Would you ask for a second opinion when you discover a health problem?

I went to a doctor a month ago. She found out I have some problems and I need a biopsy. Now I am not sure if I should ask for a second opinion. She gave me a treatment that was ruining my digestive system even more. I couldn't eat because anything made me sick. I gave up on that treatment because it was killing me. I am already underweight. I am not sure if I should ask for a second opinion. My therapist told me to stay in a hospital while I take that treatment. But who would keep me in a hospital for 3 months?

YES, you should ask for a second opinion. This person gave you a wrong treatment, I would not trust her.

Unfortunately this type of pill has side effects. It is a hormonal pill. If I would ask a different treatment I would have the same problem. They all work in the same way.

@dya80dya This is true hormonal pills all have the same side effects.
