i am a 23 year old woman who faced medical trauma and ptsd following a relatively invasive surgery.
It was a suspected ruptured ovarian cyst but was later diagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy that required surgical removal. Post surgery was quite excruciating, the pain was immense and terrifying.
Everything felt as if it were on fire and my emotions were more than in overdrive. I still have flashbacks of the doctors faces, the ones who made me feel incredibly small and fragile and the ones who were an aid in the distress.
Be mindful of the care you keep in the field of your body. I still have fear that the same event will happen and i hope to eventually overcome the fear of having to go through the emotional and physical pain i endured.
