Send us a Text Message.Ever felt like you're navigating a minefield when it comes to dealing with medical providers? You're not alone. In this personal tale of health and advocacy, I'll share the rollercoaster ride I've embarked on since undergoing knee surgery. From recurrent UTIs to an overactive bladder diagnosis, this journey has been anything but smooth. Along the way, I uncovered the importance of having a solid team around you, including my stalwart husband, and setting clear criteria to find the right doctor, because your health is too important to be compromised.The road to optimal health isn't always straightforward, and the hurdles can be even higher if you're a woman. In this heartfelt chat, I recount my encounters with a family practice doctor who insisted on pushing bioidentical hormones despite my fears of cancer risk, and a urologist who suggested weight loss rather than running diagnostic tests. These experiences highlight the unfortunate issue of physicians often overlooking the real causes of a woman's health issues, and instead fixating on weight. Trusting your gut and standing up for your health rights is crucial, and I hope to arm you with the knowledge and confidence to do so. Tune in, as we discuss important ways to ensure we receive the care we need and deserve!For the Only Child Diaries:Check us out on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/onlychilddiariespodcast/orInstagram https://www.instagram.com/onlychilddiaries/andnow on Threadshttps://www.threads.net/@onlychilddiaries
