The endocrine system in a female is very complicated. I have something bizarre going on and the first Dr is a complete idiot..doesnt know how to deal with it. Some Diabetes endochronolgy doctors dont know all about the entire system. Finally got to a surgeon who agreed to order an MRI.
It is complicated, a specialist is required.
One odd problem some women face is endometriosis, the uterine lining sort of starts growing outside the uterus... and sometimes rambles pretty far..
Something that worries me is the trend to treat young women with hormones to halt those pesky periods.... there may be some problems that will show up later in life from such meddling.
