We want to see about the issues you ’ve face .

Going through medical procedures can be challenging enough, but there’s another layer of stress when others want to give their unwanted and sometimes even sexist input about your body.

Maybe a doctor told you to wait to have your tubes tied in case your significant other wants more children and that you’ll regret it, even though you clearly expressed wanting the procedure.

Or maybe a family member invasively questions your decision-making regarding your procedure because you don’t have a partner.

Or perhaps you’re doctor dismissed your pain during your post-operative care.
