REPOST FROM @theadenoproject

This is the theme of the 2021 Awareness Month Campaign. I loved it so much last night when creating the Facebook frames so I wanted to create a graphic in case anyone else would like to share this

Adenomyosis is not rare. It’s rarely spoken about but that is changing now. Thank you to everyone who has opened up and shared their story. This month we will finally be sharing those stories with everyone, starting tomorrow! 💜

REPOST FROM @alexisrosemond

“Every woman gets cramps, you just have a bad period.” “Everything seems fine, I do not know what may be causing your pain.”

Since I was 14 years old, these are the things I heard from countless women and medical professionals who were not aware of endometriosis. Years of pain, isolation, hundreds of dollars spent, all because no one knew of this disease. I was about 21 when I first heard of the illness that I would later realize was the true cause of my pain. Even then, my doctor at the time was not fully familiar and was hesitant to operate. I along with my mom began to do our own research. We learned more about endometriosis than most gynecologists we had come in contact ever did or cared to know. We prayed, we planned and beyond our wildest expectations God brought us to the same state where one of the leading endometriosis surgeons in the world held his practice. One visit, in less than 10 minutes would change my world. He looked me in the eye and said “I am 99% positive you have endometriosis, you are not crazy, you’re not making this up. I believe you and I can help you.” All the years of excruciating pain, isolation, despair and frustration finally melted away all because I was not only seen but heard. I am here to bring awareness for all women fighting this illness to be heard, to be seen, to be supported.

REPOST FROM @lilyekupa

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month!! This month is so important, because of the HUGE lack of awareness and understanding of endo. The average delay in diagnosis is 7-10 years! And most womxn are told prior to diagnosis that their pain and symptoms are “in their head”. The diagnosis delay and common dismissal and gaslighting are absolutely not okay. The delay can cause both enormous physical and emotional consequences. When endo is not treated correctly it can literally suffocate and entangle your organs and cause organ failure, severe health issues, and inability to ever conceive. The dismissal and gaslighting can cause immense psychological distress including medical post traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and suicidality. I have struggled with all of the above. I was dismissed and gaslighted for 4 years, I was told all of my pain and symptoms were in my head. I was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Nezhat @camrannezhatmd at the age of 17. He was the only doctor who actually listened to me. He understood my pain and my suffering. He scheduled my laparoscopic surgery for the week after I met him. This surgery confirmed my stage IV endometriosis diagnosis. He removed all the lesions and cysts and unattached organs that were adhered to one another. Post surgery, at the age of 17 I also was induced into menopause, to help keep my endo from growing back as much. Being induced into menopause in my teenage years has been very hard and strange, but it has truly changed my life for the better. I no longer suffer with severe endo pain on a daily basis. Through my journey with endo, I have learned the significant importance of self advocacy and never settling for dismissal. I will continue to use my journey to spread awareness as I go to college and pursue a career in the health field. Sending love to all my endo warriors. 💛 @wwendomarch #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endo #1in10

REPOST FROM @endometriosispanama

Con esta bella foto queremos agradecer a todas las Socias y sus familias, EndoGuerreras seguidoras y sus familias, EndoAmigos de Aenpa por el apoyo incondicional el día de ayer a nuestras 3 actividades.
.
Iniciamos en el Auto Rápido Express, con un apoyo fuera de serie que sólo nos quedaron termos y gorras porque eran muchos jajajaja quizás senubieran ido todo si eran menos... Pero todo lo demás voló se evaporó, gracias porque fue debido al apoyo de ustedes, que fueron por su suéter y productos promocionales. Mil bendiciones por las DONACIONES dejadas en nuestro buzón.
.
Los encendidos de luces en la Torre de @capitalbankpanama y el Edificio de La Administración del Canal de Panamá @canaldepanama fueron sumamente emocionantes y emotivos ver el apoyo de dos grandes entidades de nuestro país.
.
Mil gracias a los Honorables Diputados @jdvasquezgut y @walkiriachd por estar y seguir mostrando su gran solidaridad a todas las pacientes de Endometriosis en Panamá.
.
Gracias Panamá, AENPA estará eternamente agradecida también si vemos la Sanción del Señor Presidente Nito Cortizo C. @nitocortizo

REPOST FROM @laurelandiron
#endometriosis can make you feel really alone but it’s more common than you think. At least 1 in 10 women have the disease. During this global pandemic, it can feel even lonelier but it doesn’t have to feel that way! Over on the blog, I have a list of virtual #endometriosisawareness events in March that you can attend from the comfort of your home. Head on over to www.laurelandiron.com for all the details!

This International Women's Day, we #ChooseToChallenge the gender bias and inequality in healthcare. Women, especially women of color, are more likely than men to be misdiagnosed, not taken seriously, and told that their pain is all in their head.

We are proud to serve womxn all over the world and hope to see the day where no individual suffers from #endometriosis.

Even though we are in Endometriosis Awareness Month, there is not a day that goes by that I am not talking about endo or explaining it to someone. 💛 My kids are very young, 6 and 10 and they can tell anyone what this disease is. Start them young so they are able to help their friends as they get older when their friends have no one to turn to. Knowledge is power. 💛

Endometriosis is NOT the endometrium‼️ REPOST

Endometriosis is NOT the endometrium‼️

REPOST FROM @eightysixtheendo

First off, let's get the definition right. ENDOMETRIOSIS IS NOT THE ENDOMETRIUM!!!!⁣
⁣
Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic, and inflammatory disease where cells SIMILAR TO, but histologically different than the normal cells of the uterine wall are found in other areas of the body. ⁣
⁣
Endometriosis leads to many symptoms; including chronic pelvic pain, extremely painful periods, heavy periods, abdominal bloating, painful sex, pain with bowel movements, pain with urination, chest pain, sciatic nerve pain, chronic fatigue, migraines, infertility, and MUCH MORE. ⁣
⁣
So, spread the word! ENDOMETRIOSIS IS NOT THE ENDOMETRIUM!!!⁣
