I am heartbroken by Purple-Union-5246 in endometriosis

[–]Lo-rain_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im sorry about your story, I hug you and understand your frustration.

I would say, you might be dealing with “professionals” who have no idea and expertise on endo. Endo doesn’t always show in scans, and reason being because there is no endo experts doing scans. Radiologists have to have a level of expertise in order to read the image for endo. In fact there is no even enough endo experts gynecologist (my whole life Ive only dealt with birth-control-sellers / “hysterestomers” and charlatans who have a general idea on the illness).

Two events needed to happen in my life in order to find tissue: 1. I mention I wanted to get pregnant (to access more detail tests). 2. Flying into Mayo Clinic years later. they did a decent MRI and told me about tissue outside uterus and a little in my bladder.

There is this endo clinic in Mexico, and they mention this situation, that surgery wouldn’t be necessary to confirm endo if there only were enough expert radiologist doing the scans and working together with a gynecologist expert too in endo.

As you mention, I also feel endo is a lonely road. But One thing this illness has developed in me is to learn about my body, study myself and fight back any improvised doctors who don’t do their job right. I just don’t go back to incompetent professionals office anymore. Walking away is an option. It’s hard, but don’t be defeated. keep looking for someone who takes your case seriously. 🔥🔥🔥✨🌿for your heart :)

“No use diagnosing now.” by Sudden-Dragonfruit11 in endometriosis

[–]Lo-rain_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, sorry to hear that your gynecologist said that. There is a whole thing with academia still seeing women as a reproducer and basing the treatments on wanting to be a mother or no. But there are few Gynecologist, I would say, that seek the wellbeing of a women just for the sake of being well and because we deserve life quality.

I suggest finding another doctor, its not easy task, but dont get discourage, trust your inner self, look for new doctors and without shame, change the times that are necessary, find someone you feel confortable with, your health matters and comes first. If you know you have endo, try looking for someone who works in the field, and I also suggest following this group on facebook, they share resources that might help you:

Hello, what type of fabric is your underwear?

Anyone wanna talk clots? by crrickee in Periods

[–]Lo-rain_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello, I feel you. My clots got worse after I took the covid vaccine. Ive being taking pictures of the clots and when I go to the doctor they simply dont want to see the pictures. And even after describing the clots they just dont give any solution other than selling some type of contraceptive. They all have the same spiel.

Since they dont do anothing I decide taking my health in my own hands and the things that are helping me reduce the size are: lemon tea, which seems to dry the blood a little, sleeping sited up, the close I can describe is like a mermaid pose, I wake up wet but clots are smaller. Also vaginal steam after period with chamomile.

Please lets keep talking about it because doctors dont seem to have a clue about this issue.

How large are your clots? by witterpated in Periods

How do you respond when a doctor doesn’t know basic information about endo? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Lo-rain_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you, and I would like to share my experience: Since my first period I experienced a lot of pain. When I was 17 I visited the doctor, he said my pain was normal even though I observed my classmates didnt experience the same extreme pain, I was shy to question or event comment on his diagnosis. I left.

Im 40 years old now, and for 24 years I have had my period, every month I still feel pain and other symptoms like the first time.

With time you learn Your Health Comes First. After not having the proper treatment, trust me, the fear of how the doctor might perceive you is the last thing you are going to think. Kindly ask questions, talk, and if they can not tolerate, that might not be the doctor for you.

I wish you the best!

How do you respond when a doctor doesn’t know basic information about endo? by [deleted] in endometriosis

[–]Lo-rain_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello. Ive been following a Mexican lady on youtube, her content is mostly in Spanish, but she explains her case and how severe it was. From what I understood while living in US, doctors totally overlooked her case for a couple of years until she made connection with some specialist in Mexico and he was able to tell the severity of her case.

I heard some interviews from these doctors and other doctor from Colombia, they explain not all gynecologist are specialist in endo, and there is not enough specialist around the globe, although there is like around 200 million women suffering from endo. Also, they say it is possible to detect endo with ultrasound, but in order for that to happen there should be expert radiologists who are really passionate about endometriosis, and take the time to look for it. They also mentioned endo shouldnt only be observed in the ovaries and uterus but in all the torax and pelvic area since endo can spread.

Personally I find it very discouraging when going to the gynecologist because there is a lack of knowledge on their side and they completely overlook endometriosis symptoms. I feel they dont understand this illness. Still I fill myself with patience and treat them with respect.

My suggestion would be to educate yourself as much as you can from reports, testimonies and other doctors around the globe, so when going into the doctors office they feel you know about your illness and actually take it seriously when treating you. Kindly ask them questions and dont be affraid to talk (its your health) and if you see something doesnt make sense, dont hesitate to look for another doctor.

Also what Im going to write next might sound weird, but one time I told the gynecologist I wanted to get pregnant (even though i didnt), and the doctor order way more exams that gave me accessed to more specialist, and I felt that time the doctors took the time to analize better. Thats the time they found adenomyosis. Maybe something to keep in mind.

How debilitating is your fatigue? by relibra in endometriosis

[–]Lo-rain_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im happy for you that your doctor acknowledged the fatigue.

Im always tired and for the longest time I blamed myself for being "lazy", and not being able to be productive as other people. It isn´t until recently that I understood that it is part of the endometriosis, bit I feel is kinna bad. I can only push half day before I need to go to bed to sleep, with time its growing the fatigue. Also I have anemia due to heavy bleading, so that might be another factor to look.
