[pokiepoppie]

Idk where it is but I made a post about period cramps and cuphead. I was astroprojecting them into him cause I was reading myth and I thought he was a little shit.

Graphic warning? 👇 Just uterus issues

Im bout to make a pt.2 cause I just had an ovarian cyst burst and I'm in so much pain rn. I've been on my period for like 3 weeks now. (I have it under control and Ive been to the doctor but it still sucks) Doctors dismiss shit is kinda annoying.

Alright, this is new information to me but I wanted you all to know that period pain isn't supposed to be crippling

It's not really even supposed to be noticeable, the idea that it is came from male doctors, who only saw the worst cases, talking over women because they thought periods should be debilitating

So if your period is really bad, it is usually because of an underlying condition and you should definitely go to a doctor to get it checked out

They might not know much about what makes it so painful because the health of the "other" half of the human population is massively under researched, especially gynaecology, but they can at least give you pain meds stronger than you can get over the counter, mefenamic acid and co-codamol where the ones I was prescribed

I would also recommend looking into hormonal contraceptives because they can help with periods, especially the pill because that is well-known to be effective, you can still go for things like implants, injections and IUD but those have a 1 in 3 chance of making it worse so you know, pros and cons

But here's a link to look into it yourself and I would also recommend going to a sexual health clinics as they are the ones who actually know about this sorta stuff

I'm selling my uterus for one (1) Dorito chip. It doesn't even have to be a full chip, I'll take the crumbs

My body: *remains barren and childless for another month*

My body: this is so sad uterus, play the kill bill siren

Things have been going on and I've been neglecting updating. Allow me to remedy that...

Cut for length as well as talk of medical procedures

I think I mentioned it before, but I've been having uterine issues. I won't go into detail, just trust me when I say it was gnarly.

On the 20th of this last month, I had a hysterescopy with a diletation and curetage. Basically, my doctor put a camera up inside me to get a good look at my uterus and to take tissue samples. This was done to make sure there was no cancer and there was nothing too out of the ordinary.

Last week I met with my doctor and we discussed her findings. No cancer, thank goodness, but several fibroids and polyps, and endometrial tissue that was "chunkier than normal". In her professional opinion, a hysterectomy is advised. And because the fibroids and polyps have enlarged my uterus, I'm not a candidate for endoscopic removal. Mine will be done through a small incision just above the pubic bone.

So that's the next step. I'm waiting to hear from the hospital to schedule the surgery. It'll be 1-2 days in the hospital, then 6 weeks recovery at home.

Am I nervous? Yeah, not going to lie. Am I excited to no longer have this issue? Even more so.

Got an appointment for an OBGYN

End of May.

I’m hoping I still have health insurance by then. That is AGES away in healthcare time FFS. 🤦🏼‍♀️ I know it isn’t an emergency (and I am obviously not pregnant), but ugh. I don’t even know my schedule for the end of May. I know I’ll be in clinicals.

Blah.
