Pelvic pain is often misunderstood because it can be caused by a wide range of conditions and disorders, making it difficult to diagnose and treat. Additionally, many people feel uncomfortable discussing pelvic pain because it is related to sensitive areas of the body, such as the ge****ls and reproductive organs.

There are also several factors that contribute to the misunderstanding and mismanagement of pelvic pain, including:

Lack of awareness: Many people, including healthcare providers, are not well-informed about the causes and treatments of pelvic pain. As a result, it may be dismissed or overlooked, leaving patients to suffer in silence.

Stigma and shame: There is often a cultural taboo surrounding pelvic pain, especially when it is related to sexual or reproductive health. This can prevent people from seeking help or talking openly about their symptoms.

Misdiagnosis: Pelvic pain can be caused by many different conditions, some of which may be difficult to diagnose. Misdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary or ineffective treatments and a delay in getting the proper care.

Gender bias: Pelvic pain is more common in women than men, and there is evidence to suggest that gender bias may play a role in the underdiagnosis and undertreatment of pelvic pain in women.

It is important for healthcare providers to be aware of the complexity of pelvic pain and to take a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment. Patients should also be encouraged to speak openly and honestly about their symptoms and to seek help when needed.

No endometriosis patients symptom is exactly the same as another patient. I’ve seen so many different combinations. You can have all of these symptoms or just one and STIlLL have endometriosis. [which is the line that got cut off- see my story or tiktok for the non cut off version. PS This video certainly does not include every symptom.]

This tiktok is dedicated to everyone who has asked, “but my periods aren’t THAT bad, can I still have endometriosis?” yes!

Endometriosis is so common that even mild cases of it, often get dismissed as IBS, IC or even as PMS. A through history taking is how I recognize endometriosis.

If you have endometriosis (or suspect you do) what symptoms do you have? And what do you not have?

Comment below to create awareness!

It’s National Infertility Awareness Week!

1 in 8 are affected with infertility. That’s quite high when you think about it.

In my patient setting, I see a majority of people who identify as female in their reproductive age. What does that even mean? The age range that a person can become pregnant.

I see so many people stuffer with infertility. Pregnancy losses (which is 1 in 4). People who have undergone hysterectomy due to pain from adenomyosis. People who have low ovarian reserve or the inability to carry a pregnancy due to endometriosis.

The thing I see the most of is the lack of education about options. People are poorly informed about what fertility options look like.

Most people have an “idea” of what it means, mainly that it’s something so out of their price point that they can’t consider.

This is a failure of the health system. And I think social media is actually doing a better job then school on educating people about fertility. If you want or even have an inking you may want a child at some point in your life consider these tips.

1. Recognize that certain conditions affect fertility. Know what those conditions are. For instance endometriosis, adenomyosis, pcos etc.

2. Be familiar with the term ovarian reserve, the bloodwork version is AMH. Speak to your doctor about whether you should be checking this level to get a sense of where your ovarian reserve is. Don’t be shocked to have a low ovarian reserve when you are ready to try.

3. For many women failed reproductive treatments can happen because endometriosis can make it difficult for an embryo to implant. Consider procedures like an endometriosis excision prior to implanting an embryo for better success.

4. Do your research. The statistics of the facility are public record. Find a place that has good success rates.

5. Talked about egg preservation options with a fertility specialist early. I feel like this should be encouraged at the undergraduate and graduate school level. Skies the limit to our careers but because people with uterus have to carry the baby we are often limited or feel limited by our desire to have a child.

No matter what this election brings my feelings about what is right will NOT change. After my experience phone banking and working at the polls I realized how many people are not educated on the facts. Many people voted for the person they thought would win. Just like when you root for a team that is likely to win. My kids do this often as soon as they see a team take the lead. Remember there are people who follow these teams despite the ups and downs. I will continue to root for what is right despite the ups and downs.

I will continue to care about children in cages or separated from their families because all children matter, not just mine.

I will continue to fight for the rights of black people and I promise to step up when I witness any inequality or imposition of stereotypes and prejudices.

I will continue to highlight and change in the way I can, the inequities in healthcare.

I will continue to embrace the minorities in this beautiful melting pot that is the United States.

I will continue to have faith in my religion and educate my children on its beauty despite the way many Americans choose to disparage and attack it as if there is only one way to believe in God.

I will continue to educate and protect my patients on their reproductive rights to choose for themselves what they want to do with their bodies.

I will continue to encourage people to love who they want in the way they want.

I am not privileged to be white in America. But in a way I’m privileged to be awake and recognize how deep the racism is in this country. I hope all the parents (and anyone really) reading this will join me in raising children who are aware of the deeply rooted hatred in this country and vow to rise above it. It is our responsibility. Please don’t let me down.

Tomorrow I won’t have time to post because I will be working an election poll for the first time from 5AM until 10PM.

Thankfully this will be my last time posting about this election. Many of you have already voted, by absentee ballot or early in person. For those who have no interest in voting because you feel conflicted - remember this year it’s absolutely important to vote for YOUR future.

Picture where you and your family will be in 4 years. My daughters will be 12 and 11 both of whom will likely have their periods. They may need hormonal medication to manage their pain. My parents will be over 70 with Pre-existing conditions and will rely on Medicare for insurance. My friends and family who are here on green cards legally are hoping to stay here with their families. I am a Muslim person of color, with black friends and colleagues. Their safety should not be at stake based on an election. But it is. So please vote with your heart and brains and not your wallet in mind.

🗳 I voted for Biden to end this pandemic.
Biden has a plan and believes in science. Period. [He had me at science]

I voted to protect my patients right to hormonal medication and reproductive rights.

I voted to protect my patients and family with pre-existing medical conditions.

To have a leader who isnt openly misogynistic and openly racist.

🇺🇸 We need a leader who wants to unite the United States and not divide.

🇺🇸 Who isn’t treating this country like a business that is about to go bankrupt.

Who lives with integrity and doesn’t try to lie, cheat and commit fraud for his own self good. Oh and is for ALL the citizens of the United States and not just those in his party.

This is not the time to vote for someone to save your taxes when there are literal children in cages.

🗳 Vote for the person you wouldn’t be scared to be in a room with alone.

One of the common myths that leads people to avoid the flu shot is that they think the shot will give them the flu. Which is simply not true. The virus in the vaccine is not active, and an inactive virus cannot transmit disease. What is true is that you may feel the effects of your body mounting an immune response, but that does not mean you have the flu.

I got my flu shot this week. I had no symptoms after. No fevers or chills, no lethargy, no weakness or muscle aches. I understand that I’m lucky and that many do in fact feel some symptoms but it’s important to remember this is not the flu but your body mounting a response to the vaccination.

With COVID-19 still very present and actually surging in many cities it’s important to have protection from the flu since a COVID vaccine is not available yet. Remember it is possible have the flu, as well as other respiratory illnesses, and COVID-19 at the same time. Many of the symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar, making it hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Diagnostic testing can help determine if you are sick with flu or COVID-19. The CDC has developed a test that will check for A and B type seasonal flu viruses and SARS CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Ultimately the choice is yours. My daughter is asking for her flu shot everyday! As her pediatrician office is dealing with a delay in delivery, I took advantage of some free time to take care of myself and get my flu shot.

For anyone wondering this is a great time to get it as it effectiveness should last until flu season is over. Although in certain places the flu can remain for longer!
