  There is a lot of unknown information about endometriosis and a lot is known but not commonly shared which is what I am going to do today.  1.)  Inguinal endometriosis  is a rare condition, accounting for 0.3%–0.6% of patients affected by endometriosis, with fewer than 60 cases reported in the literature. inguinal Endometroisis   usually presents as painful/tender inguinal mass and is most often mistaken for incarcerated hernia and other inguinal lesions 2.) Endometrisis can spread to the lungs and brain 3.) endometrisis has been found in males but  Only a few cases of endometriosis in me n have been reported in the literature 4.) endometrisis has been found in infants 5.) Women in the deep endometriosis group had a statistically significant excess of blue eyes and a reduced proportion of brown eyes

Today we will be talking about t he differences between ablation and  laparoscopic . Pros and cons of both First let’s look at Endometriosis  ablation.  ablation Is when they is a procedure that surgically destroys (ablates) the lining of your uterus (endometrium). The goal of endometrial ablation is to reduce menstrual flow. In some women, menstrual flow may stop completely. No incisions are needed for endometrial ablation. Your doctor inserts slender tools through the passageway between your vagina and uterus (cervix).   Pros Periods should lighten or stop completely within a few months. Uterus and other pelvic organs remain intact. Minimally invasive, no incisions  Often results in improved quality of life for most women Cons Not recommended if you still want to have children Pregnancy after ablation, while rare, carries risk of miscarriage and complications. Bleeding may still occur after ablation, a hysterectomy may be needed in the future. The procedure ca...

 Parenting is a 24/7 job, especially when you are a stay at home parent. Through sickness and health you have to be their for them and that includes when you are in pain.  My daughter is almost a year old and I now have a lot of experience of parenting through pain, I will admit I was nervous at first but since then I have learned ways to manage and still be the best mother possible.  When I feel my pain increase to a dangerous level  indicating that I might not be able to walk the next day I prepare my daughter‘s food and everything she’ll need for the day and put it on the end of my bed so that if I can’t walk I can still care for her the best way I can.  Because pain killers don’t work for me if I just have cramps I will curl up on the couch and turn on the television for her and let her roam the house only getting up if she needs me or wants me.  I am partially lucky because being around kids knowing I have to look after them puts a mental block on the ...

  Because not a lot is known about Endometriosis there is a lot of misconceptions out there about this terrible condition and I will be covering five of them today and debunking them.  One: everyone has painful periods This one really annoys me because periods are meant to be uncomfortable but not painful, if you have painful periods there is something underlying causing the pain like Endometriosis but it doesn’t always have to be Endometriosis.  Two: The symptoms is just heavy bleeding and pain Again this one really annoys me because there is a lot more to Endometriosis than just heavy bleeding and pain which definitely are common symptoms but it can cause so many more issues for woman and some woman might not even have any symptoms at all.  Three: Endometriosis only affects the pelvic region  Now the most common place for Endometriosis is the pelvic region but this horrible condition spreads like fire all around the body and has even been found in the lungs an...

1:  How common is Endometriosis? Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, but because of the misinformation and misdiagnosis, the actual number is unknown.  2: What is Endometriosis  Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue that usually lines the uterus grows outside the uterus. 3: Is Endometriosis a type of cancer? No Endometriosis isn’t a type of cancer, nor can Endometriosis alone kill you.  4: What medications are used to treat Endometriosis? Pain relief, birth control and gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists. Hormonal medications help slow the growth of the endometrial tissue and may keep new adhesions from forming. These drugs typically do not get rid of endometriosis tissue that is already there. 5: Is endometriosis a sexually transmitted disease or infectious? No. Endometriosis cannot be transferred from one human being to another. The cause of endometriosis is not yet known, but it is not an infectious disease.  6: How is endometriosis diagnos...

  Intercourse is something most people don’t expect to be painful after the first time, but for some people with Endometriosis or not but there are ways to help make sex less painful it’s just about finding what works for you.  The first thing is don’t try and have sex if you are already in pain because it will only make it worse; try and have sex on days with little to no discomfort so that it makes it easier to cope.  Lube is your best friend; use it a lot. Water-based is one of the best kinds.  Take it slowly and take breaks if you need to, don’t try and rush yourself into it.  Make sure to empty your bladder before and after sex and maybe even have a warm shower to relax your muscles before you get down to business.  You could try painkillers before sex or an ice pack after sex to help with any pain at the site.  If all else fails, you can buy Dilater to help slowly stretch you out to make it less painful.  If you suffer pain in your uterus af...
