After bearing two children, my body is doing and getting things I am mortified to go report to a doctor. as daunting as the visit is, for me to enjoy my life I will have to get help. The question is what kind of brave face and courage I need to drag to the doctor to admit my problem.
When you are preggies you get countless check-ups which eventually desensitizes you of your private parts being exposed. When you give birth there isn't much privacy and the lovely pain kills all your inhibitions. Yah, the nurses remind you every second that they were not there when you were davazing so deal with it… and they get paid.
I have piles - huge horrible sore piles. Going to the loo is like going to the slagpal. I'll spare you the details and get to the point - we often take our bodies for granted and pray or hope for a long life. Silly Silly people. When you know your body is saying – hey, I am in trouble. You can still help me… you ignore it and think “later”. It may be a weight-loss or gain, a headache, a painful leg, a flatulent time, a mobilizing period or a pile.
All I need is courage to go see my extremely understanding and wonderful doctor and bare it. I am certain she has seen worse but it wasn't my arse. At this point, I have no choice but would be open to a lactose intolerance test or a Panado (which doesn’t help in this case) than an arse check-up. I eat so much food with fibre that I could turn into an all-bran flake but it is not helping my situation.
King K tries to comfort me with words or questions like "the odd natural fart during sex or when laughing due to undigestion of milk ain't this bad, right? But as embarrassing as it is, I got tested". My dear hubby takes his health so serious I think there isn't specialist he has not seen. I have no qualms with getting my annual pap-smear but am terribly scared of a bumhole-check.
Wwhat medical condition have you suffered and has completely made you feel mortified to go back to the same doctor? How did you handle being touched during these visits? What did you learn from waiting too long to report that medical condition? What advice would you give me if you have had piles?
