I am apart of the one in ten women who suffer from endometriosis. endometriosis is a chronic illness with an unknown cause but is suspected to have something to do with too much estrogen. while there is no known cure for endometriosis they do have some treatment options which can help subside symptoms and/or help for a short amount of time so far the treatment options are hormones and excision surgery.
WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS
A disorder in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside the uterus.
I will say that some people do find relief from common pain meds but I'm on 3 kinds of pain killers very strong (1000mg panadol, 500mg mefenamic acid and 100mg tramadol (3x daily for pain)) and as I'm writing this I'm on my last cycle of Noriday which is the 2nd last birth control I can go on before surgery and menopause tablets.
