Endometrosis:
a condition resulting from the appearance of endometrial tissue OUTSIDE the uterus and causing pelvic pain.
ALSO- I wanted to address the title change of this video-
RESEARCH has proven that a hysterectomy can help ALLIEVIATE pain, but it DOES NOT HEAL ENDOMETROSIS. In fact, research has shown that most patients having undergone a hysterectomy experience a increase in pain and anxiety and worsened symptoms of endometrosis and adhesions.
Any surgery is risky- just make sure you are fully educated on all aspects of ANY SURGERY you have done. Thanks for watching spoonies!
About me: My name is Jessica. I am married- 2 sons. I do still work full time- but use my American with Disabilities rights so that I am not reprimanded at work when I need to take care of my illnesses.
I was born with Hirschprungs Disease. I have had 15 abdominal surgeries- including a colostomy and pull thru- full hysterectomy, as I have Stage 4 Endometrosis and Adhesion Related Disorder- My bladder has been shredded apart and repaired. The surgeries resulted in PONP( Post Operative Neuropathic Pain) I have hypothyroid and migraines- but what this all boils down to is I have chronic pain- I am 28 years young- a young mother, career driven women, and I am doing my best to be an advocate for myself and others. I am tired of being told there are no answers- WE must be each others ANSWERS now.
My son Jamie had a late diagnosis of Kawasaki Disease in 2015 resulting in him having damage to his heart. He has 3 giant aneurysms in his Left Anterior Descending Coronary Artery. He also has a small aneurysm in his Celiac artery (stomach). He is currently doing well on medications.
I have experience as a lifetime patient, newer patient caregiver, experienced healthcare professional and advocate.
