How Do I Get Healthcare Professionals To Take My Symptoms Seriously?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I feel like despite showing clear symptoms of Endo, doctors do not take me seriously and usually this is because of my age. Both my mum and sister have had grade 4 Endo, but I feel like I'm going round in circles looking for a doctor that will take me seriously.

Honestly, I'd find an endo specialist and go straight to them, they'll take you seriously

Specially with familiar history and if you have symptoms you should go get checked. It sucks and I can't indicate you where to go but maybe someone from here can...
