[quote=Anonymous]CHANGE DOCTOR IF YOUR DOCTOR DOES NOT RESPECT YOUR CHILD'S PAIN!!!

Are you not aware that women and girls' pain and gynecological issues are routinely downplayed and minimized by doctors? My husband is a doctor, and he's aware as long as the patient can factually describe the symptoms, but you need to insist, and if needed, change doctors. Some of them are completely crap and not worth the ink on their diploma.

Parents like become complicit in the neglect of their children's symptoms when they believe the medical expert over their own child.

Get your child to an excellent female OB-GYN and insist they run every exam possible.

Your daughter will probably need to go on a contraceptive pill in the end. If this is what it takes to alleviate what sounds like HELL every month, then it's a small price to pay. My friend's DD had such heavy periods she needed a blood transfusion, and she had to go on the pill to regulate her periods. I wish that had been a possible option for myself when I was a teen and became anemic due to heavy periods!

It's neglectful and abusive of you, OP, to ignore obvious medical possibilities and reflexively jump on solutions that would make your poor child's life even worse. Imagine being sent to a place she doesn't know, with people who might not be kind to her, AND still be unbearable pain multiple days a month: I mean, do you hate your child?!?!?
