My friend had endo and she had a surgery to separate the lesions from her intestines, went on the anti inflammatory diet too, along with, destressing, healing crystals, possitive thoughts by her and her loved ones, and when she stopped "trying" to get pregnant and just had fun with her partner, she was able to bring a miracle baby into the world! 🙂 The diet also helped reduce pain from her rheumatoid arthritis. Honestly, I think every woman can benefit from that diet, I think it would help to regulate cycles and reduce PMS symptoms, especially when you combine it with reducing stress

It's medically founded. Let me know what you think if you do happen to read it!

My GP who recently retired was a real champion for me when I had an accident and had unexplained severe wrist pain. Some doctors and surgeons told me it was growing pains as I was 17. I ended up crying on the phone to my GP outside of a hospital after a surgeon told me that. My GP promised to keep referring me to different people until we got an answer. Well I ended up being referred for treatment to a surgeon who immediately realised this was a big problem and he booked me an appointment in a clinic with a specialist hand surgeon who diagnosed me by shaking my hand. He knew instantly what my injury was. Sadly I had lots of surgeries but couldn't be fixed but the point is I kept on and on until I had a diagnosis. If you know something is not right with your body you keep telling them until they find that one person who can tell you what is wrong and why it is hurting. Sometimes doctors say these flippant things like it's psychological to cover up the fact they don't know what is wrong or it is out of their area of expertise. I hope you get your answer soon and that there is something they can do. xx

Hopefully all goes well with you! Some doctors r so stupid. With my old GP, anything that my family or I came to her with was always met with "it's probably just a cold" or "if it persists, come back and see me" (I already let it persist for 3 months before seeing her so I wasn't about to do that). So we stopped going to her and went to walk-in clinics or googled things instead and found out that "just colds" were strep throat and the persistent inflammation was polycystic breast disease (super common, yet she had no idea) caused by hormonal imbalance. You definitely need a new GP if you can find one

I can identify a little with this. I have polycystic ovaries, apparently it is common with bipolars so my psychiatrist requested I had the internal scan when I was in my early 20s. I’m not sure if it's the medicine that causes the polycystic ovaries as a different doctor once commented about a drug that I was on not being good for pre-menopausal women because it can cause PCOS. Anyway my GP thought it was a bit odd but agreed to do the scan and to his surprise I had "a bunch of grapes either side" his exact words. I’m on powerful medication for pain because of a very severe injury to my right wrist that has necessitated 7 surgeries. Anyway I assume this is why when a cyst bursts I don't end up in hospital as I see some people do. It is agony though for 24 - 36 hours, my GP says that is because it is roughly how long it takes for the fluid to be re-absorbed and the fluid really irritates until the body has mopped it up. It's annoying because you have no warning of when it will happen, the last one burst just over a week ago, you know exactly what it is because there isn't another pain like it and it is so low down as well. It also caused fertility problems, weight problems. It's just a general nightmare. As for vaginal steaming when Goop published an article on it doctors in the UK, male and female, were asked to comment and they were all really anti so I thought it was a bad thing. I think maybe because Goop focused on it as cleansing and the vagina is self cleansing. They said it could upset the natural bacteria in the vagina and cause problems. So I thought I was against it, but the way you describe it makes sense. You're using the herbs and warmth to help a muscle relax and we do that to the rest of our body if we're injured. I’m going to read up on this more, as you obviously haven't come to any harm as suggested by the doctors over here. Today I am off to the bank to change my surname back to the one I use here which is my maiden name. After an awful divorce which my ex has dragged out for an eternity by disappearing (I couldn't sell the marital home, had to let it be repossessed and ended up homeless last year) I feel the need to reclaim myself as a woman with my own birth name, not someone else's.

Nettle infusions helps me so much with my periods. It has a lot of iron and helps to deal with the blood lost and pain. It doesn't work for everyone sadly tought.

Caution this is TMI as well 😀 I also suspect having this condition as I have the worst pain during the first two days of my period. I need to take pain killers in time or otherwise I will puke and won't be able to keep anything down. But for me going to the toilet actually helps with the pain for some reason and taking baths helps as well. I can't sit or stand straight and need to be in fetus position the whole time. I have never met anyone who has such horrible periods as I do so this video was really helpful! I am going to try out the steaming but I also have a doctors appointment soon. Although I have had those symptoms for more than ten years and nothing has ever helped or was diagnosed... are there any other tips? I hate taking medication and never ever do it besides from that.

I definitely recommend talking to you doctor about it and do your own research so you can make an informed decision! I used to just take pain meds too but I'm glad I've found other things that work for me

Menstrual cup is one of the cause of endometriosis. I just got diagnosed and I read some research where they say that the blood collected in the cup can move up and cause retrogate menstruation which in turn causes endometriosis.Though you're immune system should take care of the spiled blood but for some reason sometimes it doesnt and it ends up in endometriosis. I've been using menstrual cup for past 1.5 years only. Before that I Never had a an issue with my pelvic floor ever. You might want to reconsider the menstrual cup option.

Have you ever tried Vitex (chaste berry)? It's a great natural supplement for women.

It’s helps with regulating women’s hormones. Not sure if it’s a method for Endo but, a friend of mine has it and it’s helped her with the cramps and I don’t have endo and it’s helped me with heavy periods and period pain.

i also us CBD oil. a bought one for external use and i massage it into the skin around my vulva and at my back and wherever i need it. does wonders. yoni-steam is also very good for normal cramps. i teach womens workshops where we work with our bodies and sexuality and we also teach how to do yoni-steams. the women love it. i'm totally on your team with giving your body some love this way. everything you say can be used with "normal" cramps as well. i do this since years and my period not only is shorter it's also whay more comfortable. i wonder have you ever tried free-bleeding? love from switzerland

woke up with terrible cramping and this was on my homepage when i came to youtube for some distraction! this was much better than distraction, this was helpful. I am excited to learn more about this, and really appreciate you sharing. i understand this is all just your experience and you are clear that you want other people to research for themselves, just maybe the next time you find yourself speaking for experiences of others with cramping/uterine issues, consider opening that up to people who don't identify as women but who have those issues too. i don't consider myself a woman but am dealing with these same issues! so while it is really nice to see this being spoken about it does suck/is kind of surprising to find on your channel a conversation with language that is ultimately really exclusive. i love this channel and don't think your intention is to alienate your audience, so just wanted to say something.
@JanellKristina5 жыл бұрын
I owe you and anyone in this position an apology sorry. My intention was not to be exclusive at all. If anything the wording reflects my own struggle to find and embrace femininity and by female bits in a way that feels authentic to me and not always in a traditional way society expects. Sorry again

Hi, I was recently diagnose with Endometriosis. I kept getting the pain for years, it's so excruciating, thought was appendicitis or something else. Difficulty passing water and doing the mumber 2, I feel cork like I can't even pass gas, menstruation cramps 😢😢😢sometimes vomiting and nausea also it feels like my bones and joints are on fire sometimes. After doing numerous ultrasounds and still nothing was seen....I saw my Gynecologist then she confirmed it. I am not sure what I can eat Like oats, corn flour etc. It's really frightening !!!!

I think where pregnancy comes into it is because you have less periods, so you don’t have a period for 9 months, therefore it could delay endo symptoms, for me when I was on the pill I believe it suppressed my endo, and now I have been off it for three years when was I started to have more trouble, that being said I do not personally recommend the pill for solving any problems, it always seems like a bandaid solution rather then healing root causes. Also have you trialled thc or cbd oil, I have been experimenting with both, I’m keen to see if there is improvement, both helps with inflammation, and the thc I’m keen to try as a pain reliever
