Endometriosis is often underdiagnosed because of this and even other problems that may not even have to do with the uterus like UTI which can hurt in a similar way you'll get the "it's just your period". There are so many bad doctors like that even female doctors because the truth is that the female body hasn't been studied as much as the male body so there's still a lot that they're not sure of.aq And it's not just women, because skin ailments have been studied mostly in white people the conditions are described like what they look like in fair skin and they may look completely different in other complexions. Good for you for finding that pill!! I feel bad for 11yo you for having to go through all that pain. Women and girls deserve better treatment

Hi. I listen to half the podcasts on this list. My favorite podcast is oh no! Ross and Carrie they don’t just report on fringe science, spirituality, and claims of the paranormal, but take part themselves. For example, they did a whole series where they joined scientology. They took part in experiments with flatearthers. They go to psychics and then talk about their cold reading techniches etc It's very funny and they are very nice they don't go and try to debunk or whatever. They go with genuine curiosity and skepticism. They are on maximum fun which was recently turned into a co-op, I think that's pretty cool. Other shows I enjoy from max fun are Sawbones, it's about medical history and judge John Hodgman which is more wholesome fun. Another skeptical podcast I enjoy is Skeptoid, it's from another network, and has very short episodes every week. Adam Conover's Factually is also funny and educational
