@pur1rucha I assume you are in the US? Do you have a gyn or uro-gyn you can be referred to for this? Seems out of the realm of GP competency--naprosyn ONLY? that is quite dismissive of your pain and disruption of daily life. But many drs dismiss women's pain so there's that.
I'm older and finally (after > 5 yrs of problems, interference with daily life) finally got an answer on hernias (plural) but had to be my own best advocate. At least my primary care, an NP (female) is willing to listen and take me at my word on how this is impacting my life.
If you need resources on who might be an expert provider
check out the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health

@terry1976 thank you so much, I am in Canada but thank you for your advice. We do also have to advocate for our own selves here! I do have an appointment this PM with an NP ( or Functional medicine/Integrative) doctor and will ask him for his advice and recommendations. My GP is a new doctor and I’m really hoping that she advocates for me in all things related to my health. I had to leave my former GP because he is not available for in person appointments anymore, only via phone and I needed a complete physical test done soon.
Thankfully I found this lady GP as it us very hard to find doctors that take new patients.
Do you know if dilation of the vein up to 8mm. requires a surgery to correct it? I might go back to my new GP or ask my NP/F/I doc to order that doppler ultrasound for me or refer me to a GYN specialist🙏🏽
Thank you again!💖
