Women’s health- is functional medicine a step in the right direction/ where to start
I’ve been dealing with a lot of issues in the down stairs department, and unfortunately have not got much help from various gynos/urogynos. I am only 28, never had kids so a lot of the issues I have aren’t considered “normal” for that so they seem to want to just ignore it and look at me like I’m crazy. I did get confirmation of stage 1 anterior prolapse and with that what feels like more laxity. It is bothersome to me in all aspects, from issues going to the bathroom, to decreased sex drive/internal sensation in the bedroom. No clue what has caused this, and I really want to get my hormones tested but I’m not sure even where to start and I’m so afraid to see another Dr that will just make me feel crazy. I was on birth control for quite a long time and didn’t have issues until I came off of it; and now I also have other issues around my periods too. I’m thinking the functional route may be the way to go, but it’s just overwhelming starting over.
