Women say doctors have not been able to help treat problems.

"With regard to my rules, my [gynecologist] simply says that this is due to the stress that my body goes because of this disease, while all other health professionals do not care, because the periods are normal ( They do not put it in a context that I have not had periods for 10 years), "explained.
