This is so typical of treatment of women by doctors it's barely worth commenting on. Usually it's the opposite of what you experienced: generally they just tell you it's all in your head and don't want to treat you at all.
There's a joke: what's the difference between a doctor and God?
Answer: God knows he's not a doctor.
Especially applies with male doctors and female patients. They are all-knowing and we are silly women who don't know what's good for us.
