“frankenstein,” a poem about women’s suffering

normalized in medicine, glorified in pornography, justified in religion. since we birth people, does this mean we birthed the society that causes and trivializes our agony?

nothing is quite as frustrating as having problems with your ovaries and uterus when you know you don’t want kids. like you want me to have to keep getting surgery’s on this part of my body i’m never gonna use. put me out of my misery.

I am honestly terrified that my ovarian cyst will explode again if I do anything. Prayers would be nice.

Okay, so having an ovarian cyst burst is still painful even if it’s a small one. (I’ve had a cyst burst before, ranking as some of the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life.) A small one still hurts like a bitch and will render me unable to walk. I feel like such a whumpee, just writhing around in bed, moaning and everything. Ugh. I like fictional whump, universe!!!

When I was in middle school I started getting random sharp pains in my right side, it wasn’t so bad at first, the pain was sharp but it didn’t hurt too badly and it only lasted for a couple seconds at first, I told my parents but since it wasn’t on my left side they said they was no reason for us to take me to the doctor. The pains didn’t go away though, the pains got sharper and started lasting longer, in the next few months they started lasting multiple minutes at a time of pain that started in my sides and left me unable to move in certain cases.

I tried to tell my parents, I was terrified that something was wrong, I didn’t know what was happening and it was terrifying, I wondered more than once if whatever it was got bad enough if it could be fatal, I started wondering how many people would comfort my parents and tell them there’s no way they could have known cause after all no one would know that I’d begged to get it looked at.

The pains only got worse for a while after that, until one day in Ag when I went to raise my hand sharp pains when through my body so strong that I couldn’t move, it hurt worse than anything I’d ever felt before, it hurt worse than getting a concussion and worse than being ran over, I couldn’t even move my arm that froze midway up, the pain was going out in waves from my abdomen and I couldn’t move, I couldn’t cry, the teacher didn’t notice that my hand was halfway up and I couldn’t even move. It stayed like that for about fifteen minutes before the pain left suddenly like it was never there. I tried again to tell my parents but they still didn’t believe me.

It happened again in the same class a couple of weeks later, that time a few minutes longer, again it felt like someone had doused every nerve in my body with gasoline and set them on fire, but eventually it stopped as soon as it came, again I told my parents and again they thought I was making it up.

Around a month later the school had a pep rally, it was loud and the sets were uncomfortable but it wasn’t the worst, that’s when it happened again accept that time it didn’t stop after around fifteen minutes, it hurt as bad as the past two times combined, that’s when I can honestly say that for the first time in the life I felt sure I was going to die, I accepted it relatively quickly, I wondered how people would react, I wondered if my parents would wish they’d believed me, I wondered what it actually was that was causing me so much pain, I can honestly say that I didn’t expect to still be conscious at the end of the pep rally. I stayed like that for about little over an hour, the pep rally was about to be over when the pain started to fade, slowly unlike the other times and it hurt to walk when the pep rally ended but eventually the pain went away again, I went to the bathroom and cried once I could walk well enough again, I never wanted to feel like that again.

After that the pains started to happen less and not as strongly, they still happened for a few more months but never as bad as before, my parents never did take me to the doctor for it though and for years I was terrified of it coming back, I had to pull over when I was driving on more than one occasion because I felt a sharp pain that caused me to panic and start crying hard enough that It inhibited my driving ability.

It wasn’t until around a year ago while I was out from college that a doctor finally told me that it sounded like I’d most likely had ovarian cysts that had eventually ruptured, but he couldn’t be sure since it happened years ago.

For years I’ve been afraid of it coming back, my mom said that I needed to get over it because it happened years ago (8 years ago now) but it still scares me. Then two months ago it happened, I started getting sharp pains in my chest, at first they were small but they’ve started to last longer, the last time lasting several minutes with my chest staying sore for the rest of the day. In the beginning I was too afraid of my parents getting mad at me if it turned out to be nothing, but it’s starting to really scare me.

That’s why I finally did it, I booked a doctor’s appointment for myself tomorrow. I’m terrified about how it’s gonna go but I finally did it, I’m so scared that it’s gonna be just like last time and my brain is convinced that it’s come back to finish what it started and kill me, I’m terrified of what I’m going to find out at the doctor tomorrow but I’m finally going, my parents tried to convince me not to go but I want to know this time, maybe this time someone will believe me.

[theoriginalivyannazimuth]

Doctor was like "Hey this is PCOS" like 3 months after I had a cyst burst lmao. I am still salty but damn this would make a great spell.

[harbingerofsoup]

shoutout to the doctor who told me i was lucky the ovarian cyst i was diagnosed with is only 3cm because people typically don’t experience symptoms when they’re that size as if i wasn’t there specifically due to the extreme pain i was in

Updated ultrasound 🥲 Follow-up next week so they can decide surgery approach.

Guys I'm deeply worried about having another cyst and it rupturing when I'm at school or work or gods forbid when I'm driving... does the body have like a reset time or something? I had one for the first time at the beginning of the month but I'm having slight pains again in the Same Area as before and idk if I'm overthinking because it was So recent or if I actually have another cyst on the same side of my ovaries so soon after the first one

[zombiefishmonster]

Endomitriosis can affect the pelvic muscles resulting in painful bowel movements and painful intercourse.
