Some of the Endo-Advocates and patients shared some inspiring words about their own bodies

My diagnosis with Endometriosis has made me realize how strong women truly are. I am blessed with two children and still to this day live from endometriosis, but I am committed to not letting it interfere or slow down my life.

I never heard of Endo before until I learned I was living with it. Now, I am not afraid to share my own experiences with others.

I have my ups and downs with Endo. I am still learning about what works best for me and what doesn't. Keeping a positive mindset that is healthy and open, is what makes me get through a flare-up

I love my body, even with a chronic condition. I know its own limits and I listen to it. We need to listen to our body. That is how we learn from it.

Worldwide EndoMarch strives to keep patients advocating and spreading awareness through their own story. Feel free to share yours below!

We always remind patients that all Endometriosis treatment plans are specific to the needs of each patient and will differ from other individuals. Some patients may have a more simplistic approach were others may require more complex plans to ease symptoms. There is no cure for endometriosis, but there are many effective treatments to assist the intensity of pain and possible fertility issues. Common treatment plans include the following: additional vitamin intake, birth control, prescribed NSAIDs, cauterization, ablations, and finally, electrosurgery and/or laparoscopic surgery. Some additional treatments may include your own self-care techniques which may include the use of a heating pad, meditation, light exercise (yoga, pilates, walk, etc.), and diet changes. Additionally, research has proved that endometriosis symptoms improve after menopause. Other treatments will be variable for the health of each woman suffering from these conditions.

An endometriosis patient could experience the following symptoms: constipation, nausea, chronic fatigue, chronic lower back or pelvic pain, painful periods, infertility, joint and nerve pain, painful intercourse, increased pain during bowel movements, sciatica, excessive bleeding, swelling in the pelvic cavity, spotting and bleeding in between cycles, and painful digestion. There may be other symptoms that might be specific from patient to patient that may not be listed here. Again, not all endometriosis patients may have these symptoms present or at the same intensity as others may experience.

REPOST FROM @hopestillstands_llc || STRENGTH|When

REPOST FROM @hopestillstands_llc || STRENGTH|When I was born, my parents were told by the doctors that I only had one kidney, jaundice, blood on my stomach and a liver infection. By the age of 10, I started my cycle and from there every month I would have horrible abdominal and back pain. In my 20’s, I was misdiagnosed several times. But I was so happy when I finally found a Reproductive Endocrinologist who properly diagnosed what I had been going through for so many years. After having a hysterosalpingogram, the doctor told me that I was also born with a double uterus and a double cervix called didelphys. I soon had to go through 3 laparoscopic surgeries, several medical procedures, bloodwork, ultrasounds, MRI’s while also begin taking infertility drugs. I was diagnosed with having endometriosis. The pain I had to carry for all those years, from my stomach down to my legs, was at times so unbearable. As women of color we often times keep our infertility struggles to ourselves. Feeling like we are alone in our pain. Just as I once felt like I was alone, the only one born this way & going through this journey of infertility. But I am so grateful for my #endosisters of @endo_black, who have shined a light of support for Black Women battling endometriosis & infertility 🎗We are not alone in this fight. We are stronger together. For my sisters out there who are longing for a baby or may be going through infertility, please don’t suffer in silence. We see you🎗We hear you 🎗We are you 🎗

Our best suggestion is to reach out to your OBGYN

Our best suggestion is to reach out to your OBGYN and/or your primary doctor. Your medical professional will be able to assist you in finding a treatment plan that works specifically for you and for your symptoms! Not all endometriosis patients reflect the same symptoms. Remember to come forward with all present symptoms that you may experience and be honest with the intensity of the pain you may be in. Additionally, it may take some time for your body to adjust to treatments that may be recommended to you. Recognize that you are not alone with an endometriosis diagnosis and you can seek additional support with the following: -Seeking care at Reproductive clinics -Speaking with Family and Friends
-Participating in Endometriosis Blogs -Becoming an Endometriosis Advocate
-Worldwide EndoMarch

REPOST FROM @bambi_and_nala || 💛 PLEASE READ 💛
So although we usually post our silly antics and cutenesses, today we wanted to help spread some awareness, so please keep reading! 🥰

Endometriosis pronounced en- doh – mee – tree – oh – sis) is the name given to the condition where cells like the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body.

Each month these cells react in the same way to those in the womb, building up and then breaking down and bleeding. Unlike the cells in the womb that leave the body as a period, this blood has no way to escape. It causes excruciating pain, heavy bleeding, painful sex, fatigue and many other symptoms and is a chronic and extremely debilitating condition. Sadly, we have had to watch our bestest friend (our hooman’s cousin) @harrietmartinjones suffer with Endometriosis and although we can provide many cuddles and much doggo love, it is not a cure and in fact - there is STILL no cure for Endometriosis! 😠 Even though it affects 1 in 10 of the hooman population that have reproductive systems.

We were meant to go to Cardiff today to take part in the World EndoMarch but because of the current situation we couldn’t, so we wanted to raise awareness instead. March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and there are loads of amazing places to learn more about endo and to help raise awareness of a truly awful, debilitating condition. Check out @endometriosis.uk @ftww_wales or @wwendomarch for more info.

We #EndoMarch for our hooman friend Harriet and everyone who is effected by this invisible illness. If us doggos can show support then so can you! 🐾💛 •

REPOST from @saraleontis || I am sharing my story

REPOST from @saraleontis || I am sharing my story in honor of the Worldwide Endometriosis March (virtual now). Endometriosis is not just painful periods. It is a chronic condition that affects 1 in 10 women and can include pain all the time, severe bloating (aka “endo belly”), GI issues, chronic fatigue, leg pain, back pain, shoulder pain, infertility, painful bowel movements, painful and frequent urination, and much more. It takes a huge toll on your mental health too.

I have been struggling for the past 8+ years, and it took me until 5 weeks ago to get a diagnosis. I was told by countless doctors that there was nothing wrong with me and that I was just being a baby, that I should suck it up because people have it worse than me, that I would be like this for the rest of my life, that I was just exaggerating and seeking attention, and that it was all in my head. I have missed out on so much throughout college, post-grad life, and grad school due to my severe pain and other symptoms. I have gotten to the point where I can’t wear pants due to the severe bloating and pain, and I have a permanent burn from my heating pad. One of the hardest decisions for me was to take a full year off from my DPT program and not graduate with my classmates.

The delay in diagnosis and proper treatment is so wrong, but unfortunately very common. It takes an average of 7-10 years JUST to get a diagnosis, and can only be officially diagnosed through surgery. It’s time to spread awareness and change the narrative!
I am finally on my way to healing, and this would not have been possible without the endless support from my family, friends, fellow endosisters, and amazing medical team including @dririsorbuch and @pelvicwhisperer. I may have endometriosis, but endometriosis does NOT have me! 💛🎗💛🎗 #endometriosis #endowarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #invisibleillness #whyweendomarch #1in10
