Endometriosis

Endo what? When I started this blog I knew I wanted to write some topics on this issue. Here's my first one on many more to come. When I first heard of Endometriosis was when I was diagnosed. I had laprascoptic surgery and both my tubes were blocked with endometrium. Many of you might not know what this illness is.So here is some awareness on it.

What is Endometriosis?

Its a growth that happens unexpectadley it can attack the uterus, fallopian tubes and in some extreme cases it can cause fertility issues.

What are the symptoms?

Extreme bloating, fatuigue, low iron, heavy bleeding, cramps that feel like your uterus is trying to kill you, back pain, intestinal issues, headaches these symptoms usually happen during ovulation or menstral cycle.

If you exprience anything like this here's how to get some help.

How to get help or advice ?

Talk to your GP or Gyno next time you see them. They can set up an ultrasound to begin. Later on if you need a clearer picture you can have laprascopy surgery the doctor is able to get an inside view and even try and burn off any endometrium they can see. Since both my ovaries were blocked he managed to flush out the left one, but the right one didnt budge. It's almost like the endometriosis wants to become cement.

I ended up taking hormone pills this summer to help clean up the endo with the medication. They were horrible, they made me moody and I gained so much weight. They did help with the Endo but only for a short period of time as it grows back. Currently there is no cure for Endometriosis so I would love to hear what types of techniques helped for you.
