Can it be normal

Oh dear-- 5 days and no replies...we members are usually faster than that. Sorry.

I am not a medical person, but I have had experience with doctors and worry.

You wrote "my doctor." If the doctor was not a gyn, then I would see a gyn about it.

If the doctor was a gyn, then I can think of a couple of things you can do.
First, if the gyn took a complete family history, did all the usual (internal exam, pap), then that's a good thing! And maybe there really is nothing to worry about. It could be peri-menopause or stress or something. Ideally, the doctor has considered your entire health history and current status. If the doctor didn't do all of that usual stuff, then you should have it done, either at his office or elsewhere.

Another thing you could try is this. Try to pinpoint why you are uneasy about the "normal." Is there a family history of problems? Are there other things happening in your body that you didn't explain because they seemed unrelated or you forgot about them at the appointment? Are you having gut or urination issues, too, maybe? If there is a specific reason-- or a couple of them-- for your lack of trust in what the doctor said, then it will help the doctor or nurse to explain it better and to reassure you, or to decide to run some tests.

Contact the doctor's office and ask to speak with the nurse, or you might need to make another appointment to speak with the doctor. Explain that you are still uneasy and want to know "why" the doctor thinks it's normal. And, if you were able to pinpoint why you feel uneasy, then tell it to the nurse or doctor. You could ask if there are any scans or tests that could double check your insides, because you need to be mentally healthy (reassured that it is indeed normal) as well as physically "normal."

In my opinion, we as patients have the right to understand what a doctor said when we leave a doctor's appointment. This doesn't always happen. Sometimes we forget or misunderstand important points, or we need time to digest the information. Some doctors don't explain well, or won't explain at all.
SO, in my opinion, you have the Right to call back and get reassurance or an explanation from the doctor or his nurse.
On a less important note, you paid for their service. You should come away assured that you have received good care.

Finally, you could get a second opinion from another doctor. Ask your primary care doctor about it, or go to another gyn.

I hope that this post doesn't sound too bossy and that it may help you somehow! Take care and keep us posted on your situation. 🙂

I don't get what you mean. Do you mean that you had only 2 periods in 6 months? this is not normal in your age unless there is a family history of very early menopause. Or do you mean that 2 of your periods in the past 6 months were associated with pelvic pain ?This could be normal for some and could also be pathological. I am not a gynecologist but had my own gynecological problems concerning early/ premature menopause and read a lot about these issues.
