Oh my goodness, yes. I’ve traded chronic pain stories with women who have endometriosis and I am convinced that it would just be beyond my capacity to cope. Many women (I’m not sure how many because, of course, it’s not well studied) with endometriosis are ignored for years because it’s assumed that they are experiencing period pain and period pain doesn’t “count” for some reason. Gynecology sounds like torture.
