Women can face particularly frustrating experiences when discussing their health with a doctor. Their concerns about pain and reproductive health may not always receive the attention and understanding they need.
Worse, they may even deal with insensitive and inappropriate responses. And if you’re wondering how bad things can get, here are some stories shared in a recent Reddit thread.
These accounts only prove that not every medical professional deserves to keep their license. If you have similar experiences you want to share, feel free to do so in the comments below.

“I guess you must be serious, if you brought your husband with you.”
I was 8 months in to trying to figure out the cause of chronic pain that was getting progressively worse, and was being pretty much brushed off. This was the first time my husband went with me to an appointment, mostly just to drive me because I was in so much pain. Later we would find a tumor the size of a baseball in my abdomen ruining one of my kidneys.

I was having an endometrial biopsy, first one. The old man doctor became irate with me because I let out a cry of pain. (I was in absolute agony). He looked at me with absolute disgust and said if I couldn’t control myself, I could get up and leave. I suffered in silence, shaking uncontrollably. He never said another word to me, but his nurse came in and hugged me. I will never know why, but he was soon after relieved of his job and I cheered that day.
That man HURT ME. Badly.

“No, that medication does not cause weight gain. It’s your depression that’s causing you to eat more.” Said to me by *two doctors*.
Flash forward a year – my cat is sick. They give her an appetite stimulant.
**Appetite. Stimulant.**
Same med as the one “not” causing my excessive eating and weight gain.

The stories on this list highlight a problem that many women face during their doctor’s visits. According to pain psychologist Dr. Samantha Meints, women are “viewed as hysterical,” which is why most of their health concerns are pathologized in a psychiatric way.
“Some of this is just due to social and cultural values,” Dr. Meints said in an interview with Harvard Health. “It’s a value for men to remain stoic in the face of pain or stress, while women are often more social and seek more support. The way they do that may be to share their difficult experiences, including pain.”

He told me I was pregnant infront my immigrant mother when I was only 13.
I WAS NOT. He didnt even test me or anything. I went in complaining of lower abdominal pain, and then it turned out I had blood in my bladder from an infection.

“The reason you can’t push your baby out (after four hours of pushing) is because you chose an epidural”. Turns out he wouldn’t come out because he had a double knot in his cord and every time he breeched he was starved of oxygen. Was too late for a C-section and luckily the next doctor was competent and got him out safely in one push/contraction. I would have punched her in the face if I wasn’t preoccupied birthing a child. Also, the epidural was the best choice according to second doctor, as they had to cut me up to get babe out safely.

Regarding my terrible cramps and mental health issues that came on only when I have (or am about to have) my period: “it might get better if you have children”.
As if that completely baseless and unscientific wives-tale is justification for bringing a child into this world to *maybe* fix my PMDD??
I’ve had both male and female Drs suggest this to me. Unbelievable.

There are also differences in pain thresholds between men and women. According to clinical psychologist Dr. Robert Jamison, women are perceived to have a higher pain tolerance, which may lead to the frequent dismissal of their conditions.
“There’s always this sense that women can go through childbirth, so they can withstand much worse pain than men,” he said.

It was a psychiatrist who thought the band tshirt I was wearing was demonic and the reason for my anxiety. He prescribed me converting to his religion. When I gave him my email, and it was from my university he said “I thought only smart people went there”.

Oh my goodness. The worst was after I’d had a couple of miscarriages and was pregnant again, seeing a specialist and found out at my six week ultrasound that pregnancy wasn’t viable either, but the baby had a heartbeat, but it was slowing so they were sure I would lose it too.
The specialist doc I was seeing got us in her office and she started laying out the plan for trying again “after this one’s over.”
The complete and total lack of empathy for me as I was processing the loss of a third pregnancy was devastating. I was livid and speechless at the same time.
I never went back to see her again.
20+ years later I can still get upset about it.
I work in the medical field now and have always taken the time to let someone process the news when it’s bad. It’s just not that hard.

Gender bias is one of the many ugly realities we deal with, and very unfortunately, it also happens in the medical field. Experts refer to this as “medical gaslighting,” and according to a 2024 study, it is more prevalent among women.
The study revealed that 45% of women who were going through genital pain were told they “just needed to relax more.” 39% were made to feel “crazy.”

I told the doctor I was having pancreas pain as I’ve had pancreatitis a few times already and knew the symptoms and what it feels like. He said “listen dollface, there’s no way you can feel your pancreas you probably have a stomach ache.” I was indeed having a flare up.

Not a doctor but a psychiatrist. I was about 12 years old and I was seeing him for medication to treat severe anxiety. I was barely able to eat so I was at least 20 pounds underweight when I started going. We found a medication that worked and I finally started getting my weight back up. I was still skinny but finally in a healthy range
During one of my appointments, he told me that I needed to watch what I ate because I was starting to get fat. My mom was *livid.* We left the appointment early and never went back
I actually ran into him at the grocery store about 8 years ago. He recognized me and at least had the decency to look ashamed.

Just got done nursing my first child and was ready to back on my ADHD medication. I was seeing a new primary care doctor since my old one retired. She asked me why I needed this medication and I told her my diagnosis should be in my medical chart. That apparently was not enough since she wanted details, when I explained my challenges she then said “how does your husband deal with you?”.

She said my feet hurt because I needed better shoes. A little over a year later I had surgery to break and reset a bone that had been broken years before and wasn’t treated so it healed wrong. If she had simply done an x-ray she would’ve seen that my first metatarsal was wrong.

A doctor told me that my pain in my lower abdomen was “probably just ovulation”, I knew he was wrong, went for a second opinion and was sent for an emergent CT. Ended up being appendicitis and was on the verge of rupture by the time the surgeon had me on the table.
Imagine assuming you know what ovulation pain feels like over the word of a woman who had been ovulating regularly for over a decade already at the time.

He jokingly-but-not-*really*-jokingly complained that I hadn’t shaved my legs before the appointment. He was a general practitioner, it was my first ever appointment with him, and the appointment was for a basic physical. I was 14.

I suffer from cyclical vomiting syndrome. When my illness was at its worst I was in and out of the ER and was down to 94 pounds. For reference I’m 5”3 and my normal weight is around 115-120.
I went to a new GP to get bloodwork and was explaining my illness and she looks at me and says “well, so many women want to be skinny and pretty like you”
Like ma’am, I can’t even lift my own arm I’m so weak. Needless to say I never went back to her.

Telling my mom’s story:
In the late 90’s she had extreme fatigue, unexpected weight gain, and a few other symptoms. She had to drink caffeine nearly constantly just to function. She could sleep for 12+ hours if she didn’t have an alarm. She went to the doctor who told her, basically, that her sedentary lifestyle was the problem.
She was busy raising 5 kids (age 9+) as a single mother working graveyard shifts at the airport to make ends meet. Meals were served, laundry was done, us kids were making it to school on time, the house was cleaned – she was not sedentary, but he wouldn’t listen. Doc basically said “You’re fat. Lose weight.”
Years later she went to a different doctor. They did a quick blood check and what do you know it – she has Hypothyroidism.

Not me, but my wife and I was in the room.
She was seeking treatment for a neck injury that was causing debilitating headaches. The doctor told my wife point blank “I won’t treat you until you lose 40% of your body weight.” She was heavy at the time, but her weight was not a factor in this injury.
We got a second opinion rapidly.

Not a specific event, but for over a decade I’ve been told that my insanely itchy legs are psychosomatic. I’ve seen various doctors and had tests done and since nothing is coming back positive for anything, people assume I’m making it up. Sure, because I WANT to be digging holes in my skin and hurting myself because the constant itching keeps me up all night.
Finally saw a different GI doc the other week due to gallbladder concerns, and when I mentioned the itchy skin, he casually goes ‘Oh, that could be a symptom of (various intestinal issues we’re investigating). Not surprising at all, maybe some of these treatments will help.’
My response was, quote, ‘Are you kidding me? You’ve seen this?’ and we talked about it a bit more. I wanted to cry. Someone finally believes me!!
Edit: okay, wasn’t expecting anyone to also have the same thing!! So, I have gallbladder issues in that it’s basically unalive, but I’m not in pain, and I just found out last month because I had a severe chest pain attack that landed me in the ER. I’m not getting it removed yet but it doesn’t seem to function anymore, I don’t know if it’s the exact cause or not. The GI specialist I saw put me on a med that helps with bile salt absorption, because a lot my stomach problems could be due to malabsorpion. And seriously, I’m not even the full two weeks into the med cycle and my near-daily bathroom runs after every meal are GONE. I also don’t have issues with dairy, so I wonder if I’m not actually lactose sensitive but it was all gut biome stuff. I’m waiting to hear back from the GI on a long term solution but colestipol has saved me and I hope it’s a step in the right diagnostic direction!

I have frequent headaches and migraines. The doctor asked me if I work in front of a computer…I said yes….”well there you go that’s why you have headaches! Stop staring at the screen!!!” Like I have a choice? How am I supposed to work!!
At OBGYN I was diagnosed with PCOS/PMOS and the doctor told me I need to lose weight and eat basically like a rabbit. I was 125lbs 😩.

Female doctor scraping my uterine lining for a biopsy that offers no sedatives or pain relief. I was gagging from the pain and the intense feeling of my insides being scraped away made me nauseous. She told me to take deep breaths. When she was done, she said “wow, that was hell for you!”

Any woman who’s undergone a procedure whether it be an IUD removal or also an endometrial biopsy will understand this pain.

I told him I had reoccurring throbbing pain near my groin for years and that sometimes it seemed to be triggered by certain foods. He said “well, stop eating those foods”.
He made no further attempts to figure out what was causing my pain and I continue to suffer today.
Edit: I want to thank everyone for your concern! I have seen many doctors since then and had ultrasounds. Nothing was wrong according to them. No further attempts were made to solve the problem.
I even went to the ER and they told me they would operate on me to see if it was my appendix but that even if it wasn’t, they would remove it anyway.
So, I’ve just learned to live with the pain.

Diagnosed with cervical cancer. First meeting with oncologist who wanted to do an internal exam with the speculum. I mentioned I had anxiety and it was painful for me (I mean, it’s uncomfortable for all of us but the cancer made it especially worse for me). Without warning, he pretty aggressively grabbed my legs and pushed them to the side, saying “well, you better suck it up and get used to it, because you’ll be having a lot more”.

Struggled my whole life with body / eating disorder issues. Turned to binge eating / laxatives in college and had my nutrition professor notice the signs and convince me to seek out my doctor at home. Was slightly overweight. Went in for the appointment and doctor (a man) looked at me and said “oh. You’re fine. When your mom said it was an eating disorder thing we thought you were going to come in looking like skin and bones”. Went on to struggle for 5 more years.

Went to get an STI check because I was starting a new relationship, and had asked my partner to do the same. The doctor was astonished that I was doing this proactively when I didn’t have any symptoms. He sighed and said “I guess this is just what ‘modern women’ are like”.

My gynecologist was up literally inside me and started giving me weight loss tips and “suggestions.” I reminded her, furious, that I had gone into eating disorder recovery a little over a year ago. She said “being a little overweight is just as dangerous or more as being a little underweight.”
I was maybe a size 8 at that time? I had gained a decent amount of weight, sure, up from being a size 0/2 and way, way too thin for my frame.
I obviously never went back, wrote scathing reviews, and moved on, but her saying those things to me while I was so incredibly vulnerable both literally physically in that moment, and mentally/ emotionally while I was still figuring out how to navigate recovery- it really upset me. I also had a ton of trauma around gyno stuff as I’d been dealing with cervical cancer/ hpv things for over a decade at that point and was already incredibly anxious just being there.
It was horrible. She is horrible.

ER nurse in my case. 1996. I was 22 years old, visiting my brother who lived in another state. Intense right quadrant pain sent me to the ER, and they needed an ultrasound right away so I had to be “filled up” and not allowed to drink the water. Received catheter on the spot (my first), and writhed in pain during insertion . ER nurse chided me, saying unless I’d birthed a child, I didn’t know pain. It wasn’t necessary a bad thing to say, but it was very unkind, and I was a frightened young adult. Turned out I had a large dermoid ovarian cyst, which I had surgically removed when I returned to my home state.

Because I had a history of depression I was required to talk to a therapist.

Me – in approx 2002 suffering from an ED and a crippling anxiety disorder seeing my (male) GP at 24 because my heart palpitations were keeping me from sleeping and I was legit scared o was going to lose my life. My hair was falling out everywhere. I was 5’9” and somewhere between 110-115 when my normal weight was still a very lean 135.
“Wow. You look fantastic. Still single? You’re in NYC now, right? My brother is a photographer there and does very well for himself.”
He gave me his brother’s number and no referral for any of the issues I can in for, other than the advice to “take a few days off and get a massage to relax a bit.”.

It was a female gynecologist, which makes it worse.
I was trying to explain to her how bad my period pains were, and how I’m bipolar. I wanted to go on birth control to try and regulate things.
She told me, “Well, what would your husband think? Don’t you want to have a baby?”
To her, I was just a baby maker and had no opinions. My body belonged to my supposed husband.

Went into labor and delivery at 37 weeks for decreased fetal movement. This is specifically what you are told to do by any OB. The intern on shift that night said “maybe I needed some medication” because I was anxious.

Welp. It happened recently. I was getting my IUD removed and I am in what they would call a “geriatric” stage in life but still able to get pregnant. The doctor said to me that I am a bit late.

I don’t know about worse, but a lifetime of being brushed off because of my weight has me scared of thinking I’ll never get meaningful help. For reference, I had been morbidly obese since I was THREE. I reached my goal weight at 28 (I’m 32F now).
Even now, at my goal weight, written in my record by my weight management doctor, stating I am at clinical goal weight I still have doctors telling me I need to lose weight. They then immediately follow up with suggesting I see a weight management doctor.
After stating that I already do and tell them that this is my goal weight per my doctor’s own analysis and that she’s been working with me for 8 years they still suggest I should ‘keep going’ and ‘it’s good for my health to lose more’.
This was stated at my last physical actually, when all I needed was an ENT refferal…..

I’m 8 weeks pregnant. Out of nowhere, I start having severe anxiety attacks, every 15 minutes. I’ve never had them before. I am having trouble breathing, my chest is tight, I’m crying uncontrollably. I then lose the ability to speak. I head to the ER. The male doctor looks at the notes taken at admission that my husband gave – exactly what I typed above. The doctor, in a real agitated manner, asked me, “was this a planned pregnancy?” I shook my head no. He let out a sigh, “here’s my advice…don’t get pregnant”. And gave me a shot of Ativan. I went home and an hour later, I had a miscarriage. Come to find out that the anxiety attacks were caused by the severe, sudden drop in hormones, from my body going through a miscarriage. What a jerk.

Went into premature labor at 16, so yeah I was a kid. Got pregnant my first time! Anyway, he put a speculum inside me to see if my water had broken. I was crying and tense, because it is uncomfortable as many of you know. A midwife held my hand, when I was starting to get a bit more upset he said and I quote “you weren’t crying when he shoved it up inside of you, were ya” referring to how I got pregnant. I was stunned. Even as an immature teen, i knew there was no way that was okay. I told my mam, who was in the waiting area, she ran around the hospital looking for him. I told a lovely delivery nurse who was amazing!! I guess he got fired because he never appeared at the new maternity hospital that opened ( all maternity hospitals shut down and went to one).

Not said but on my first gyn appt at 16 the (female?!!) doctor put the salad tongs in me, opened them, and left the room. I started yelling after 1/2 hour and she rushed in and just clamped them shut real quick and left without removing them. Like less than 30 seconds. It pinched me real bad and i kept screaming until they came in and FINISHEd the whole thing. Without apologies.

When I told my GP I had been short of breath for 4+ months, started out hearing crackling sounds when I laid down at night, which progressed to where I coughed up a clear bubbly phlegm any time I tried to lay down and had to start sleeping upright.
“**Well you did gain 10 pounds since I saw you last year! You need to work on losing weight.**”
Two weeks later I got admitted to the ICU with congestive heart failure on my 24th birthday. That ten pounds was built up fluid on my chest because my heart wasn’t able to pump properly so more and more fluid just kept building up. I very nearly lost my life and still 4 years later struggle DAILY with everyday tasks because my heart is bad. I’ll have to have a heart transplant at some point in my life without a doubt. Got an ICD in my chest that’ll need replaced every 7-10 years. I’m going to be living with this for the rest of my life. And my life expectancy has decreased significantly.
I try to have a little grace and say maybe my GP missed it because who expects a perfectly healthy 23 year old to get heart failure? But like. Honestly. When you google “crackling sounds when I breathe” like the second thing it gives you is heart failure. The first is pneumonia. My GP told me to eat less.
Also the same guy who refused to send me for a scan when I had a kidney stone that wouldn’t pass because he thought I “might want kids someday and the scans could hurt my fertility”.

I went to the ER because I was bleeding heavily.. I’m talkin going through a tampon and pad every half hour.. I went alone thinking I’d be fine. The doctor refused to listen to me and said that at my age (I was about 23 or 24 at the time), I should know what a heavy cycle is. He discharged me and I continued to bleed. I went to another ER and come to find out that I was actively miscarrying.

Wasn’t so much what he *said,* but when he did some testing on me and it was negative, i asked him if i could possibly have a particular disorder I’d recently learned about. he literally just laughed in my face, then moved on like I’d said nothing, and gave me a lecture about not using screens or eating anything for at least 4 hours before bed, even if that meant i couldn’t do my homework (i was in high school at the time), and sent me on my way.
anyway, I’m now diagnosed with that thing i thought i had and doing much better thanks to treatment, but i had to drop out of school and lose the first half of my 20s to struggling to even work part time jobs before i got there.
honorable mention to the (FEMALE!!) OBGYN who told me i wasn’t actually experiencing cramps when not menstruating, and that the pain was in fact my IBS, and I just couldn’t tell the difference bc they’re both in my belly.
