I am not a medical professional...just became concerned when I read your
post. I simply want to encourage you to seek out another doctor if you
feel dismissed or roughly handled by the ones you currently see. Good
doctors are hard to find but are worth their weight in gold. If fear of
the rough doctor's handling is keeping you from having necessary exams
please find another rather than not getting the care you need.
Hope that you have made progress since consulting a urologist. Hang in
there!
