 I remember reading that it was for the blood pressure and heart and the erections were a side-effect. But generally not the purpose of the drug

There was also a quote that "if men needed abortions then they would be available in a pharmacy without any prescription"

 So many things would be different if men had children…

As a CIS woman I’ve personally experienced many medical biases in my life. 

One example is me telling an OB-GYN about extreme blood loss monthly during my menstrual cycle. I already had two ablations done to literally stop my blood loss. Either way, the doctor didn’t schedule a hysterectomy. 

How did I eventually get him to take me seriously? 

Came into office with a Diva Cup inside. He asked me how much blood loss I had been experiencing since we last spoke. Asked to go to restroom & came back with it inside a plastic bag. Explained I had placed it less than 4 hours ago. Man literally gasped & scheduled my hysterectomy that day claiming it was a “medical necessity” & I needed to get that taken care of immediately. 

Me: OBVIOUSLY 🙄 

That’s just ONE experience 🤣

 Wow. What a story. I'm glad you managed but it shouldn't be so

 Appreciated. My hope is by telling others it **may** help change things. No idea. 😂
