So what exactly is en-doe-me- trio- sis? ‼️‼️
Tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found in & around the pelvis, attaching to organs & the spaces between including the uterus, bladder, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterosacral ligaments & peritoneum (it can also involve other parts like your bowels, intestines, re**um & appendix). Every month the tissue bleeds, like a period, except the blood has nowhere to go, so it stays there causing inflammation & pain.‼️Sometimes the disease can stick organs together or form cysts on the ovaries. Symptoms can include pelvic pain, excessive bleeding, fatigue, back & leg ache, nausea, pain during/after s*x. Some women have symptoms only during menstruation, but others may have them more often.
Theeee wonderful ⚠️💥has written a book 📚 about living with it, just having had almost a dozen surgeries for it, 🙏but the biggest thing she’s learnt is that it’s never too late to try something to alleviate the symptoms. ⚠️💥🙌🏻
“After many years of looking I have found a pelvic health physio , who has tailored her treatment approach to ENDO with stretches , advice and manual therapy. Go back to basics sometimes. 🤗
All heroes wear capes- sometimes they wear leggings & push you to do stretches you don’t want to do!” This one is Irish ☘️
