Endometriosis 🎗️

Endometriosis is a common condition (1 in 10) that causes significant distress and disruption in those who suffer from it.

Endometrosis is when the tissue that should only be lining the uterus (womb) are also found in places where they are not supposed to be for example the ovaries, tubes, muscle of the womb & large intestines. ( see 2nd post on carousel)

Women who have endometriosis can have pain thoroughout their cycle but excruciating pain during their periods. S*x can be painful as can openings their bowels. Some women with endometriosis have difficulty getting pregnant.

The way it is diagnosed is by the symptoms you tell your doctor and also by laparoscopy ( key hole surgery).

There are severe treatments including hormones to suppress the tissue from shedding and also surgical treatments which either laser off or remove the endometrosis.
Due to the severity of the pain, a lot of women can suffer mental health problems too. You need to be aware of that and get help there too.srilanka have some fantastic resources to help get the support you need

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer for women in Sri Lanka.
However it is preventable.

1. Get the HPV vaccine. The Vaccine a part of the National Immunisation Program of teenager girls in SL and most parts of the world. However, if you are too old for this - private clinics can provide.

2.Have you smear test. The government have a screening program. The MOH Well Women clinics carry them out as do the FPA. Privately, any gynaecologist/women’s health doctor can carry out a smear.

PERIOD MYTHS

🩸Period blood is not dirty

🩸You can exercise with your period

🩸You can wash your hair on your period

🩸Women who have not had s*x can use tampons/menstrual cups

Periods are a normal bodily function. We must break the taboo of never discussing them in open society.

If you are bleeding in-between periods, after s*x or bleeding very heavily, you should see your doctor.

Sometimes birth control and certain other medications can cause irregular bleeding but it is always worth checking with you doctor. Sometimes there is a small growth on the cervix or the womb.

The doctor will examine you to have a look at your cervix. Usually a scan is ordered to get a look at your womb.

Social media is awash with photos of women breastfeeding as it world breast feeding week.

This chaos was my breastfeeding reality for the first 3 weeks of motherhood. Pumping every 2 hours. My daughter was premature and would refuse the breast. I had countless reviews by breast feeding midwives and Support workers. Then one day a support worker suggested ni**le shields - the relief I felt when she finally took the breast. Due to fantastic support I received I was able to breastfeed for more than 2 years. However, I am aware not everyone was as lucky as me. I thought I would it be easy like in the movies. No one tells you how hard it can be. I know and are trying very hard to give women the support they need.

To all the mothers out there who are surviving - be on the breast, expressing, mixed or formula - you are doing the best you can do.

How to have a healthy v***a

The v***a is the all “bits outside”. The va**na is what a baby travels through to be born.

You do not want to upset the natural bacteria present in the v***a and va**na. Soap & femwashes upset the natural balance and this can cause itching and thrush.

Cotton underwear will allow the v***a to breath.

Dark coloured underwear has dyes that can irritate the skin.

The majority of women produce discharge. It is the way the va**na cleans itself. Vaginal discharge is normal. Do not use femwashes to prevent discharge - it will cause more problems. However, there are times when discharge is a sign something is wrong. Swipe to find out when to worry.

Let me know if you want more about the conditions listed

All fertility units have different guidelines for treating infertility.

Generally speaking, they try to fix the obvious problem first. If a woman is not ovulating they would give her drugs to induce ovulation.
If a man is not ej*******ng semen they will retrieve the semen.
If there is a tube problem surgery may be recommended.
If there are problems with womb surgery may be recommended.

IntraUterine Insemination is when prepared semen is inserted in a woman’s womb. Often the woman is given drugs to encourage her ovaries to produce eggs.

IVF is InvitroFertilisation where the woman is given drugs to encourage her ovaries to produce eggs. The eggs are removed from the ovaries through the va**na. The eggs are mixed with prepared semen. Hopefully fertilisation will occur. The pregnancy is transferred to the womb. After two weeks the woman can know whether she is pregnant or not

Before any treatment can be started you BOTH need investigations. For a man, it is a semen analysis. Your treatment unit will tell how to provide it. If there are any issues with this, it may be repeated. The man may need blood tests/scans if there are issues with the semen.

For women, all treatment units would do blood tests - but some will do extra blood tests if they feel it Is necessary. The AMH may not be available everywhere.

A cervical smear/pap is often done if it is due or you have not had one before.

A scan is a 100% safe. It can be a little uncomfortable but should not hurt. It would have to be through the va**na.

A test of the tubes is then considered. Your doctor will decide if it it a HSG or a laparascopy. A HSG is when dye is inserted into your womb. The dye can be seen on a X-ray as the dye should go into your tube and spill out. A laparoscopy is an operation where the doctor puts a camera inside your abdomen.

Before you start trying for a baby.

This is before you stop contraception.

Two of you are needed to make a baby therefore both of you should make changes.

If either one of you have a medical condition, such as diabetes or epilepsy or any other long term condition, you must consult your doctor. There may be certain drugs that may need to be changed. You may need a higher dose of folic acid.

You both need to be of a normal weight. It is important that if either one of you is on body building steroids - you stop them. Also alcohol and smoking is to be avoided.

Men have to make sure that the temperature of their te**es does not increase. They should not wear tight underwear or have their laptops on their lap. Long cycle rides are also advised to be avoided.

Women need to have folic acid and vitamin D. You can obtain these from your pharmacy. It is best if these are taken for 3 months.
