Oh well.... I have learned that I just need to speak up and be firm when dealing with my doctor, and not feel intimidated and shrink away from what I want/need. Whatevs.
The real truth of the matter is that almost EVERYTHING involved in the human body is hormonally governed. Part of why women TEND to be better at taking care of themselves - they are (generally) more attuned with their endocrine system than men.
