Endometriosis

  1.) Shireen Hand, the creator of  Endometriosis: My Life with You , struggled with endometriosis from 12 years of age until her diagnosis at age 21.  2.)  In The Endo the World , Clarie Barker shares how her life has been altered since her 2014 endometriosis diagnosis. She also documents her experience with adenomyosis. 3.) endo black,   Lauren R. Kornegay was diagnosed with endometriosis at age 20 after a series of events led her to visit a gynecologist while attending college in Baltimore.  

  Something I’m asked a lot is does having Endometroisis put me at risk? And in todays blog post I want to talk about it.  Although ovarian cancer occurs at higher rates in women with endometriosis,  the overall lifetime risk is low to begin with . Some studies suggest that endometriosis increases that risk, but it's still relatively low. Endometriosis can cause uterine tissue to grow in the intestines in anywhere from  3 to 37 percent of women Trusted Source  with the condition. In rare cases, the tissue can cause bleeding and scarring that leads to  intestinal obstruction (blockage of the intestine). A small bowel obstruction can cause symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, and problems passing gas or stool. If left untreated, a bowel obstruction can cause pressure to build up, possibly resulting in a bowel perforation (a hole in the bowel). A blockage can also decrease blood supply to the intestines. Both can be fatal. Ectopic pregnancy An  ectopic ...

  Endometriosis is a hard condition to live with, but it doesn't have to be as hard as it is; with the right products (for each individual person, these products will be different), it can be made a lot more manageable. These are the products I use that I find to make my periods and endometriosis a lot more bearable to live with. 1.) tens machine: a tens machine, also called a  transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation machine, sends  mild electric currents through to some areas of the skin. I find this helpful because it distracts my brain from the pain I feel from my endo. 2.) period underwear: period underwear doesn't give you pad rash, and I find it fits more comfortably thought-out the day, making it easy to forget you are bleeding. 3.) bubble baths: not only are bubble baths relaxing, but the heat can really help to relieve pain. 4.) CBD oil: I find CBD oil not the greatest but it does help take the edge off my cramps enough that i can semi function on a low pai...

  Endometriosis is a lonely condition that can be made worse by people who are trying to be helpful but are saying some of the strangest things.  We know that they are just trying to be helpful but when we are in pain sometimes things people say just make us snap which really affects our relationships and while we try not to get upset it isn’t always easy so I thought I would make a list of 10 things not to say to an endometriosis suffer.  Just take some pain killers and get over it.  But you don’t look sick.  At least it’s not…. Have you tried hot water bottle/ibuprofen/yoga/keto? When will you start trying for children.  Didn’t surgery cure you? I get cramps too.  You’re too young to be sick Mind over matter just think positively.  My daughter, friend. etc has that and she's fine There are so many more but those are the ones that really get to me.  Let me know which you hate hearing the most in the comments. 

 Reusable period products can save you so much money if you are willing to give them a try.  I’m the sort of person who has to wear maternity pads every period because of how much I bleed but that leads to horrible pad rash for me so I decided to give reusable products a go and I don’t think I’ll ever go back.  Now I use period underwear and a mensual cup and I still have to use maternity pads on my heaviest day but the rest of my cycle I use my reusable products.  I’m have four pairs of period underwear from three different brands all of them say they are super flow (4 tampons worth) which isn’t the greatest. I have Teo from the same brand (mint brand) and wear them on my first and last day of my period. I use my u by Kotex period underwear on day two and my libra on day four. If I’m going out instead of tampons I’ll insert my period cup.  I know reusable products aren’t for everyone but I would spend so much money on pads to go through them super fast so I fin...

  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
