Gabriella - Endometriosis
• 41 minAhh Endometriosis, is something we heara about so much, yet it’s super hard to diagnose. Gabriella battled with painful symptoms since her early 20’s - sharp pain from her lower back down to her heels, sometimes so bad she would be lying on the waiting room floor begging for pain relief. After eight years of moving from doctor to doctor, she was diagnosed with endometriosis, which is something that is still soooooo hard (and expensive) to manage. After surgery, they found endo inside her left ovary, bowel, left abdomen, lower pelvic region, and all around the sciatic nerve. And some said it was all in her heard (urgh). Endometriosis affects one in 9 women and those who identify as gender diverse. It’s a condition where tissue similar to what lines the uterus, grows in other areas of the body, especially the pelvis. These cells grow and form lesions or patches that bleed and leak fluid in response to your hormones when you’re on your period, which leads to inflammation and scarring. If you think you have endo, book an appointment with a health care specialist before self-diagnosing.
