American women have the same issue, I’ve heard of some getting a man to join them on their visits so that their issues are actually listened to. The need for this action is so stupid it hurts the brain. I’ve given up on doctors myself, except if they need to cut something out or stitch/cast something. If they can’t see it, they don’t believe you especially if you have a high pain tolerance
Everyone should always bring someone with them to medical appointments. Here in Ontario (and I suspect most places) patients have a right to bring someone with them to all medical appointments. The quality of care received is in general much higher when the doctor does not feel like they are alone and unobserved with the patient.

I’ve gone with a friend so she could do her appointment, many years ago
