The study later got retracted due to backlash but the fact that it happened at all if fucking baffling.
Don’t forget this study that instead of studying the causes or cures for endo studied the mental effects of the men in a relationship with someone who has endo.
And I’m still denied my requests to “just rip out my uterus I’m not using it dear lord please” despite being with the same guy for 20 years. Hhhh
Because one day you’ll realize that bearing children is your only real purpose and then you’ll be thankful to all those men who knew better than you!

It’s not always male gynos. It’s often female ones as well :<
That makes me really, really sad. My partner presents with symptomology consistent with endometriosis and wants to get it investigated but has had shitty luck with male doctors so is now specifically seeking a female doctor, and the thought that she might have to deal with the same condescending and paternalistic shit makes me quite angry.
I’m sorry I’m advance! It sucks! I hope your partner finds a good one! I’m limited by my insurance so maybe they’ll have more luck!
I’ve got a friend with Endo and this is the exact same thing the doctors told her. Same sitch as well - She or her Partner don’t want kids.
“Well, you might change your mind one day” is the kinda responses she always used to get
Maybe after my 20th wedding anniversary they’ll consider it. Briefly. Before changing to “but you’re so close to menopause now, just wait!”
