If a man was bleeding like that they wouldn't tell him 'just put up with it, it's menopause', or 'it's just stress' or 'give it a few more months and let's see if it settles down'. It took me 6 doctor visits before I managed to get my female hormones tested and the test result shows no menopause (I am 48, mum had hers at 57). By the time I got the pelvic ultrasound referral I was at wit's end and then I luck out with a gyno who tells me to work out my options and study operation procedure on a website. We pay the same tax as men, why don't they take our health seriously? How can I compete in the workplace on a level playing field in an all male office with this going on? It's not fair!
