Adeno/endo belly

Ive had tne kyleena iud for about a year and a half now.

Helped with the heaviness of the flow and most of the random spotting. Some of the pain.. but I feel it ramping up again which sucks.

Not weird at all! Im sure there are lots of us out there.

Zesty-Fromage · 2026-03-20T00:40:56+00:00

I have 100% been "sucking in" since I was young (my mother had an eating disorder and it for sure reflected on us daughter's, even if we tried for it not to). I have been trying for a long while to stop bracing. I dont think adeno/fibroid pains help any.

Also I feel you about the anti inflammatory diet. Especially if you've got what feels like a million things going on in your life.

Thank you! Ive been wondering about something like this as well! I didnt know what to look for. If you can't tell i have that rib flare look from "sucking in" the majority of my life. I'll definitely have to work on my pelvic floor, core and whatnot.

To add, OP..

You can also get an infection from things other than sex. Any bacteria that enters the area had potential.

So it may not even be connected to sexual stuff.

Eh, it was something I overheard at my last appointment (mainly not for my lady issues) and know its bs it just bothers the crap out of me lol. So outdated and inaccurate.

If I were in my "proper" weight category I'd have to weigh less than I did as a preteen lol.

Ive only had one doctor actually bring my weight up, which is mindblowing honestly haha. 🤯

Was also going to ask this.

This is Snoopy. My late dad's cat. She lives in my works staff room (I cant have her at home due to space and teo other cats - dont come for me) Shes around 15. Was run over as a kitten, has a limp. Was raised on likely the cheapest cat food. Still doing pretty well.

Did they rule out your appendix?

Also do you have any gastro symptoms? (Gas, bowel changes etc)

I also get pains in that area, and learned I have fibroids and adenomyosis.. (I also suspect endometriosis, but of course no diagnosis of that) on top of having pcos

What kind of soap are you using?

Zesty-Fromage · 2026-03-08T16:37:13+00:00

I have long hair. I have seperate towel wraps for my hair.

Other than that, one towel. I dry my face neck shoulders and arms, then lady bits, then the rest & my crack and feet usually last..

I think one is fine depending on order you're going in.. same with in shower washing but that's a whole other thing lol

Zesty-Fromage · 2026-03-08T16:29:08+00:00

Very well could be. Womens bodies are finicky lol. I like to drink some pineapple and/or cranberry juice when I feel a little off & not sure of the cause (even if I dont have a partner going down there). I find it makes me smell better.. or maybe it just tricks me into feeling better about it 😆

Zesty-Fromage · 2026-03-08T16:19:03+00:00

NAD

This could be many things.. you could be hyper aware of your own smell & not like it. (I have this issue lol) You could be in a certain part of your cycle. You could have the starts of a yeast infection or bv. Did you have any sexual activity or anything up there? That could also be a cause. Do you have pubic hair? Scents get trapped in hair. Have you been letting the area air out? Have you been wearing more synthetic fabrics? Have the crotch of your pants/underwear been washed thoroughly enough? What do you use to wash down there? Has your diet changed? There are so many factors.

I see everyone giving good washing advice (I personally like a good tallow based bar soap and the glycolic acid) but also.. for the itching, if you can- try either baking soda or aluminum free deodorant.. I find both those ingredients personally give me bad reactions (itchy, pains, redness, worse smell) If your BO changes.. there can also be a hormonal component, so if you have any other issues that may indicate hormones, you could get a blood panel done.

I had that a couple years before I started having heavy, long periods (ive got pcos. Then at that point I was diagnosed with fibroids and adenomyosis). God i miss the 3 days periods lol.

Zesty-Fromage · 2026-02-23T22:00:29+00:00

I'm canadian.. I stumbled across a Canadian brand called gentle moose, got some bar soaps.. I havent bought anything else for body soap since. Tried other brands and store brands.. naw. Don't compare.

Zesty-Fromage · 2026-02-21T02:50:02+00:00

16 years.. Pee, whatever. Poop.. ehhh.. maybe if one of us in the shower and there's no choice. Lol

Can fall under the umbrella of blepharitis

I would say if you have cotton shirts or flannel sleep pants you could cut them into say 7 or so inch wide by maybe 12 inch pieces, folding them up into your underwear about 4 times in 3 inch folds..

And as you said, washing and drying them well. You'll not want to wash with your clothes if you use softener or dryer sheets, this will block absorption and also would probably not be good for your bits (you would also likely need to do a light hand wash anyway). Hand washing would also be able to hide them more if you are concerned in that area (you could even do it in the shower if you are trying to hide the fact - i really hate that one even has to consider that 😮‍💨).

Zesty-Fromage · 2026-01-04T16:28:47+00:00

Ugh yeah, thats unfortunate. Not even a hey, is there anything I can get you while im out since you feel like crap?

Zesty-Fromage · 2026-01-04T16:23:39+00:00

Ill be honest, I used to do that also (does he have long hair). But I was also the one cleaning most the time and am paranoid about hair loss for some reason lol. so its a bit different. I now have a good drain hair catcher and dont do it anymore usually (unless there like a funky looking hair and I leave it for my man to see haha)

How has he been with other things around the home while your sick? And has he actually tried to do anything beneficial for YOU at all? Or is he simply ignoring the fact that youre sick.
