I have dealt with Endometriosis my entire life, I didn’t even know what it was. It took over 10 years for a laparoscopy diagnosis and by then it was too late. When I first started my period, I went to multiple doctors about excruciating period related pain that lasted throughout each month. I was failed by each of my OBGYNS they put me on birth control, which only masked Endometriosis and my symptoms. What could’ve been stage 1 Endometriosis, quickly blossomed into stage 4 Endometriosis. Let’s just say I had to make a choice, between life or death due to my abdominal organs being stuck together like CEMENT from Endometriosis lesions. I chose life and was forced to have a total hysterectomy at the age of 29. All because doctors didn’t act on the disease more quickly. Long story short, if I could go back in time. I would have advocated more for myself, maybe I would be looking into the eyes of my own biological child. Instead, Endometriosis and the medical system took that from me. My goal now, is to spread awareness about how important early diagnoses of Endometriosis is. It’s important to preserve your fertility ladies, as much as you can. Not only that, but Endometriosis can spread way beyond the pelvic region. Keep that in mind, and always advocate heavily for yourself if you’re dealing with chronic period pain that effects your quality of life. #fypviral #iamastage4endowarrior @k_endowarrior
