Women's Health::

Women's Health::

I happen to suffer from endometrial tumors, endometriosis, pelvic inflammation, uterine inflammation, and a host of some other stuff which causes me to be in a lot of pain -- sadly, most of the time.

My case is not common. Most women if treated early enough [I wasn't] can overcome and lead very normal lives with all the ailments I mentioned above [well, maybe not the pelvic inflammation part -- that sucker hurts]...but the point is that - yes, if treated early AND if you are ritualistic about your OBGYN visits; you can avert and heal from various Ute reran problems.

I post this because more often than not, doctors often dismiss women who claim to experience heavy cramping. The first thing doctors try to do is to give you a birth control pill...while that may help in alleviating some of the horrendous pain [which often lands you in the emergency room] an endometriosis patient can experience; it doesn't guarantee healing. Also, what happens if you want to have a family?

There are other procedures doctors can perform...like laparoscopy...but regrettably, endometriosis tends to come back.

There is hope though girls. There is life after tumors/fibroids/pelvic inflammation/ uterine inflammation, etc…..You just have to make sure you are always keeping up with your visits, asking questions, changing doctors if you feel you are not being tended too, and research, research, research!

Had I done even half of these things when I was younger, my life would be...well, pain free….well, I think….life is funny that way….if it’s not one thing, it’s another…but that’s okay. Good fighters get that way by being in good fights :)
