AND FYI, FOR THE MEN (espec the younger ones) IN THIS GROUP.. DONT FRANTIC THIS ISNT TOO MUCH GIRLY GIRL INFO😊I Promise!!
••••Yesterday I had my wellness check up and 1st let me give an overall picture of how...if there’s 1 in 3 million chance to be a SCIENCE PROJECT... I’m it!! I had a TOTAL hysterectomy 14 years ago and it was physically proven it was a (total) hysterectomy. 6 years ago I became extremely ill involving vomiting and using the bathroom of blood, extreme low blood pressure etc. after numerous trips to the ER and tests, a mass the size of 2 fists was discovered on my intestines. Exploratory surgery was performed & I was prepared to wake up w/ a bag attached to my body. Once the surgeon was inside of my abdomen, severe endometriosis was discovered along w/ massive scar tissue. The surgeon had to actually in his own words straddle me on the operating table to actually chisel away & carterize the hard concrete-like scar tissue from previous operations away from my organs and Found large masses of endometrosis on my intestines & my rectum, along w/ smaller areas on my liver & bladder. My body was still producing endometriosis, (& so they thought, from my hormone pill, that included estrogen, which is the main say food for Endo), my entire life I have battled endometriosis. my 1 child who is 20, is my miracle child- I was told at 19 I would never have children.During surgery they had to remove 12 inches of my intestines and half of my rectum. Needless to say a very long surgery very hard and long recovery. The nerve endings for my intestines and rectum had to adapt to their new mechanism . After I was taken off of estrogen (female replacement hormone) & took only progesterone, for Severe hot flashes etc. two years later I began to bleed again, I went 2my gyn & somehow Endo had now grown along the sides of my ‘Empty’ reproductive area. In all the yrs of my gyn practice, he had NEVER encountered this & rarely heard of this happening. Needless to say it was removed and as I was saying yesterday was my check up, Which hurts extremely bad pinching and burning which it should not have (& as I said b4 my hubby doesn’t approach me romantically, so for now.. I guess that’s a good thing), but I still miss intimacy but ANYWAY....he sd by me Not having estrogen, has caused my reproductive area’s lining to thin, which caused pinching, pain, so he tt me about Estriol & said it was my decision because I am deathly scared of estrogen. He said w/ estrial being a tiny insert pill “directly to the area”, I have a much better chance of NOT encountering endo AGAIN. He wants me to try this for two months and then return for a check up.
HAS ANYONE BATTLED ENDOMETRIOSIS AS I HAVE & DOES ANYONE TAKE ESTRIAL TABLETS ???
