After 10 years of struggling with my cycle, I got diagnosed with endometriosis. Endometriosis is a condition in which endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus. Symptoms can vary, but it is typically characterized by severe and heavy pain and bleeding. It remains heavily under-diagnosed, and most women only find out they have it when trying to get pregnant or once it has caused more complications requiring surgery. I always knew something wasn’t right about my period, but according to my GP my pain and bleeding weren’t serious enough so I thought I was overreacting. You know your body better than anyone, and if something isn’t feeling right for you, please get it checked. If your doctor won’t listen, go again or try a different one. Fortunately my endometriosis is treatable without surgery, but the earlier you get diagnosed, the less complications you’ll most likely have. We don’t always get taken seriously, and the cultural taboo on discussing reproductive health does not help. Our pain is real and we have to advocate for ourselves. There is so much more I could say. If you want to talk, feel free to reach out 🫶🏽 #endometriosis #womenshealth #soundad
I share these videos not only to raise awareness, but so that my vulnerability can make you feel less alone.
Endometriosis is real, this is a prime example of how quickly things change.
This video was taken while I was at my cousins birthday. One minute i was laughing and talking, the next I had to walk out into the front yard and sit down because my body couldn’t endure the pain. I also didnt want the entire family to see me like this.
The unpredictability of living with a chronic illness is hard, a flare up will hit you at any given time. You are not alone! ❤️🩹❤️🩹

It’s estimated that the average plastic cutting board exposes us to up to 50g of micro plastics annually 🤯 That’s like eating 2 AA batteries worth of plastic a year!
Instead of a plastic cutting board, switch to wood. Wood is naturally antimicrobial, will last you much longer, and won’t mess with your hormones.

It seems like my ovarian cysts + endometriosis has been getting worse lately 💔 It’s been so hard dealing with all of this but I’m hoping I’ll find some relief soon working with my docs 🥲🤍 #ovariancysts #endometriosis #ovaryremoval #ovariancystawareness #ovariancystrupture #womenshealth #momsoftiktok #momlife #toddlermom #relatable #lifebytiffanynicole
