What exactly is #endometriosis?

It’s a disease where tissue that resembles the lining of the uterus is present outside of the uterus. It causes chronic inflammation and scarring leading to pain and/or infertility. It’s a complex disease and affects so many women around the world - starting with their first period all the way through menopause if not treated properly.

Symptoms include:
•Painful periods that affect your ability to do the things you want to do
•Chronic pelvic/vaginal/rectal/abdominal/hips/back pain
•Fatigue
•Abdominal bloating
•Infertility
•Nausea
•Pain during or after sex
•Painful bowel movements and urination

I found so much comfort in the stories of other women when I didn’t have the answers and it’s been an honor to pay it forward. I hope by sharing this I can support someone feeling isolated and misunderstood in their pain, as so many women with endometriosis feel. The average diagnosis for endometriosis is 10 years

Here are some things I wish I knew 15 years ago before I knew about endo

* Advocate for your health. SEEK help and demand answers, even if that means switching doctors
* Painful periods are not nornal
* Do your own research
* Find support in your community or online forums
* Don’t be embarrassed to speak up about your symptoms. You’re not alone and you are more than 1 in 10💛

I never wanted to say out loud I have rectovaginal endometriosis, even to close friends and family, because I was embarrassed. It’s raw. But if I can help one person out there get the answers they need and the strength to speak up for their health, then I’ll talk about my experience all day long. So here it is 💛💛 thank you so much @endofound for this special award and to my fellow honoree @corinnefoxx for all that you do
