I went to a urologist a few years ago for bladder prolapse/stress incontinence following the birth of my daughter.  For some reason, she wanted to discuss my BPD at length.  I go to the VA for my medical care, so all my doctors have access to all my medical records.

She eventually did the exam, concluded that I do indeed have those problems, and then told me I should wear pads.  I got the impression I shouldn't follow up because she wouldn't do anything for me.

This is only one example of this happening.  I had similar experiences with a gynecologist, dermatologist, and my GP.  I'm 37.  I had a lot of hope that I could have gotten this problem fixed.  It severely limits me in my daily activities.  I feel as though it's because I have BPD and doctors don't want to be bothered with me.

TBH, I'm not 100% sure I even have BPD.  I was diagnosed soon after my daughter was born, and I think what I was going through was actually postpartum depression; most of my symptoms have gone away or substantially subsided.

How do I get them to take me seriously?
