What is a physical discomfort/condition you, a woman, have believed you have to “live with” or accept but it's actually not normal and can be fixable ?

Mine was that about 2-3 years ago I couldn’t run anymore because of leakage, and I was going to have to buy like..poise and I’m in my early 40s and that seems like a long time to not enjoy life.
UTI symptoms (pain/urgency w/urination) that wouldn’t go away with meds. (For years.) Turns out I had a hypertonic pelvic floor and six sessions of PT truly changed my life. Stress causes it to flare up, but at least I know now what to do when it does.
Heavy periods until I was diagnosed with a bleeding disorder at 16, but only because I also had significant bruising. The heavy periods were not concerning on their own but were considered a symptom in the presence of other symptoms.
YUP. VWD is extremely under diagnosed and often is only diagnosed when women bleed out after childbirth and then later everyone is all "oh ackshually your 10 day periods aren't normal even though every doctor you've asked about it has said it was normal"
Not getting pain medication for an IUD insertion. If men had to have a tiny umbrella inserted into their penis and then opened up once inside, they'd be offered gen anaesthesia 🫠
