#Endometriosis Awareness Week - 1 - 7 March, 2021 Every March Endometriosis Month takes place across the world, with the aim of increasing awareness and highlighting the symptoms of this debilitating condition that affects an estimated 176 million women worldwide. Endometriosis can have a devastating effect on the quality of life of sufferers of this condition due to the painful symptoms that the disease carries and the fact that it is the biggest cause of infertility in women. Although this is a condition that affects 1 in 10 women, the average diagnosis can take up to 7 and a half years, and with this unacceptably long diagnosis time, the main focus is to raise awareness of the symptoms of Endometriosis with the goal being more women receiving diagnosis and treatment earlier. #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth #WomensHealth #Endometriosis2021 #2021EndometriosisMonth #Women #Wellness #EndometriosisAwarenessWeek Ref: https://www.endofound.org ___________________________________________ #SickleCellDiseaseAwarenessGhana is a nonprofit project which educates on #SickleCellDisease (#SCD) and focuses on the need for support for treatment in #Ghana. #SickleCell is an inherited condition that currently affects many lives worldwide. #SCDAwarenessGhana  #BecauseItMatters ❗ ___________________________________________ A #CharisJadlen #SocialImpact Project (#SIProject), a #ThinkMahoganyCSR . #SickleCellAnemia #ILoveSomeoneWithSCD  #SDG3 #HealthAndWellbeing https://www.instagram.com/p/CMGMoYOjm0M/?igshid=1xgkr23qy4sdy

#Repost @themightysite (@get_repost) ・・・ It's Endometriosis Awareness Month, and in the words of @lifeabove_endo, "Let’s make some noise!" 📣 A huge shoutout to all of our endo warriors out there who push through the symptoms on a daily basis. For those of you who haven't been diagnosed yet or are struggling to get a diagnosis — we see you, and you're not alone. 💜 ••• "An older woman reached out to me this week on behalf of someone she knows dearly who possibly has endo. She shared that in researching the disease, she learned so much she didn’t know. She also said, 'It seems like not much has changed since my mother went through this decades ago, why is that?' ••• The sad truth is that she’s right. Not much has changed. There are so many answers to that question, I barely knew where to start. It still takes embarrassingly long to get a diagnosis, women are still dismissed when they speak about their pain, the same sorry/ineffective treatments are still being thrown at us. If this doesn’t anger you, it should. But getting angry isn’t enough. Action is what will bring change. Relentlessly speaking up is what will bring change. NOT BACKING DOWN is what will bring change. We have to make them listen. 1 in 10 women/girls/persons. 176 million worldwide. 10 year delay in diagnosis. Enough is enough. It's the start of Endometriosis Awareness Month, let’s make some noise." ••• #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endowarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisawarenessweek #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior #adenomyosis #ibs #hysterectomy #spoonie #spooniecommunity #advocate #womenshealth #1in10 #themightysite #mightytogether https://www.instagram.com/p/BumK67_Blsp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sjvtcgqrpwxm

One of the major issues concerning endometriosis is that it takes an average of 7.5 years for a woman to receive diagnosis, despite actively seeking medical advice from doctors and that is unacceptable. It unfortunately took 7 years for myself to be diagnosed; many doctors would refuse to refer me to have scans and tests, telling me that “it’s just period pain”. As a result of this neglect, I was found to have severe endometriosis with my organs sticking together, resulting in further pain and symptoms that were present far beyond menstruation. I finally underwent a surgery at 20, and whilst I thought I was on my way to live a more ‘normal’ life, my chronic pain was back with a vengeance very soon after I recovered from surgery. This has also had an impact on my mental health, studies, and work; more recently being forced to leave a new job, and struggling to find a job ever since. 

  I want to talk about the discrimination that I experienced at the workplace which undoubtedly frustrated me to no end…it shouldn’t be this way. The way it made me feel after years of doctors, teachers and peers telling me I look fine, or that I’m just weak…there’s no excuse. I even had my accomplishments questioned by a doctor who received my CV for a job vacancy - “you’re achieving A’s, so how bad is it?” - curiosity, I suppose, but it sounded more like suspicion and I could not understand it... 

...There was a determination and zest in me during my teenage years. I missed a lot of school, and nobody could understand why, but I loved learning and I made sure to catch up and attempt to do some extra work from my bed. I worked hard. This is why I achieved A’s. I didn’t achieve my grades easily. I wish I could have answered in this way - instead, I was speechless, and I walked out of the office, losing that determination and zest I once had. And these qualities were tested and beaten away through my time in employment with each bit of ignorance causing me to lose hope in my future success. 

  “You look fine to me”…I wish I could have answered that I have good days and bad days, and you wouldn’t recognise me on my bad days. Today might be a good day. Or I might hide in the ladies’ crouched and crying for a while and when I’m back out, I’ll look fine to you. 

“Aren’t you taking your painkillers?”…I wish I could have answered that my painkillers do not magically and completely rid me of pain. I am doing everything I can to manage my symptoms.

“But you had surgery, you’re treated?”…I wish I could have answered that there is currently no cure for endometriosis; I have had one operation, and I have recently been told that I will need another. It’s a long-term and chronic illness for many of us. 

  “You’re just looking for sympathy, there’s nothing wrong with you”…I wish I could have answered that there’s more to people than meets the eye. Be more open and sensitive. This was said to me by a former colleague who found out that I was leaving my job due to health reasons; yes, I’m leaving my job because sympathy pays my bills. 

“Are you sure you’re not just starting your period?”…I wish I could have answered that this pain that I am feeling is not unusual for me to feel outside of my period. I can be surprised with it at any time, any day, without warning, or sometimes be stuck with it consistently for days. I will know if I am starting my period, and I sure hope I’m not seeing as part of my treatment is that my periods have been paused. 

Well that was cathartic. 

  I cannot stress enough how important it is that we continue to raise awareness about endometriosis - according to Endometriosis-UK, around 1.5 million women in the UK are currently living with the condition, therefore there is no reason why people should not be educated about it and learn ways in which they can support those affected. Due to personal experience, I’m especially concerned with the number of teachers and employers who either have no knowledge about endometriosis or hold the belief that it affects every woman in the same way. I’m also appalled by the number of doctors I have encountered that have a very narrow-minded approach to the condition. I want to see this change. Let’s break the taboo surrounding womens’ health that still exists today. Let’s talk, share, be open and persistent. Thank you for reading!

Endometriosis can be a difficult condition to deal with, both physically and emotionally. As well as support from your doctor, you may find it helpful to contact a support group, such as Endometriosis UK, for information and advice.

Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside the uterus. Endometriosis most commonly involves your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis.

This Endometriosis Awareness Month, let's educate ourselves about this disease and defeat it!!!

For this last day of #endometriosisawarenessweek, my lover and me wanted to participate at #1in10. Because we are #1in10. I'm the one has the disease but he is the one who supports me every day. In pain and in joy. Yes, for the 1st time of my life my belly isn't swollen by endometriosis inflammations. My belly is swollen because I'm pregnant. Because we won this battle against illness. Against the medical advice that told us we would never have children without IVF. But it happened ! We spent time, energy and also a lot of money but who cares ? We did it ! We realized our wish. The endometriosis isn't behind unlike medical discourse. But that is enough to make you want to pursue a medical path you do according to your choices by always seeking to better know your body and your disease. #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #pregnancy #IVF #endogirl

Endometriosis Week: Know the signs and symptoms

5 March 2018 

- 1 in 10 women of reproductive age in the UK suffer from endometriosis - that’s approximately 1.5 million women. This figure is comparable to the number of women living with diabetes in the UK. - It is thought 176 million women worldwide are living with the condition. - Endometriosis costs the UK approximately £8.2 billion a year in treatment, loss of earnings and healthcare. - It takes on average 7.5 years for a woman to receive the diagnosis of endometriosis

This week is Endometriosis Week, which aims to raise awareness about this hidden and often unrecognised condition.

Endometriosis is a condition where cells like the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body. Each month these cells react in the same way to those in the womb, building up and then breaking down and bleeding. Unlike the cells in the womb that leave the body as a period, this blood has no way to escape.

 It is a chronic and debilitating condition that causes painful and/or heavy periods. It may also lead to infertility, fatigue and bowel and bladder problems. Endometriosis can have a detrimental impact on a woman’s quality of life, having repercussions not only with their health but with education, work and personal relationships. 

If there was one piece of information we could open the door on, it would be to find out what the cause of endometriosis is. This information would serve to inform research into means of treating the condition. Although there are different theories about the cause of endometriosis, there is not a known definitive cause. There is currently no cure for the condition and diagnosis and treatment can be complex. The ‘gold standard’ for diagnosing endometriosis is by laparoscopic surgery. It takes on average 7.5 years for a woman to receive the diagnosis of endometriosis. Women are often told that the pain they are experiencing is ‘normal’ or ‘all in your head’. This can cause psychological distress for women as they continue to experience debilitating symptoms with no answers to the cause.

Alice’s experience “I first experienced severe gynaecological pain when I was only 12, before I’d even started my periods. This crippling pain continued to visit me every month for a whole year until I eventually started my periods. Once I started my periods, the pain got even worse. It reached the point where I experienced it every day of the month and was rushed into A&E twice monthly (once during my period and once during ovulation) and would often be given morphine as pain relief. I kept being told it was ‘normal teenage cramps’. I also lost a lot of blood, easily using up to 12 tampons and pads an hour. Due to the amount of blood lost, I became anaemic and suffered from chronic fatigue.

“I was 14 and my quality of life was non-existent; I could no longer go to school because of the pain, chronic fatigue, and being in and out of hospital all the time. I finally had a laparoscopy in 2010 and was diagnosed with endometriosis. I cried with happiness when I was diagnosed with endometriosis because it meant my symptoms were no longer 'phantom' pains but actually a real condition!  

“At times having endometriosis has been isolating, debilitating and restrictive: I have never known adult life without it. I know I wake up in pain most nights but whether I like it or not, my endometriosis inadvertently shapes my life and who I am.”

You can get support and speak with other people who also have endometriosis from across the world in the Endometriosis UK HealthUnlocked community.
