Women of reddit: How do you make the doctors listen to your concern?

I used an FDS spray on my labia on time and found out I was allergic, I went to the OGBYN and couldn’t get my main doctor so I got this other male doctor who never has patients I swear.

The male OBGYN walks into the room and takes one look at my labia and says “you have HIV”. I tried explaining but he was having none of it. I allowed him to do the rest for HIV because I was feeling petty that day.

Of course it came back negative so his next option was to completely ignore the allergy and tell me to stop shaving my pubic hair. So that was an expensive day of being HIV tested and being scolded for shaving.

Anyways Cortazone on the labia plus a weekend with an ice pack helped if you’re ever in that situation.
