait for a re-referral (6 months) for another dr. I am appalled at this persons attitude to my condition. I felt that he was dismissive of my pain and discomfort, And made me feel like I was making it all up. To quote one of his remarks when I said I was in pain and severe discomfort because of my Fibroid, “they don’t cause pain and they don’t cause bleeding” he also said "they grow really slow" well i told him mine tripled in size within 12 months and he disbelieved me even though i showed him the results of 3 separate scans!! Due to the length of time I have been suffering with this current condition , I have had chance to read various outcomes for the management of the Fibroid and was appalled when he dismissed them all and said I should consider a Hysterectomy as an option. Surely major surgery is a last resort? This dr needs retraining, he needs to listen to his patients.

Feel very let down by this Dr and do not feel he listened to me at all. I was essentially told there was nothing wrong with me despite being in debilitating pain each month and that 'pain is relative' and to just take painkillers (which I explained don't really help but he didn't listen). He told me I do not have endometriosis as my periods are regular (when I told him they weren't he just said that's not the information I have here and ignored me). The pain I am in every month stops me from being able to work or look after my child but apparently this is just normal. It took me months to get a referral from my gp to speak to a specialist and I have got absolutely nowhere. I am absolutely gutted that in this day and age women are being told that periods that stop you from functioning normally are normal. I have been discharged with nothing but a prescription for painkillers (which I know won't work and will upset my stomach), and still confused as to why I seem unable to conceive again despite trying for a year. He would not discuss my fertility concerns with me. I hope no other women have to experience the upset and frustration I am experiencing but whilst there are still Dr's like this practicing I am sure I will not be the last. Definitely would not recommend.
