Girlypop viewer here: I was diagnosed with PCOS and Endometriosis earlier this year after being in excruciating pain for the last two years. I immediately had to have surgery to remove a cyst the size of a golf ball. It’s insanely easy to spiral because it affects so many portions of your life completely unrelated to menstrual health. Girlypops go to the gyno, it can save your life!!
QT is underselling how traumatic and overwhelming it can be to go through an expedited gyno visit and have a bunch of unfortunate health news at once Like, queen, genuinely, are you doing okay?
literally this.... like I know the guys were trying to make light of it but it felt more like they were brushing over it / really not understanding what this means for her... sadge😢
yeah the guy to her right kept interrupting her with his quite unfunny (idk what their boundaries are, so idk what's okay for them but to me some were also borderline creepy) remarks, too. like bruh stfu you don't even know what pcos is, don't try to be smart.
my parents had to sell their house because my father needed an ambulance three times last year. i also have a family member who passed away two years ago because they refused an ambulance after a heart attack, and the uber wasn’t fast enough.
I had a bump on my wrist and I dropped a weight on it and it disappeared that happened 2 years ago and I still haven't talked to a doctor about because I don't have the money or the insurance to pay for it
best part is that the moment she started talking about pu$$y problems, the guys interrupted her instead of letting her explain herself. Felt like a weird SNL skit, but it was real and hilarious
QT!!! get a second opinion about PCOS. it’s kind of crazy the gyno is operating off the assumption you have PCOS without doing a hormonal test to confirm. also crazy for the gyno to immediately try and medicate because the goal at first is to try and manage symptoms with diet, exercise etc
I thought the same thing, that gyno sounds like she just wanted to get her out of the office on medication ASAP. QT never reads the comments but it sounds like shes getting a second opinion from with bloodwork which is good
she mentioned that she is getting a 2nd one! it’s honestly always good advice. also for things like stray thicker chin hairs, she’s not alone at all. it happens to many many women starting in their mid-late 20’s and it can be totally normal or can be a sign/symptom of PCOS or a hormonal imbalance. obviously they’re the doctor, but to simply go straight to a lifelong medication feels worthy of multiple inputs.
I think if you can afford it / live in a country where it's an option at no extra cost, getting a second opinion is always essential whenever you see a doctor or dentist these days.
Also, endometrial lesions can be seen on scans, but you need a laparoscopic surgery to diagnose and verify the condition. I hope she has a better doctor next time!
She’s back. Qtc, former Mormon, ambassador to the nation of girlypop, queen of the swifties, mother of the coots swift and ders, liberator of hasthirst watchers, master baker, the Bonnie to Ludwig’s Clyde, and most importantly. Mother. SHES👏🏻 FUCKING👏🏻 BACK👏🏻
i was also traumatically told during one gyno appointment that i have endometriosis, vaginismus, and pcos (later found i don’t have pcos but have severe hyperinsulinemia from an ovarian tumor she didn’t tell me about??) all at once. it’s such a nauseating experience, my heart physically hurts for you. all of my hormonal conditions are managed now, but it took me going a more unconventional route to get the help i needed like seeing a dietician and going to pf therapy; i believe in you!! you’re not alone in this
I feel QT so much on this! To me, women's health is treated in such a convoluted way. I was diagnosed with PCOS around age 15 when I was missing my period for months. When I did get my period I would bleed for a MONTH straight. None of the doctors I've had have really done anything to help it other than prescribe me birth control. The diagnosis even led me to assume that pain attacks in my lower abdomen were just my ovaries and that I had cysts or something. Later I found out I was having regular appendicitis episodes for years which just led to my appendix exploding because I was brushing them off for so long.
that sounds awful! the fact that your experience isn’t even surprising anymore is such a sad thing. women’s health gets trivialized so often and there are so many women that get gaslit by their environment/society/doctors for years and years to just “power through” pain and other health concerns like they’re nothing.
What the fuck. That really sounds like something any gyno/doctor should be able to diagnose. Thank god you survived and I'm so sorry that happened to you
That doctor sucks. That's not how you share any of that information and I'm not even sure you can declare all of that without blood work. I'm sorry that happened, QT.
I'm pretty sure there's just guidelines and they can theoretically diagnose anything (in their field at least) and that it's actually not that uncommon that doctors are reluctant to do the appropriate tests unfortunately. Medical malpractice usually involves the patient getting harmed by the wrong treatment.
QT!!! I have PCOS and they tried to put me on weight loss meds that made me sick. If you can find a Dietician who specializes in PCOS that’s what helped me. She tested my hormones and helped me balance them with supplements and diet. Sooo many people have PCOS and it is manageable I promise! ❤
I took an ambulance once and it was everything. I had died with blood oxygen at 60 and had to be resuscitated, but once I snapped out of it the features were amazing. Turns out I had massive blood clots in my lungs but they were like chill queen and after a bloodletting while trying to insert an IV during a minefield of speed bumps I settled down. The two awake surgeries were lit because I had this sweet motherly nurse who was a fentanyl feeder. Anyway it was cute and three years later I'm still here listening to AustinShow's dramatic crap so.. Ws in the chat!
QT talking about her health was so real. I recently went to the gyno! It’s always good to get checked up! Girly pop nation get checked/ we stand in solidarity for Queen QT! ❤❤❤
Will really goes from buying QT a cute gift to cheer her up, checking to make sure she’s okay with sharing info, and concern to the craziest bits and that’s why I love him 😂
Qt I’m so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It’s never fun to get that kind of news! I also have endometriosis and pcos! My original gyno told me straight up that I should try to get pregnant to help with endo( insane I know). The next one I spoke with was almost a year later she immediately got me into surgery. It was a super quick day surgery and I was walking around at the mall the next day! The anesthesia is always scary but you got this girl! It sounds worse than it is I promise ❤️
"get pregnant" as medical advice for ameliorating endo symptoms is crazy irresponsible wtf. i hate that. i'm glad you got a better doctor to actually offer help later, and super happy your surgery went as well as it did
@@pugilismit was horrible, and many others have heard it too! It was 10years ago and I was literally 18! I suffered for a year in pain waiting for the new gyno too. She saved my life in so many ways! I’m very grateful she took my pain seriously. Not everyone is so lucky ❤
QT I’m sorry about the gyno visit. It’s already bad enough to not get anything to cover yourself. It’s insane how quick the gyno went to diagnose everything with you too. I hope everything works out ❤️
QT please know that you are NOT ALONE at all on the stray dark chin/facial hairs!! ❤ it happens to many many women starting in their mid-late 20’s and it can be totally normal too or can be a sign/symptom of PCOS or a hormonal imbalance which is why it’s good to get checked but there’s not a single reason to be embarrassed of it.
I knew the US had deplorable costs for everything when it comes to healthcare but I still was under the assumption that you don’t have to pay for ambulance because it’s that ridiculous that would have to lol (other than maybe 20/30 for fuel).
@Aithis. and you know how much EMTs get paid? Barely over minimum wage. So it's not going to the people doing the ambulance shit. They upcharge ridiculously so they can get insurance to pay out a smaller but still ridiculous amount, and it goes into the pockets of the CEOs or whoever. It's mostly privately run, and mostly by the same company who are horrible to their workers.
I relate to Austin. When I had the stomach flu I understood why ppl used to die from the most normal sicknesses way back in the day. Truly thought that was it for me.. I prob should have went to the hospital lol. I ended up losing like 10 lbs and my stomach has never been the same. Hope that doesn't happen to you Austin lol. I can't drink coffee anymore since then
Hey, can I suggest something? I've had a stomach flu as well and got admitted to hospital, got fixed in a few days and went home, but my stomach definitely felt weird and frail for a long time afterwards. What helped me is taking prebiotics for a month, eating ACTUALLY healthy food (like boiled chicken and grains, soups, veggies and porridge in the morning, etc.), obviously NOT eating fast food, fried, fatty stuff, sweets AT ALL. So, I did that for a few months, then I'd maybe eat something "bad" once in a while, then I broadened my diet a little and after 6 months or so my stomach went back to normal again. I still can't eat some foods like raw garlic or onion cause it makes it feel like gastritis or something, but it's generally great now. Really hope it can help you, because I remember the fucking awful feeling of it
@@homerpecan2462 hmm, that's a great suggestion actually. I don't have a terrible diet, but can certainly make improvements like you stated. I'll give it a try, can't hurt! Thanks
i recently was diagnosed with PCOS and it was scary bc I had no idea what it was but im so glad that I went to the gyno after missing my period for multiple months and now working on my hormonal imbalance with my doctor. If you’re a girlypop, please listen to your body and get checked up!!!
he also typed in the bonus comments two weeks ago that he forgot he needed to buy that for her but was reminded by the comments and then he somehow forgot AGAIN 🤣🤣
Hearing them ask QT why she's afraid of stuff always makes me sad, cause its like my friends with my OCD. We realize things are irrational but it doesn't mean the feelings and fear are not real
Austin!! I thought something looked “different” and then heard your hospital story. Glad you survived! I got pneumonia in 2021 and had to take an ambulance to the hospital and got the first class treatment. Didn’t have to lift a finger. 8/10
I also have PCOS and getting that diagnosis was both so relieving and so devastating for me. Putting a name to what I've been struggling with for years was cathartic but simultaneously realizing that all the medical nightmares I've been through could have been addressed if just one doctor had thought of it was upsetting. Only when I brought it up to my gyno after years of endocrinology appointments, blood tests, and MRIs did I finally get an answer. I think it perfectly summarizes the big issue here -- the issue that means that there is no medication that directly addresses PCOS and no current cure: misogyny. It's very real and it's very alienating. We're with you QT
Super nice to hear QT talk about her issues with hormonal imbalance. Just got diagnosed w/ PCOS myself and I empathize with how difficult it can be to get so much info at once. You got it girlie, you just have to keep pushing with stuff like this
Someone I know died recently and the vast majority of her friends found out when her ex employer posted about it on Twitter. I found out from a news article. “Who would tell us” Is actually such a valid question imo
QT!! i also have PCOS and it was also a scary time and so much info at once. what i found beneficial is having a gyno that can make you feel comfortable AND can meet you in the middle with your accommodations. i was essentially forced onto birth control which messed me up physically and mentally, but after stopping it on my own and speaking with my gyno about it, they were more than happy to know i was happy and pleased without it as i saw no benefits to the pill. so keep pushing for what you feel is right and take care!! we got this :) Also ps: as someone who was once afraid of anesthesia and saw it as something that's way worse than surgery and recovery, i can gladly say i had a pleasant experience my first time and not afraid for future procedures if needed! it's all about trust in your doctors as well as them seeing you and meeting you to your comfy levels 👍🏼
QT you are doing a phenomenal job. what you do for the streaming community does NOT go unrecognized by those who are fans of streaming. ik streamer awards are a v stressful time for you, QT. we as fan and i’m sure most, if not all, streamers appreciate what you do. we are proud of you and so thankful. this year has been a MONUMENTAL year for streaming, a lot of ppl outside of the community are tuning in. they expect award shows to be like these giant legacy award show while neglecting to realize Streamer Awards are your beautiful baby. don’t be too hard on yourself. it will all work out. you are a phenomenal organizer and have a stellar team behind you.
QT… THANK YOU SO MUCH! You telling your story and being brutally honest about the insanity that is women’s health was amazing. I am so sorry you are going through this tho… I have similar issues and it fucking sucks. I hope that you can get relief asap ❤
American who now lives in South Korea. It's insane that I now live in a country where people go to the doctor all the time if they are sick. I had to break the habit of just waiting stuff out, and my coworkers used to raise their eyebrows when I was sick and I would just be suffering for a week.
as a medical intern, that's awful medical practice, qt wasnt heard or acknowledged, her concerns should have been managed way better (in an individualized manner)
two gyno comments in a row for me but fun fact that's not fun and nobody cares about, the spreader thingy (retractor) is literally called a spreader in italian, very refined language, so i had to look the english word up and it's not the same as a speculum! i'm here for girlypop nation except i'm shitting bricks (Austincore) about having to come out to my gyno as trans in a while
I got scared when I saw the thumbnail, then I read the title and clicked the video, my queen qt is here❤( for a halfday). Now I trust Marche or Gabe or whosoever is editing 😅
omg qt, sending you sm love. first of all like feeling anxious about life and then getting this bombardment of news is so crazy. dude, i hope some relief comes soon bc WTF. sending you a lot love qt, youre a total powerhouse
My girlfriend has PCOS, thanks for sharing your experience QT. Having another perspective helps give me insight into struggles I can't comprehend, I really appreciate your openness. Hope you're doing well :)
I've been diagnosed with PCOS for 5 years and they won't give me any help. I have facial hair growth, I am overweight and have diabetes in my family and have been proven to not be able to loose weight no matter how hard I work out and well I eat for MONTHS. So as rough as it is, I'm happy they figured it all out and helped you on the same day as they noticed it
Man QT is so relatable. I have so many similar issues. And I also am terrified of anesthesia and birth (but not planes haha). I’m so glad she talks about it openly
this is making me realise i need to go to the gyno and get checked out bc i’ve just been ignoring my symptoms for so long i’ve forgotten they’re not supposed to be there
I'm also afraid of anesthesia but it's because I found out sometimes people just don't wake back up & now I've convinced myself I specifically will be one of those people BECAUSE I'm worried about it. Like Irony has nothing better to do with her day lol
As an EMT i gotta state that NO you do not go right in to a bed at the hospital for riding in an ambulance. you get triaged and Austin you must have been in a state that looked dire for them to get you right in. A big misconception is that you will get through the hospital faster with an ambulance ride.
Can you help me understand how a stomach flu can land you in a hospital? Maybe he had one of the most severe cases? I’m from Germany I haven’t heard of someone (small sample size) going to the hospital for puking and sh*ting.
@@Glenhh just puking and shitting is when you get poisoning. Stomach flu is worse than that. You feel severe pain in your abdomen, all fluid you consume goes to your stomach and immediately flushes out of your body lol, so you are dehydrated af, and your body temperature becomes 38-39 which is obviously bad as well
@@Glenhh Just puking and sh*ting is when you get poisoning. Stomach flu is worse then that. You feel severe pain in your abdomen. All fluid you consume goes to your stomach and immediately gets flushed out of your body, so you're dehydrated af. And your body temperature becomes 38-39 which is obviously bad as well
@@Glenhh That's just poisoning. Stomach flu is when you feel severe abdomen pain, all liquid you consume goes to your stomach and immediately gets flushed out of your body, so you're very dehydrated. And your body temp goes up to 38-39° which is also very bad obviously P.S. it's an infection, not food poisoning
So late to comment this, but in regards to the ambulance conversation. As a Paramedic in the US, as long as you are in your right state of mind, you are able to refuse our services. So Austin could have refused to go by ambulance. However, it sounds like he really did need one with getting several bags of fluid and having a blood pressure that was still soft. Also, the misunderstanding of getting a room faster if you go by ambulance is quite detrimental to EMS. For one, it's not necessarily true if you go by ambulance for let's say a sprained wrist. If you are vitally stable and not critical and there are people in the waiting room who are more critical, they will get the room before you. Ambulance crews have and will put you in the waiting room after being triaged per the charge nurses decision. The reason Austin got in the back "faster" was because he was showing signs of needing a room more immediately than those in the waiting room. Just a PSA
was fully expecting the title to be clickbait but i am so glad qt was in this episode and i am sending her lots of love regarding her girlypop health bc that shit is so scary
I have got diagnosed with PCOS last year after years of having symptoms and am dealing with an ovarian cyst as well. I have seen multiple doctors due to all of them having such different outlooks on it, but currently seeing a primary who has it as well. Best thing that I have done is changed my diet and started exercising more, and researching PCOS. I have had setbacks but all is not lost!
Girlypop nation viewer here, I also recently got diagnosed with PCOS. It started with my period being completely wonky after having my second child and never going back to normal. I mean like my period disappearing for a month, or being late, just all over the place. Getting heat flashes, gaining weight, and then just pain by my uterus like if i was on my period. I was coping so hard thinking it was just part of postpartum, since Ive never had these symptoms before even after having my first kid. I'm glad I went to the gyno and they gave me answers.
QT! I’m sorry sorry you had that experience with the gynecologist! That sounds unbelievably overwhelming and traumatic. But please get a second opinion before doing getting any surgery done. It’s a bit odd to me how quick the gynecologist diagnosed you with running other tests. Girlypop nation is here for you and i hope you are able to the the good quality healthcare you deserve!
Will is so real for telling that super glue story. I have seen so many injuries that should’ve had a doctor look at them get fixed with duct tape and glue more times than I can count. Got a love America.
I’m not a doctor, but imo the gyno didn’t do enough tests to diagnose QT with PCOS and prescribing all these meds is CRAZY. Our goal is to live life without meds. Like change your diet and exercise… not take meds for the rest of your life especially at such a young age.
For my doctor to diagnose me PCOS, she had to get me tested for every hormone under the sun, it sounded really weird that your gyno with only one talk got your diagnosis
QT I went through several very similar health and hormone issues and a naturopath was the best option I had that could have helped me with it all if you can find one. Mine got me a DUTCH test ($500 in canada)which reads your hormones over a 24 hour period and was super informative for what exactly needed fixing. Then I was put on a supplement for suppressing testosterone cause I had too much too and I had like no progesterone so she prescribed a low dosage and at the very beginning I was also on a supplement for estrogen support too. I'm also not meant to take this forever as my naturopath says my hormones will self regulate eventually. I've been doing everything my naturopath tells me and I went from the most irregular and painful periods to the lightest cramps I've ever experienced. And if yours is PCOS this will still give you a confirmed answer on where your hormones are at this point, and can only help with getting treatment.
One time I was trimming the trees in my backyard and I hung the shears on a branch next to me while I used my bare, ungloved hands to clear some dead branches. I saw something falling and my reflexes got the best of me. Poured a bunch of alcohol and taped that bad boy shut. I still have a weird lump but I didn’t even have to interact with anyone :)

And if your doctor is reluctant to check, or to give you an xray, tell them to notate that they refused.

QT I’m so happy you we’re finally properly diagnosed. PCOS sucks but you got this 💜
Former EMT here - the ambulance ride itself may only be that much, but every single thing they do adds hundreds.
I knew the US had deplorable costs for everything when it comes to healthcare but I still was under the assumption that you don’t have to pay for ambulance because it’s that ridiculous that would have to lol (other than maybe 20/30 for fuel).
@Aithis. and you know how much EMTs get paid? Barely over minimum wage. So it's not going to the people doing the ambulance shit. They upcharge ridiculously so they can get insurance to pay out a smaller but still ridiculous amount, and it goes into the pockets of the CEOs or whoever. It's mostly privately run, and mostly by the same company who are horrible to their workers.
I relate to Austin. When I had the stomach flu I understood why ppl used to die from the most normal sicknesses way back in the day. Truly thought that was it for me.. I prob should have went to the hospital lol. I ended up losing like 10 lbs and my stomach has never been the same. Hope that doesn't happen to you Austin lol. I can't drink coffee anymore since then
Wow 😰 glad you're ok now
Hey, can I suggest something? I've had a stomach flu as well and got admitted to hospital, got fixed in a few days and went home, but my stomach definitely felt weird and frail for a long time afterwards. What helped me is taking prebiotics for a month, eating ACTUALLY healthy food (like boiled chicken and grains, soups, veggies and porridge in the morning, etc.), obviously NOT eating fast food, fried, fatty stuff, sweets AT ALL. So, I did that for a few months, then I'd maybe eat something "bad" once in a while, then I broadened my diet a little and after 6 months or so my stomach went back to normal again. I still can't eat some foods like raw garlic or onion cause it makes it feel like gastritis or something, but it's generally great now. Really hope it can help you, because I remember the fucking awful feeling of it
@@homerpecan2462 hmm, that's a great suggestion actually. I don't have a terrible diet, but can certainly make improvements like you stated. I'll give it a try, can't hurt! Thanks
i recently was diagnosed with PCOS and it was scary bc I had no idea what it was but im so glad that I went to the gyno after missing my period for multiple months and now working on my hormonal imbalance with my doctor. If you’re a girlypop, please listen to your body and get checked up!!!
Austin forgetting about the underwear party is so on brand for both him and QT
he also typed in the bonus comments two weeks ago that he forgot he needed to buy that for her but was reminded by the comments and then he somehow forgot AGAIN 🤣🤣
Hearing them ask QT why she's afraid of stuff always makes me sad, cause its like my friends with my OCD. We realize things are irrational but it doesn't mean the feelings and fear are not real
Austin!! I thought something looked “different” and then heard your hospital story. Glad you survived! I got pneumonia in 2021 and had to take an ambulance to the hospital and got the first class treatment. Didn’t have to lift a finger. 8/10
As a paramedic please don’t call an ambulance thinking you’re gonna seen quicker. All depends on ur triage nurse. Glad ur feeling better Austin!
I also have PCOS and getting that diagnosis was both so relieving and so devastating for me. Putting a name to what I've been struggling with for years was cathartic but simultaneously realizing that all the medical nightmares I've been through could have been addressed if just one doctor had thought of it was upsetting. Only when I brought it up to my gyno after years of endocrinology appointments, blood tests, and MRIs did I finally get an answer. I think it perfectly summarizes the big issue here -- the issue that means that there is no medication that directly addresses PCOS and no current cure: misogyny. It's very real and it's very alienating. We're with you QT
Super nice to hear QT talk about her issues with hormonal imbalance. Just got diagnosed w/ PCOS myself and I empathize with how difficult it can be to get so much info at once. You got it girlie, you just have to keep pushing with stuff like this
Our queens areeeee back
Someone I know died recently and the vast majority of her friends found out when her ex employer posted about it on Twitter. I found out from a news article. “Who would tell us” Is actually such a valid question imo
imagine Dan Clancy arranging a zoom meeting to break the news to them
wait actually he would probably use the guest feature while they're all streaming
Qt is on finally
QT!! i also have PCOS and it was also a scary time and so much info at once. what i found beneficial is having a gyno that can make you feel comfortable AND can meet you in the middle with your accommodations. i was essentially forced onto birth control which messed me up physically and mentally, but after stopping it on my own and speaking with my gyno about it, they were more than happy to know i was happy and pleased without it as i saw no benefits to the pill. so keep pushing for what you feel is right and take care!! we got this :)
Also ps: as someone who was once afraid of anesthesia and saw it as something that's way worse than surgery and recovery, i can gladly say i had a pleasant experience my first time and not afraid for future procedures if needed! it's all about trust in your doctors as well as them seeing you and meeting you to your comfy levels 👍🏼
QT you are doing a phenomenal job. what you do for the streaming community does NOT go unrecognized by those who are fans of streaming.
ik streamer awards are a v stressful time for you, QT. we as fan and i’m sure most, if not all, streamers appreciate what you do. we are proud of you and so thankful.
this year has been a MONUMENTAL year for streaming, a lot of ppl outside of the community are tuning in. they expect award shows to be like these giant legacy award show while neglecting to realize Streamer Awards are your beautiful baby. don’t be too hard on yourself. it will all work out. you are a phenomenal organizer and have a stellar team behind you.
I like that being blue helped people recognize briefly that racism actually does stop people from getting a job.
27:24 “these snake oil salesmen like to hawk to, uh, their audience” - hasan piker 2024
I hate you for making me notice it
I was about to comment this damnit LMAO
This aged like fine wine
Marche! come back and save us from this camera angle please 😭😭
That's my bad guys, will be fixed next week. Will make a fan cam of hasan as penance
@@gabejruiz oh no no you did a great job! my only complaint was the camera angle & I honestly thought it was Kaya's fault 😂
@@gabejruizyou did great Gabe and I speak for all loyal viewers that we’re glad to have you in Marche’s absence!!
50:51 Austin slowly realizing John Krasinski is might actually be the sexiest man alive is killing meee
They way I hovered over the video to make sure the title wasn't click bait first.
QT… THANK YOU SO MUCH! You telling your story and being brutally honest about the insanity that is women’s health was amazing. I am so sorry you are going through this tho… I have similar issues and it fucking sucks. I hope that you can get relief asap ❤
thought the title was gaslighting me im so glad the original hosts qt and austin are back !!
QT!
You are the reason we watch.
Don't kill yourself please 😁💖💖💖
austin: "i woke up on my 31st birthday"
qt: "sad"
Will asking for the editor cut while nothing happens LMAO
Omg! I have Plantar fasciitis AND PCOS.. I'm soooooo seen...
Typical Fear& pandering to my little teddy bear.
American who now lives in South Korea. It's insane that I now live in a country where people go to the doctor all the time if they are sick. I had to break the habit of just waiting stuff out, and my coworkers used to raise their eyebrows when I was sick and I would just be suffering for a week.
Thanks for talking about it QT, you've made me book my screening after putting it off for 3 years
as a medical intern, that's awful medical practice, qt wasnt heard or acknowledged, her concerns should have been managed way better (in an individualized manner)
two gyno comments in a row for me but fun fact that's not fun and nobody cares about, the spreader thingy (retractor) is literally called a spreader in italian, very refined language, so i had to look the english word up and it's not the same as a speculum! i'm here for girlypop nation except i'm shitting bricks (Austincore) about having to come out to my gyno as trans in a while
good luck!!
@pugilism aw thank you!
I got scared when I saw the thumbnail, then I read the title and clicked the video, my queen qt is here❤( for a halfday). Now I trust Marche or Gabe or whosoever is editing 😅
omg qt, sending you sm love. first of all like feeling anxious about life and then getting this bombardment of news is so crazy. dude, i hope some relief comes soon bc WTF. sending you a lot love qt, youre a total powerhouse
It really sounds like QTs doctor is literally just trying to extract as much money out of her as possible
23:47 QT I am sorry to hear. 💔
My girlfriend has PCOS, thanks for sharing your experience QT. Having another perspective helps give me insight into struggles I can't comprehend, I really appreciate your openness. Hope you're doing well :)
i never comment on videos ever but i had to comment that Will looks AMAZING this episode!! 😍 this hair length and mustache combo on him is chef’s kiss
LMAO THE TITLE. so real.
I've been diagnosed with PCOS for 5 years and they won't give me any help. I have facial hair growth, I am overweight and have diabetes in my family and have been proven to not be able to loose weight no matter how hard I work out and well I eat for MONTHS. So as rough as it is, I'm happy they figured it all out and helped you on the same day as they noticed it
Man QT is so relatable. I have so many similar issues. And I also am terrified of anesthesia and birth (but not planes haha). I’m so glad she talks about it openly
this is making me realise i need to go to the gyno and get checked out bc i’ve just been ignoring my symptoms for so long i’ve forgotten they’re not supposed to be there
our patreon donations 😎 have a blast Marche, you deserve it!
Great Episode. Thank you Qt for being vulnerable and talking about something so many women have to deal with
austin going "ehhh" when they called the blue man good looking at 28:38 had me crYING???
"I've got no eggs" into an ad broke my heart
I'm also afraid of anesthesia but it's because I found out sometimes people just don't wake back up & now I've convinced myself I specifically will be one of those people BECAUSE I'm worried about it. Like Irony has nothing better to do with her day lol
Wills home makeover in Japan idea is actually top tier content
As an EMT i gotta state that NO you do not go right in to a bed at the hospital for riding in an ambulance. you get triaged and Austin you must have been in a state that looked dire for them to get you right in. A big misconception is that you will get through the hospital faster with an ambulance ride.
Can you help me understand how a stomach flu can land you in a hospital?
Maybe he had one of the most severe cases?
I’m from Germany I haven’t heard of someone (small sample size) going to the hospital for puking and sh*ting.
You lost a lot of fluid and that could lead to severe dehydration. And it will be worse if you have fever.
@@Glenhh just puking and shitting is when you get poisoning. Stomach flu is worse than that. You feel severe pain in your abdomen, all fluid you consume goes to your stomach and immediately flushes out of your body lol, so you are dehydrated af, and your body temperature becomes 38-39 which is obviously bad as well
@@Glenhh Just puking and sh*ting is when you get poisoning. Stomach flu is worse then that. You feel severe pain in your abdomen. All fluid you consume goes to your stomach and immediately gets flushed out of your body, so you're dehydrated af. And your body temperature becomes 38-39 which is obviously bad as well
@@Glenhh That's just poisoning. Stomach flu is when you feel severe abdomen pain, all liquid you consume goes to your stomach and immediately gets flushed out of your body, so you're very dehydrated. And your body temp goes up to 38-39° which is also very bad obviously P.S. it's an infection, not food poisoning
i hope she talks with poki about the gyno stuff, its good to have someone in your circle that understands the struggle
looking forward to austin’s itemized hospital bill next week.
So late to comment this, but in regards to the ambulance conversation. As a Paramedic in the US, as long as you are in your right state of mind, you are able to refuse our services. So Austin could have refused to go by ambulance. However, it sounds like he really did need one with getting several bags of fluid and having a blood pressure that was still soft. Also, the misunderstanding of getting a room faster if you go by ambulance is quite detrimental to EMS. For one, it's not necessarily true if you go by ambulance for let's say a sprained wrist. If you are vitally stable and not critical and there are people in the waiting room who are more critical, they will get the room before you. Ambulance crews have and will put you in the waiting room after being triaged per the charge nurses decision. The reason Austin got in the back "faster" was because he was showing signs of needing a room more immediately than those in the waiting room. Just a PSA
the gang’s back together, you know it’s gonna be a good one
was fully expecting the title to be clickbait but i am so glad qt was in this episode and i am sending her lots of love regarding her girlypop health bc that shit is so scary
QT makes the pod. Austin boosts QT. But then there's those 2 straight white men.
I have got diagnosed with PCOS last year after years of having symptoms and am dealing with an ovarian cyst as well. I have seen multiple doctors due to all of them having such different outlooks on it, but currently seeing a primary who has it as well. Best thing that I have done is changed my diet and started exercising more, and researching PCOS. I have had setbacks but all is not lost!
Austin scared he wasnt in the gc killed me!
Girlypop nation viewer here, I also recently got diagnosed with PCOS. It started with my period being completely wonky after having my second child and never going back to normal. I mean like my period disappearing for a month, or being late, just all over the place. Getting heat flashes, gaining weight, and then just pain by my uterus like if i was on my period. I was coping so hard thinking it was just part of postpartum, since Ive never had these symptoms before even after having my first kid. I'm glad I went to the gyno and they gave me answers.
18:05 insane way to question that LMAO
austin looks so unbelievably good this episode my god
Marche knows the target audience fr because I wouldn't have clicked on this one if I hadn't known qt was in it
GUYYSSS you didnt let QT finish her story! So glad theres a second opinion doctor that she continued to tell in wine about it
QT! I’m sorry sorry you had that experience with the gynecologist! That sounds unbelievably overwhelming and traumatic. But please get a second opinion before doing getting any surgery done. It’s a bit odd to me how quick the gynecologist diagnosed you with running other tests. Girlypop nation is here for you and i hope you are able to the the good quality healthcare you deserve!
Will is so real for telling that super glue story. I have seen so many injuries that should’ve had a doctor look at them get fixed with duct tape and glue more times than I can count. Got a love America.
The blue man story is so funny cuz he now understand racism because he turned his skin fucking blue
Us people of color gotta stick together
THE GANG IS BACK
I’m not a doctor, but imo the gyno didn’t do enough tests to diagnose QT with PCOS and prescribing all these meds is CRAZY. Our goal is to live life without meds. Like change your diet and exercise… not take meds for the rest of your life especially at such a young age.
That ambulance/hospital pic of Austin is literally Baker Mayfield and you can’t convince me otherwise.
For my doctor to diagnose me PCOS, she had to get me tested for every hormone under the sun, it sounded really weird that your gyno with only one talk got your diagnosis
QT I went through several very similar health and hormone issues and a naturopath was the best option I had that could have helped me with it all if you can find one.
Mine got me a DUTCH test ($500 in canada)which reads your hormones over a 24 hour period and was super informative for what exactly needed fixing. Then I was put on a supplement for suppressing testosterone cause I had too much too and I had like no progesterone so she prescribed a low dosage and at the very beginning I was also on a supplement for estrogen support too.
I'm also not meant to take this forever as my naturopath says my hormones will self regulate eventually.
I've been doing everything my naturopath tells me and I went from the most irregular and painful periods to the lightest cramps I've ever experienced.
And if yours is PCOS this will still give you a confirmed answer on where your hormones are at this point, and can only help with getting treatment.
omg I just got diagnosed with PCOS last week too lets gooo PCOS girlies she also diagnosed me with endometriosis
One time I was trimming the trees in my backyard and I hung the shears on a branch next to me while I used my bare, ungloved hands to clear some dead branches. I saw something falling and my reflexes got the best of me. Poured a bunch of alcohol and taped that bad boy shut. I still have a weird lump but I didn’t even have to interact with anyone :)
