Doctors tend to attribute many things to female hormone issues. I know because I have also been through it. Starting as a teenager and all through my life to date. I was undiagnosed and went through hell. I am all sorted now, but I have had multiple hospitalizations and even surgeries I never needed.
I wish you recovery and love.
