Cheers for this, I've been looking for "causes of cervical pain during intercourse" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Siyrooklynd Eminent Secret - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to end your fibroids problem minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
I think doctors have a bias towards believing women when they say they’re in pain. People in general tend to think women are just emotional and/or wusses. So they usually just think we’re exaggerating when we tell them our symptoms.
Especially black women. It's been proven time and time again that health "professionals" often dismiss our claims. Supposedly we have super strength and higher pain tolerance than other women and should just deal with it.
@@Justnoone21 Don't blame yourself you were just a child. We know our bodies the best and if one doctor tells you no... keep fighting for your health until somebody is willing to listen and do something about it.
BR I This made me cry because this is me. I’ve fainted during periods and the doctors says “drink coffee and the pain will stop”. Then like two weeks before my period I’m getting sharp pains in my back and hooha. I’m like I’m tired of taking things just tell me what this is so I can fix it.
@@Justnoone21 i found a cure for mine. Got a CBD company to test their product on me and it worked. I'm doing a video on the company soon and will share it with the world.
My endometriosis went undiagnosed for about 4 or 5 years it end up developing into stage 3 cancer I had to have a full hysterectomy at the age of 28 with no children It was hard but it was my new reality.
Omg im so very sorry. I hope you are able to find peace. I dont have endometriosis but i am 40 with no children and 3 failed IVF cycles; so i know your pain of the reality that we will never have biological children. God bless you.
I am a 27 year old woman who was just diagnosed for endometriosis 1 week ago by a male obgyn. My 2 female gynecologist disregarded my symptoms, my awful pain, my nausea, diarrhea with periods. He told me: you deserve the help you’ve been looking for for 2 years. It brought me hope and relief and hearing this woman talk, brought me to tears, thank you for sharing your story
Have y’all tried herbs? It works 💯, ever since I got herbs from this doctor to cure Endometriosis and my fibromyalgia is perfectly managed 100%, almost all the symptoms are gone and I don’t feel any pain anymore as I used to. I feel very free and normal again. I practically contact him for every single illness or symptoms and his herbs works all the time. He is open to WhatsApp on this +44 7441 443148
I got my diagnosis by a male gynecologist all the female ones were fobbing me off all those 15 years!!! Of having 3 week periods they accused me of lying!! They even said that my ovaries were being overworked due to stress!!! 😱😱😱😱 When it was not
This video literally brought me to tears. I’m only 21 and still trying to find a doctor to take my pain serious. I’m in the ER every month and it’s been going on for years
same here but they ended up putting me on pain meds and because I didnt take them like they wanted me to they kicked me off cold turkey and I got really sick and still am getting sick because I still deal with the endometriosis til this day smh... it's sad because the doctors really don't care about the people only the paycheck.
It's because they don't care. It makes no sense for gynecologists to be so careless. That is your one job. And if you are a black woman, it is worse. They care less.
Yes. I tried taking birth control last yr for 4 months and i didnt know as much as i would have thought i was supposed to b told. The dr pretty much brushed off my concerns of break through bleeding. Like i felt as though i was lost. I just decided to lean myself off and probably nvr get it again.
As someone with endometriosis and ovarian cysts, I totally understand the pain. The first time I experienced the pain I thought I was dying, I was in so much pain to the point where I couldn't even walk.
I used to vomit and pass out with the pain and after 4 surgeries I still ended up infertile, but now the mother of a beautiful daughter after adopting. Endometriosis was never heard of here in Ireland so I got on the web and discovered myself what the problem was.
@Mary Smith James 2 of my sisters had bad cramps n after giving birth dats it. Besides when my sis found out that she rid her pain after her 1st child, she told a lady fren about it n the lady got pregnant n dat was it for her pain. The lady i told u had it so bad, she would ave to get injection every month, as pills wasn't helping her... I mean that's what i ave experienced with my sisters n the lady, so i can't say it is going to work for others. Whenever i get pregnant then i will know for a fact...
+@Mary Smith James It didn't for me, am a 26-year-old wife and mom of 3 and just this week this demon took a hold of me. I honestly thought it was going to be my last day on earth.😭 I suffered so bad i couldn't walk, my mouth started watering then i threw up, i don't wish this on anyone!
Her saying living with the pain made her not want to live.... I feel this i was crying in the shower in horrible pain this morning asking why me what did I do to deserve this 😭
It took me 13 years to get my endometriosis diagnosis. When you're in pain for so long with no one listening to you, it's a relief when someone actually hears you.
I'm only 17, about to turn 18, and I've been experiencing all the symptoms since I was around 12. Doctors won't listen, saying it's a bad period. I want kids when I'm older. But this pain, it's just not worth it. It breaks me every month. Knowing I'm going through this for almost no point.
Keep trying, that’s all you can do I’m also 17 (turning 18 next year) and I also have debilitating period pain. I hope you get through to a great helpful doctor soon!
Same as you. I am 18 years old at the moment with terrible symptoms. Extremely painful cramps, and I honestly agree that it's not worth it. But I do not want to regret it later on in life so I'm just sittin there takin the pain with no doctors taking the condition seriously.
I have a friend who suffers from this and though she explained it to me I felt the need to search around for more information and get a further understanding of it. I wish you women who experience this didn't go through this painful discomfort.
@@michellediaz2218 😔 I understand how it's severely painful and how crippling it makes you feel. I pray that you'll find what it is that will work for you in either eliminating or relieving this infirmity.
You are an amazing friend... i have endometriosis and the pain feels worse then active labor, i would definitely choose birthing my children again over having endometriosis that's for sure. Endometriosis can be very debilitating and disrupt your life, and sleep.
I suffered. Then I was told that cows get endometriosis too. Farmers gave them selenium supplements. I started taking it along with vitamin c and vitamin e. I then discovered that Brazil nuts are a fantastic source if selenium. I ate few daily with an orange. It helped me greatly. I hope this helps someone. Don't give up. God has the healing power.
Cows get endometriosis because of the food they eat which is soy based. Soy increases a hormonal reaction in the body that causes severe tissue growth especially the reproductive system. Virtually all the food products we eat today have soy which which increases the hormone estrogen. An over abundance of this hormone causes endometriosis and eventually STERILITY.
At age 25 I was diagnosed with endometriosis and told I might never have kids. Long story short. My husband and I prayed and here I am with two beautiful children. I still get a lot of pain every month but yes, God is a healer. Never give up.
hurdlesharon8187 most women with the standard American diet are not eating large sources of soy. I am vegan now and soy does not cause me any type of menstrual issues. Dairy is a cocktail of hormones and it causes lumps, cysts and a host of hormonal issues in women. There’s a difference between a cow eating soy when it should eat grass, and a human eating soy.
In my experience, I find that sometimes having a male obgyn can be better because they will run a battery of tests to find out where the symptoms are coming from. They ask more questions and try to get more information because although they study women's bodies they have no predisposition about what a woman is going through. Women obgyn's sometimes dismiss things because they are women themselves and think they know what's going on. You have to really push women for more diagnostics.
@@bricbrac28 wow! I'm so glad you were able to get that 2nd opinion and have that taken care of. When I first got pregnant, my friend gave me that advice and she was right. I have the best obgyn he's funny, personable, runs tests and answers all questions.
@@kimberly11091 Well I'm sorry you had to go through that. My friends and I have had both male and female obgyn's and we stuck with the male. A lot of the female obgyn's said the exact thing your male obgyn said. At the end of the day, I hope you were healed of whatever ailed you.
My worst gyn was a man. He doesn't even have lady parts & he had the nerve to tell me endometriosis is "annoying" but not painful. He actually argued with me over my symptoms because he claimed women don't actually know what they're experiencing so he's just "correcting" us on what symptoms we're feeling 😠😠
Seriously started crying, and seriously still am. I have all the symptoms and have been in so much pain for the longest. I was scared to have the talk with my husband, but I think I'm ready now. I didn't want him to feel guilty, because it's not his fault it hurts so badly. I guess I forgot that it's not my fault either.
It's no one's fault. And ao sorry your going through this pain. Hopefully you can get it figured out so you can live a better quality of life. Prayers to you 🙏
Hey sorry You went through this hope you are doing well. What is ur advice for surgery, mine just put me on birth control and told me to take Advil 🤦♀️
I was just diagnosed this week with stage IV endometriosis after doing exploratory laparoscopy. I only saw OB/GYN specialist because I had infertility problems. If I didn't have surgery, I would have never known and I am a nurse also. Crazy! But so true!!
@@sirid2987 I've had excision surgery thank goodness from some good surgeons where i live. My symptoms are much better. Hopefully I can get pregnant soon and yes I've heard excision is the best way to get rid of endo.
Natalie, is the incision surgery something my own OB GYN doctor can do? I’ve recently just had a laparoscopy to diagnosis my issues and just found out I have stage 4 endometriosis and my doctor had to remove my right falloupian tube from how severely damaged it was due to endometriosis. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster.
Wow. No one knows the pain we go through. We are Endo Warriors. It took a year for me to be diagnose. I found me a new OBGYN and all I can say is I thank God for her. She gave me hope I’m now getting back to my regular life. I am a ENDO WARRIOR 🎗🎗💛💛
@@MonaDanna I used Jewel sanitary napkins, it reduced my cycle from 10 to 3 days and I have less cramps, if interested to try go to www.justicewithlakeisha.com You can also subcribe to my youtube channel as well For more information go to www.jfmj.org
I’m tired of being prescribed birth control for my symptoms. There has to be an easy solution through medication that could help us, and they just don’t care. Endometriosis is CHRONIC and dehabilitating, and the pain is unbelievable. It’s like our body wants to punish us and so does the rest of the world by not giving a crap.
I just got my diagnosis this week after a laparoscopy. I waited 15 years for this diagnosis, i am so relieved that my Pain Can be explained🙏🏼 i hope more doctors will listen and not dismiss!
I think that’s what I’m suffering from. Since my menstrual started at age 12 I get crucial pain, body over heats, and throwing up before period comes and during. 26 now and still dealing w. It
I am the same. I got my period at age 12, and i have been in awful pain. I throw up, my body over heat, back pain , can’t even do anything. I have been to emergency so many times but no doctors ever talked me about endometriosis,
At 48 years old I’ve been suffering over a decade. I knew something was wrong and this can’t be normal. I finally got a diagnosis. Now I’m going to solve the problem to live my absolute best life now. Thank you.
Black women if a dr denies you treatment then ask them to record it on your health records and then report them. Im sure they will do something about it then.
I will do that. Watch I get all of them fired. I don't care if I see them on the streets begging for change. If they see me and ask me for anything I will say "Sorry there is nothing I can do for you." Irony.
@@mbererm It happens more often to black women. That is not to take anything from your experience, but in every arena of care, black women are neglected and our mortality rates, particularly maternal mortality rates prove it.
Queen Dionne I’m not discrediting what you’re saying. However this is a video about endometriosis. She talks about the lack of knowledge there is about the condition within the medical industry. She herself, who has a medical background, was not aware of the illness up to her diagnosis. Her experience is my experience and the experience of many, many women who have the disease.
I have been suffering since middle school. I vomit and have diarrhea at the same time. I can’t eat food and cannot keep fluids down. I basically live in the bathroom and scream all day. It is very embarrassing because nobody understands what causes pain every month for me to scream. So I suffer in silence until I live with my boyfriend he is so shocked every month at my pain he even asked if he can drive me to the hospital. When I was in middle school I asked my doctor what can we do and all she said was she can prescribe me painkillers. I gave up since then but now I realize something really must be wrong because I still have not met anyone with this pain like me. I will try to see another doctor until I get taken seriously
Please don't give up! Don't just go to another doctor... Go to a OBGYN specialist in your area. Those are the doctors that have spent the time studying disorders.
Hi, @Christina Charles. This strong pain isn't "normal", but very "diffused" and a lot of girl suffer with it, but you don't have to be afraid, because you can do a lot to prevent and avoid your pain. I'm a nurse, from a lot of years I've been studying the severe menstrual pain and some methods to prevent it, first by means of an easy progressive thermal stimulation and after, if necessary, by a particular controle of your food. The cause of your pain must be studied, understanded and resolved. You can write to me by my email osv1950@gmail.com : we can speak better than here and I will send you an attachment (here not possible) of a first method, very glad to help you not to suffer unnecessarily next times.
20 years before my diagnosis, destroys lives, marriages, and careers, I was a Registered nurse for 20 years. Years of gp visits and consultants. Final surgery when discovered was attached to organs everywhere in abdomen. I am so glad there is more awareness of this disease now 🙏
Its funny how Jenneh is the one who suffered and had the disease but yet spoke the least. Lets start letting the patient speak more, its their body. The doctor can only speak from her text book and what she seen clinically but yet we have a patient who went through it. I think Jenneh should have been the one to speak on signs and symptoms, its HER diagnosis.
Trevor George yes they started first talking to the doctor when the patient is the one that is actually going through the pain, the doctors are not always right, smh, doctors practice medicine it’s not 100%
I am so sorry you have to go through this. I at this moment am in the process of being diagnosed with my chronic infections and the pain is unbearable. I hate how people expect us to live like this. It is utterly painful knowing that our lives could suffer longterm (infertility, loss of certain bodily functions etc) with these conditions. I am so angry at the world. You are not at all alone.
I’ve suffered with unbearable, heavy periods for years. I would have severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, even pain in my legs, no amount of pain killers would even make a dent in the pain, & I felt like people thought I was exaggerating the pain. I ended up severely anemic needing blood transfusions, iron infusions, left me having a hard time breathing, insomnia, irregular heartbeat, extreme fatigue. I would go through 3 large pads & 10-12 ultra Tampons in an hour, I asked a previous ob years ago if it could possibly be endometriosis, and was ignored. I finally caved & had a hysterectomy in December. Just found out yesterday from my ob’s Pa, that I had endometriosis all over my uterus & they also had to remove my tubes as it had spread to there. I’m so frustrated that this maybe could have been dealt with years ago. It’s sad to say but sometimes you have to be your own advocate.
I've been in excruciating pain for 3 years and today I just scheduled my laparoscopic surgery for endomerriosis. Its hard for doctors to listen to patients especially black women. I actually studied this condition for years and I kept telling my doctors this really could be it and they never looked into it. I actually had said it could be umbilical endometriosis which is rare and 2 days ago I had an MRI of the abdomen and pelvis and they found a 1.8cm nodule in the umbilicus area. Now we are scheduling a surgery to remove the noodle and check for endometriosis in the pelvis and umbilicus. I studied my symptoms and medical research over the 3 years and I am finally going to get confirmation that I was right. I'm so relieved.
Mind blown. It's a minor miracle that this doctor came out and admitted her medical training let her down! I take my hat off to her. She must be a very aware doctor. Now good on you!! My endometriosis was not diagnosed for years - 30 years later I am finally diagnosed. However, 20 years later there was some diagnostic inkling. This was a really good interview. Good on you for speaking out to the lady who suffers it. We all know how you feel!
I was able to mange my endo with diet and exercise! I was able to conceive a year later and now have a healthy 5 year old. I did research on what foods to stay away from and what to eat more of.
Yup! A lot of women don't realize that diet plays a critical part in the management of the disease. I too suffer from it. It took me years to figure it out and now I can't get a doctor to listen to me. I have been able to control my symptoms with a drastic change in diet however, until I can get a doctor to listen, I remain infertile at 40 with weight issues and no answers from anyone (although I work out religiously and eat like a bird) among other symptoms. In any event, I am glad to hear I am not alone in my struggles. Stay hopeful ladies but keep your diet plant based, low carb and eliminate estrogen rich foods and chemicals. It does help over time. God bless 😘
I included soy in my diet (non GMO) and flax seeds. I'm also vegan and eat quite clean but I can say that soy and flax seeds work best for me. I don't eat sugar or anything that can cause inflammation. Hope this can help someone. Wish I knew all this 20 years ago.
This brought on a lot of emotions I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo 2 years ago and have been struggling to get the help I need to get my life back. So thankful endo is getting more attention so us who suffer daily can get the care we need and deserve.
Just got diagnosed with endo after 6 years of searching for a doctor to help me and 13 years of heavy bleeding and pain. If I would have stopped at doctor #1 I would have died 6 years ago. If something feels wrong keep fighting , keep searching help is out there. ❤
This pain is unbearable I have suffering with this pain for over 6 years. Have been to many doctors and have not been given anything but birth control which i refuse to take.
@@AA-yk4dy it is really stupid that we are in 2021 and still there is no cure for an illness many women suffer from. It almost seems like world doesn't care about women at this point.
Oh yes they're on point I have this condition. Painful periods, bowel symptoms & infertility & all the others mentioned in this video. It makes you sick for a week or 2, literally you feel like you can't function daily & in alot of pain & discomfort sometimes. I did the surgery, injection treatment & birth control. As long as you have ovaries it comes back because the estrogen is to high.
Estrogen is high because of a high consumption of SOY virtually all foods are SOY based which increases estrogen in the body and is also a hormone disruptor which will eventually lead to fibroids, endometriosis and ultimately sterility
If you have excision surgery, endometriosis should not come back even with ovaries. You need a surgeon who is skilled specifically in excision. There aren’t many in the US and fewer world-wide. The Facebook group Nancy’s Nook has a list of surgeons committed to excision treatment and recurrence is less than 20% with these surgeons. I’ve had 12 surgeries total. My last being with Dr. Mosbrucker in WA state. I’d suffered for 25 years. Now I live pain free.
@@amyallen3269 thank you Amy I'll look into that & see how it goes. So your saying I don't have to remove my ovaries?? Which is good. Have a blessed day.
@@hurdlesharon8187 This is new to me I don't like soy but as you said alot of foods has soy in them, how sad. I do read ingredients so I'll check up on that & watch further more than I'm already doing what I'm eating. Thank you have a blessed day.
I am happy to finally see more coverage on this subject. I had extremely painful endometriosis that started at age 11. I begged doctors to give me a hysterectomy at 19 and no one would do it because I didn't have children. I tried to have children with my husband and in the end we were divorced bc I couldn't bare his children. I finally put up a go fund me at the age of 32 to just pay out right for my hysterectomy and I am so happy to say I am 80% pain free. I realize now that a hysterectomy isn't a cure since I still get reoccurring cysts that burst, however that beats what my life once was. I wish the best to anyone struggling with this awful pain. Just know you are not alone.💜
I have been diagnosed with endometriosis since I was 17. I suffered since I started my period at 13. With no diagnosis. But I've had 3 surgeries since then. And I'm still suffering. There's no cure for endometriosis. But thank God she has relief. Bc so many people just say go have the surgery AMD you'll be cured. But that's not always the case. God bless her so glad she's not in pain now. Hopefully it will last. 🌺
I’ve been in so much pain since having my first born almost 2 years ago. There are times while on my period where the pain is so severe I fall to the floor and want to vomit. Exact symptoms! Thank you so much for posting this video. I have not mentioned anything to my doctor bc I was scared they’ll just say I was being dramatic. Thank you for opening my eyes. 😢
My best friend just had the same thing happen. She got diagnosed with endometriosis yesterday after 4 years of pain and over 10 different doctors and multiple gynaecologists. She had surgery yesterday. I'm a nurse and know about endometriosis, and have always thought that that was the problem. They even removed her appendix a couple years ago thinking she had appendicitis. Had her on long term NSAID medications which is terrible for your stomach. She finally found a gynaecologist that helped her and put her on the list for surgery within 3 months. It's not just a racism problem it's the fact that people don't understand how debilitating endometriosis is. It's not just period pain, it's severe pain and it gets worse. My friend has been in severe pain everyday for the last 6 months. Plus all the other symptoms on top of that she has barely been able to get herself out of bed.
Hi, I'm diagnosed with ibs but not very convinced as I have been going to ER a few days before my period starts. Symptoms like vomiting and abdominal pain was really bad. I'm having symptoms such as nausea, brain fog, insomnia everyday for the past 2 months. One of my gut doctor said it could be long covid. I'm really hoping you can give me an insight of what's ur friend's daily symptoms (even when she dun have her period?)
Wow crazy my friend had this is the 1980s here in Portland Or. She was diagnosed and treated with orthosopic surgery way back then. What the heck? That's 35 years ago.
It took me 25 years to be taken seriously and diagnosed. You do start to feel hopeless. When she started crying, i did too. I had a black woman gyno. She downplayed my pain until i started bleeding from my rectum. Surgery happens(by a male surgeon). All my organs were fused together, i had thickscarring from previous c sections, adhesions had pulled my intestine to my belly button and..adhered. also found cysts and endosalpingiosis as a secondary diagnosis. I cried so hard. I wasnt imagining it ❤❤❤ also...shes absolutely gorgeous.
God Bless you Jenna I cried along with you..my cramps/chronic pain is so bad I definitely the if this is what my life is going to be then I dont want to live
Don't give up Lisa! There are so many women and support groups out there that want to help you. I have Stage IV Endometriosis, and I just learned the steps I need to take to find relief.
I truly am sorry for the people that have it. I’m only 12 years old, I don’t have endo but I do suffer from intense cramps myself! Cramps are no joke! I’m praying for people that have it!🥺
I have endometriosis, fibroids and one block tube due to the endometriosis i wasn't able to get pregnant.

I have always had painful periods and finally at 37 I ended up in the ER a few times. I have endometriosis and I bleed very heavy, vomit of the pain and roll up in a ball for 3 days every month. I can’t work, I can’t workout, I can’t even eat and the hospitals Doctor say they can’t prescribe me pain medication. I can not continue to live this way. This is a very real problem people. I’m glad that this young lady is being awareness to this horrible disease .
Currently laying in bed crying and in pain rn and trying not to throw up because of how painful this is, my lower stomach and lower back are most affected and it feels like I’m dying quite literally😭 Just trying not to pass out😖
14 years of pain and symptoms and I have finally found a doctor who listened... Because I'll be having a dual surgery to remove what is believed to be an endometrioma I'm waiting for a surgery date, but hearing "if that's what the rest of my life will be, I don't know if it's a life I want to live," I felt that...
Thank you for explaining how debilitating it is. It literally does make you want to take you’re own life it is a horrendous thing. It’s on par with cancer level pain apparently and it’s dismissed so easily. My husband doesn’t care he has no clue why it past few years whatever kicked it up a gear to 6 hospital stays surgery fatigue leaving work because inability to handle it just will not listen. So so frustrating.
10years here complained on all sorts of deaf hears was told this was my normal 😳😳 I had a 16day period and passed out at work😩🤦🏽♀️ finally found a doctor who was like this isn’t normal not for you or anyone. (I love her it’s like drowning and someone giving you their hand) 😢😢😢 got my diagnosis and doing several treatments and we’ll see where this goes 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Stage IV Endometriosis Mom Here! This interview is so powerful! For the ladies in the comments that think that there is no hope to living without pain, there is! If you doctor is not taking your pain seriously, find a specialist! Also, the right vitamins can truly relieve you of pain! I recently did a video sharing the ones I use. Just know you can fight this!!

I went through menopause a year ago. After decades of pain so severe I can’t describe it. It affected every aspects of my life. And never was treated because it’s just pain.
Thankfully for me I got referred to an infertility doctor for my pain around 18 years old. I told him my symptoms and flat out said you have endometriosis you need surgery. There is no way to confirm you have endo unless you have surgery so you are kind of hoping you have it, if that makes sense. He was the #1 doctor in the country for endo surgery, and was the head of team that did the first successful uterus transplant resulting in a live birth at the Cleveland Clinic. Amazing news for him, sad for me, he got chosen to be chief of staff at Londons first CCF. I will be eternally grateful to this man, I have had 4 other endo surgeries because it does grow back, but if he didn't listen to what I was saying God knows how horrible it would have gotten.
Endo is not a uterine disorder... it is an ectopic condition where tissue SIMILAR to the lining of the uterus is found outside of the uterus. Hope you can spread the correct information.
Mary Real if you are on Facebook join the group called Nancys Nook. Look up Dr Redwine here on RUclips and listen to his 1989 interview about endometriosis.
Mary Real hysterectomy is not a cure for endometriosis. It may help women with adenomyosis but if you have endometriosis (where lesions are located outside of the uterus) then it does not necessarily solve the issue of pain especially if the lesions have not been excised and have been left in by your surgeon.
Mary Real First off, understand that your ovaries produce the hormones that cause endometriosis lesions to flare up. A hysterectomy will not cure endometriosis but if the ovaries are removed, it will prevent you from having further flare ups and pain. My doctor performed a hysterectomy after my endo was found. While she was performing my procedure, she also removed all of the endometriosis lesions she saw. I no longer have endometriosis pain, although also no longer having ovaries caused a another host of problems. If I had it to do all over again, I would have sought a second opinion because having a hysterectomy at the age of 32 wasn’t the best decision, in my case.
It took 9 years for my diagnosis to be done & still on the journey, in Kenya many doctors, medical practitioners have no idea how to even deal with a patient.
I was just diagnosed with endo yesterday!! It all makes sense now as to why I have constant pain during and around my period! My dad used to say don’t be soo dramatic!!! I must of had it for years!!!! I defo don’t have it reallly badly cos I still maintain a pain free life but that could change! I don’t really have bad period pains like I did when I was younger! Maybe I have it milder than others!!!
The first time I learned about endometriosis I was in eighth grade age 12 and I’m 29 now... I’m shocked that it’s so many women aren’t learning about this
It took me so many doctors to get my diagnosis! When you all for tests and doctors decline ask them to note why they chose not to do the tests they usually end up doing it
Finally was able to convince a doctor I wanted to be sterilized at 40 (started asking at 16!), and while he was in there, turns out he removed moderate endometriosis! If doctors had taken me seriously in one of many ways (extreme period pain with some wild PMS in my 30s or that I knew I never wanted kids at 12 and wanted permanent sterilization), they could have not made me go through 30 years of pain that prevented me from living a normal life or planning normal activities. It was easier for them to give me a script for flexeril instead of asking what hurts and why. I had surgery 3.5 weeks ago and my period is even worse than usual, hoping it'll settle down in a few cycles. Best wishes for all the others out there that need help and hope y'all can find doctors that believe your pain and want to help instead of just extort you for money and tell you "that pain is normal, let me write you another script for it." I'm gonna go eat RSO and go to bed.
Every doctor I go to and tell them I have abnormally painful periods, I bleed like crazy, I have terrible back pain and would dread my period because I knew I wouldn’t want to do anything for days. Not to mention pain with penetration, bladder problems everything in the book, And they always say I just have a heavy period and need birth control. Never fails and it’s so sad because it really takes a toll on me and it’s something that I would love to never have to worry about again
It’s interesting to hear physician opinions. I’ve smas and endometriosis. By far it’s the most episodic and erratic feeling. Today was a day where I couldn’t get up. Stuck in a malaise of pain.
I feel like these days most doctors don't seem to care. I've only had one Doctor In my lifetime that would go above and beyond for her patients and sadly she moved. I remember I was having tremendous pain and swelling in my throat 2016. I couldn't talk for long, my voice would disappear which lead me to get fired from my call center job. I went to an ent dr, but he kept telling me nothing was wrong. I kept going back n he got irritated with me. I found another ent and he told me I have tonsillitis. I had to have my tonsils removed, and I feel so much better. Now I'm going through tremendous physical pain and I don't know why. No one can give me an answer, and they don't even bother to check the root of the problem.
Endometriosis is getting a lot of recognition now which is good but what about PCOS? Similar symptoms painful periods, infertility, bloating, weight gain, high testosterone levels, acne and so much more.
Endometriosis is so painful and even resulted in an ectopic pregnancy for me. I have dealing with pain since i was 15, and now at 28, infertility as well. I’ve had two laparoscopies and i’m due for a third to remove more lesions. It’s so so hard and it needs to be taken seriously. It greatly decreases your quality of life. 😢
Holistic chef here! For anyone like myself and the beautiful woman in the story who is experiencing endometriosis I recommend giving up dairy, gluten, soy, and processed food. Eat whole, natural foods, mostly plants, but 2-3 servings weekly of wild caught fish, 100% grass fed beef monthly, and organic fruits and veggies. My symptoms and pain reduced by 75% when up dairy but the remaining left when I gave up gluten
I suffered with endometriosis for almost ten years before I was properly diagnosed. It wasn't until I had surgery to remove fibroids that it was discovered. By that time, it was extensive, involving my reproductive organs, bowel, bladder and urinary tract. Adhesions had fused things together so that nothing could work properly. The worst part of it was having doctors who were so dismissive of my pain and symptoms. Laser surgery finally brought me relief, but it couldn't repair my infertility. I was fortunate to go through menopause early, because it slows down or even stops the growth of endo. Menopause has been a new lease on life!
G.A. I don’t understand please explain I am in terrible pain and bleeding to death from three weeks my dr after mri told me yesterday I have endometriosis
Mary- I sympathize. I had heavy bleeding, too, but in my case it was fibroids causing that. My primary symptom was horrible pain from the endo most of the time, even when going to the bathroom. My doctor removed the endometreosis adhesions with laser surgery at the same time he removed the fibroids. He wasn't able to remove all of it, however, and surgery left me vulnerable to scarring. Most gynecologists will first try treatment with birth control pills. (That never worked well for me.) The laser surgery gave me amazing relief and I went through menopause just a few years later. I've not had any more problems or pain. I hope you have a good doctor who listens to you and communicates well all your options. You have to advocate for yourself and find a different doctor if you are not getting any relief. If you want to have children, you definitely have to be proactive. Best wishes! G.A.
I had been suffering pass outs and chronic pain and unbearable fatigue and awful periods before any doctor could tell what my problem was. I really identified with her when she cried. Its just you get blamed at work and society for sth thats not even your fault!!!!
My endometriosis symptoms were: cistitis like symptoms very often, like every 2-3 months, bleeding when sexual contact. For 2 years was treated for cistitis until I refused to believe it so I was finally suggested to see the gyno. The gyno only with these 2 symptoms said she thought I had the endometriosis but required a laparoscopia. At my first laparoscopic -2 days after seeing the gyno-test was found around 5 locations of the endometriosis on the uterus and ovaries. No pain until years after the diagnosis, endometriosis must have developed somewhere around the colon. But the pill stopped the pain. The pill works for me.
It took me from 13 to 33 to get a diagnosis. I just kept being told it would be better as I got older. But it was the opposite. It got to the point where I could hardly function. I was poked and proded. I had 2 d&cs and 3 lapascropy surgeries. Finally at 33 my gyno suggested I go to Duke University and Finally someone said what you are going through isn't normal. It would take 2 more years to convince someone to give me a hysterectomy. No one should ever have to go through this but my 15 yo old niece is showing symptoms and is now waiting to go see someone at Duke.
@@piousbabe9325 ..you may have reduced your symptoms but there is not a cure for endometriosis. And I take medical advice from my actual gynecologist not someone on RUclips.
@@sburris65 I get so frustrated when people say they've "cured" their endo. Mainly because it usually means they're being straight up lied to by their doctors. 🙄
I would give anything to get help for this. Im only 30 years old and I got through the pain every day especially the last 5 years. But im always sick and in pain. I wish I could find a doctor to help me. I know especially what she meant when she said she didn't want to live anymore if that's how we got to live.
I experienced the same problem and dealt with it for over 10 years of the same things. My doctor told me that she didn’t believe me after I had been seen by her for over a year and that she didn’t experience it every month & she wouldn’t do my hysterectomy. I got a second opinion and they told me what was wrong with me & they did my hysterectomy. I had fibroids and another form of endometriosis. My uterus was 6.6 oz in weight. Six times the size of a normal uterus.
Today is my bday. I being living with Endo for 20 years. They took 12 years to tell me I had it. Two weeks ago i had my 3 surgery. I lost my tubes and now I cant be a mom. With only 40% of my ovaries, a badly working bladder and having cyst all over my digestive tract… I dont wish this illness to no one. It took away my mental health, my regular health and the opportunity to get a family. Being in pain is so common… I dont know what is not to live to it. At least for 4 it took 4 years, Imagine living for 12 years and people telling you that you are overreacting or imagining pain. To all my endo-fighters, you are not alone. If you are reading this, theres hope to have a great life. You cant let endo ruin your life. Your scars are battle ones that remind you why you are stronger and why you are alive.
In my experience of chronic pain, female gynes seem to do anything to disregard you’re symptoms and slam you onto medication. The worst thing about being female and suffering from constant pain is that you have to SHOUT will all your might to be heard, to be seen and for someone to take action. The amount of times I was told my pain could be ‘in my head’ it broke my mind and soul.
I spoke to my primary care doctor told her I needed a referral for a ultrasound because I was having pain on my right side she took my blood pressure and my weight and dipped out after sending the referral. I went back home and was in pain for a week and decided to go to urgent care turns out I have a urinary tract infection and the doctor at urgent care put me on antibiotics for ten days not only that he gave me a physical exam and a urinate test. I was disappointed because the other doctor acted like she didn’t care about my health. I went and got the ultrasound at a radiology center and five days later turns out I have a cyst On my right ovary and I have a possible endometria. The antibiotics I’ve been taking have helped dramatically the pain is pretty much gone from the cyst and it’s gotten smaller. Also, a lot of doctors are lazy, they don’t explain things correctly, or they are prejudice/racist. A lot of people of color don’t get the same level care as everyone. It’s up to us to ask questions and do our research. Doctors aren’t always right get other options and opinions. If you have to collect data and put In a binder like your going to court for your doctors appointment then do it. Your health is in your hands

Cheers for this, I've been looking for "causes of cervical pain during intercourse" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Siyrooklynd Eminent Secret - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is an awesome one off guide for discovering how to end your fibroids problem minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
i wanted to cry but even crying makes my cramps worse-
I think doctors have a bias towards believing women when they say they’re in pain. People in general tend to think women are just emotional and/or wusses. So they usually just think we’re exaggerating when we tell them our symptoms.
Especially black women. It's been proven time and time again that health "professionals" often dismiss our claims. Supposedly we have super strength and higher pain tolerance than other women and should just deal with it.
@@Justnoone21 Don't blame yourself you were just a child. We know our bodies the best and if one doctor tells you no... keep fighting for your health until somebody is willing to listen and do something about it.
Thank you. Thank you for this because I’m tired of constantly explaining myself and saying “No, I’m really hurting”.
BR I This made me cry because this is me. I’ve fainted during periods and the doctors says “drink coffee and the pain will stop”. Then like two weeks before my period I’m getting sharp pains in my back and hooha. I’m like I’m tired of taking things just tell me what this is so I can fix it.
@@Justnoone21 i found a cure for mine. Got a CBD company to test their product on me and it worked. I'm doing a video on the company soon and will share it with the world.
My endometriosis went undiagnosed for about 4 or 5 years it end up developing into stage 3 cancer I had to have a full hysterectomy at the age of 28 with no children It was hard but it was my new reality.
I am so sorry! But don't worry sis you still can be a mother no matter what . 🙏🏾
Omg im so very sorry. I hope you are able to find peace. I dont have endometriosis but i am 40 with no children and 3 failed IVF cycles; so i know your pain of the reality that we will never have biological children. God bless you.

I will have a kid for you
I’m sorry love! God bless you with baby bless 🙏🏾😘
I am a 27 year old woman who was just diagnosed for endometriosis 1 week ago by a male obgyn. My 2 female gynecologist disregarded my symptoms, my awful pain, my nausea, diarrhea with periods. He told me: you deserve the help you’ve been looking for for 2 years. It brought me hope and relief and hearing this woman talk, brought me to tears, thank you for sharing your story
Hey in endometriosis does our periods gets stopped pls reply yes or no
What were your symptoms?
Have y’all tried herbs? It works 💯, ever since I got herbs from this doctor to cure Endometriosis and my fibromyalgia is perfectly managed 100%, almost all the symptoms are gone and I don’t feel any pain anymore as I used to.

same here but they ended up putting me on pain meds and because I didnt take them like they wanted me to they kicked me off cold turkey and I got really sick and still am getting sick because I still deal with the endometriosis til this day smh... it's sad because the doctors really don't care about the people only the paycheck.

See Dr. Cherie Marfori with GWU Hospital in DC.
It's because they don't care. It makes no sense for gynecologists to be so careless. That is your one job. And if you are a black woman, it is worse. They care less.
charnae young Facts
According to them we don't feel pain at the same rate they do. 🤔 Oh and 70% of MD's think black skin is thicker than a white counter part
Yes. I tried taking birth control last yr for 4 months and i didnt know as much as i would have thought i was supposed to b told. The dr pretty much brushed off my concerns of break through bleeding. Like i felt as though i was lost. I just decided to lean myself off and probably nvr get it again.
charnae young exactly
I was just ready to right this exact comment
As someone with endometriosis and ovarian cysts, I totally understand the pain. The first time I experienced the pain I thought I was dying, I was in so much pain to the point where I couldn't even walk.
This is me almost daily now. I'm lucky to get a pain free day. 12 years later finally diagnosed and waiting for surgery.
You’re not alone there
Omg I feel this pain 🥲and doctors don’t take it serious
I just got this pain 3 days ago 😢
same!
I used to vomit and pass out with the pain and after 4 surgeries I still ended up infertile, but now the mother of a beautiful daughter after adopting.
Endometriosis was never heard of here in Ireland so I got on the web and discovered myself what the problem was.
I am just waiting to get pregnant to get rid of mine...
@Mary Smith James 2 of my sisters had bad cramps n after giving birth dats it. Besides when my sis found out that she rid her pain after her 1st child, she told a lady fren about it n the lady got pregnant n dat was it for her pain. The lady i told u had it so bad, she would ave to get injection every month, as pills wasn't helping her...

+@Mary Smith James Yes, i am going to discuss it with my doctor soon.
O dear really feeling bad for you.
Her saying living with the pain made her not want to live.... I feel this i was crying in the shower in horrible pain this morning asking why me what did I do to deserve this 😭
It took me 13 years to get my endometriosis diagnosis. When you're in pain for so long with no one listening to you, it's a relief when someone actually hears you.
I'm only 17, about to turn 18, and I've been experiencing all the symptoms since I was around 12. Doctors won't listen, saying it's a bad period. I want kids when I'm older. But this pain, it's just not worth it. It breaks me every month. Knowing I'm going through this for almost no point.
Keep trying, that’s all you can do I’m also 17 (turning 18 next year) and I also have debilitating period pain. I hope you get through to a great helpful doctor soon!
Freeze your eggs and get surgery
Same as you. I am 18 years old at the moment with terrible symptoms. Extremely painful cramps, and I honestly agree that it's not worth it.
But I do not want to regret it later on in life so I'm just sittin there takin the pain with no doctors taking the condition seriously.
I feel you, im 18 and was diagnosed with endo this year, if you have questions feel free to ask!
@@LexiNc8284how do you prevent it. Ive had painless cycles since I was 12 1/2 (when I started menstruating) now 14, and I don’t want to get it(endo)

😔 I understand how it's severely painful and how crippling it makes you feel. I pray that you'll find what it is that will work for you in either eliminating or relieving this infirmity.
You are an amazing friend... i have endometriosis and the pain feels worse then active labor, i would definitely choose birthing my children again over having endometriosis that's for sure. Endometriosis can be very debilitating and disrupt your life, and sleep.
@@franchescavandyk8149 Thank you. We are still friends and some days are good and other days are rough.
I suffered. Then I was told that cows get endometriosis too. Farmers gave them selenium supplements. I started taking it along with vitamin c and vitamin e. I then discovered that Brazil nuts are a fantastic source if selenium. I ate few daily with an orange. It helped me greatly. I hope this helps someone. Don't give up. God has the healing power.
Cows get endometriosis because of the food they eat which is soy based. Soy increases a hormonal reaction in the body that causes severe tissue growth especially the reproductive system. Virtually all the food products we eat today have soy which which increases the hormone estrogen. An over abundance of this hormone causes endometriosis and eventually STERILITY.
hurdlesharon8187 TRUTH!
At age 25 I was diagnosed with endometriosis and told I might never have kids. Long story short. My husband and I prayed and here I am with two beautiful children. I still get a lot of pain every month but yes, God is a healer. Never give up.
hurdlesharon8187 most women with the standard American diet are not eating large sources of soy. I am vegan now and soy does not cause me any type of menstrual issues. Dairy is a cocktail of hormones and it causes lumps, cysts and a host of hormonal issues in women. There’s a difference between a cow eating soy when it should eat grass, and a human eating soy.
Thank you so much. I will try this for my endo.
In my experience, I find that sometimes having a male obgyn can be better because they will run a battery of tests to find out where the symptoms are coming from. They ask more questions and try to get more information because although they study women's bodies they have no predisposition about what a woman is going through. Women obgyn's sometimes dismiss things because they are women themselves and think they know what's going on. You have to really push women for more diagnostics.
@@bricbrac28 wow! I'm so glad you were able to get that 2nd opinion and have that taken care of.
When I first got pregnant, my friend gave me that advice and she was right. I have the best obgyn he's funny, personable, runs tests and answers all questions.
@@msblessing2000 excuse me? A Male obgyn had the nerve of telling me that I was faking my pain
@@kimberly11091 Well I'm sorry you had to go through that.
My friends and I have had both male and female obgyn's and we stuck with the male. A lot of the female obgyn's said the exact thing your male obgyn said.
At the end of the day, I hope you were healed of whatever ailed you.
My worst gyn was a man. He doesn't even have lady parts & he had the nerve to tell me endometriosis is "annoying" but not painful. He actually argued with me over my symptoms because he claimed women don't actually know what they're experiencing so he's just "correcting" us on what symptoms we're feeling 😠😠
msblessing2000 it's true. it sounds sexist but it's true.
Seriously started crying, and seriously still am. I have all the symptoms and have been in so much pain for the longest. I was scared to have the talk with my husband, but I think I'm ready now. I didn't want him to feel guilty, because it's not his fault it hurts so badly. I guess I forgot that it's not my fault either.
It's no one's fault. And ao sorry your going through this pain. Hopefully you can get it figured out so you can live a better quality of life. Prayers to you 🙏

I think that’s what I’m suffering from. Since my menstrual started at age 12 I get crucial pain, body over heats, and throwing up before period comes and during. 26 now and still dealing w. It
Go to a gynecologist and suggest that you might have endometriosis

I am the same. I got my period at age 12, and i have been in awful pain. I throw up, my body over heat, back pain , can’t even do anything. I have been to emergency so many times but no doctors ever talked me about endometriosis,
At 48 years old I’ve been suffering over a decade. I knew something was wrong and this can’t be normal. I finally got a diagnosis. Now I’m going to solve the problem to live my absolute best life now. Thank you.
Black women if a dr denies you treatment then ask them to record it on your health records and then report them. Im sure they will do something about it then.
It happened to me too and I'm not black
I will do that. Watch I get all of them fired. I don't care if I see them on the streets begging for change. If they see me and ask me for anything I will say "Sorry there is nothing I can do for you."
Irony.
@@mbererm It happens more often to black women. That is not to take anything from your experience, but in every arena of care, black women are neglected and our mortality rates, particularly maternal mortality rates prove it.
Queen Dionne I’m not discrediting what you’re saying. However this is a video about endometriosis. She talks about the lack of knowledge there is about the condition within the medical industry. She herself, who has a medical background, was not aware of the illness up to her diagnosis. Her experience is my experience and the experience of many, many women who have the disease.

I have been suffering since middle school. I vomit and have diarrhea at the same time. I can’t eat food and cannot keep fluids down. I basically live in the bathroom and scream all day. It is very embarrassing because nobody understands what causes pain every month for me to scream. So I suffer in silence until I live with my boyfriend he is so shocked every month at my pain he even asked if he can drive me to the hospital. When I was in middle school I asked my doctor what can we do and all she said was she can prescribe me painkillers. I gave up since then but now I realize something really must be wrong because I still have not met anyone with this pain like me. I will try to see another doctor until I get taken seriously
I’m going through the same thing rn. Doctors don’t like curing people they just want the money from “treating” them.

Hi, @Christina Charles. This strong pain isn't "normal", but very "diffused" and a lot of girl suffer with it, but you don't have to be afraid, because you can do a lot to prevent and avoid your pain. I'm a nurse, from a lot of years I've been studying the severe menstrual pain and some methods to prevent it, first by means of an easy progressive thermal stimulation and after, if necessary, by a particular controle of your food. The cause of your pain must be studied, understanded and resolved. You can write to me by my email osv1950@gmail.com : we can speak better than here and I will send you an attachment (here not possible) of a first method, very glad to help you not to suffer unnecessarily next times.
You need birth control to stop your periods. My gynaecologist told me that’s the only treatment.
20 years before my diagnosis, destroys lives, marriages, and careers, I was a Registered nurse for 20 years. Years of gp visits and consultants. Final surgery when discovered was attached to organs everywhere in abdomen. I am so glad there is more awareness of this disease now 🙏
Its funny how Jenneh is the one who suffered and had the disease but yet spoke the least. Lets start letting the patient speak more, its their body. The doctor can only speak from her text book and what she seen clinically but yet we have a patient who went through it.

Im 20 and I'm sure almost positive I have something like endometriosis... my periods are ridiculous!
Shes so pretty
I’ve suffered with unbearable, heavy periods for years. I would have severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, even pain in my legs, no amount of pain killers would even make a dent in the pain, & I felt like people thought I was exaggerating the pain. I ended up severely anemic needing blood transfusions, iron infusions, left me having a hard time breathing, insomnia, irregular heartbeat, extreme fatigue. I would go through 3 large pads & 10-12 ultra Tampons in an hour, I asked a previous ob years ago if it could possibly be endometriosis, and was ignored. I finally caved & had a hysterectomy in December. Just found out yesterday from my ob’s Pa, that I had endometriosis all over my uterus & they also had to remove my tubes as it had spread to there. I’m so frustrated that this maybe could have been dealt with years ago. It’s sad to say but sometimes you have to be your own advocate.
I've been in excruciating pain for 3 years and today I just scheduled my laparoscopic surgery for endomerriosis. Its hard for doctors to listen to patients especially black women. I actually studied this condition for years and I kept telling my doctors this really could be it and they never looked into it. I actually had said it could be umbilical endometriosis which is rare and 2 days ago I had an MRI of the abdomen and pelvis and they found a 1.8cm nodule in the umbilicus area. Now we are scheduling a surgery to remove the noodle and check for endometriosis in the pelvis and umbilicus. I studied my symptoms and medical research over the 3 years and I am finally going to get confirmation that I was right. I'm so relieved.
Ive self diagnosed more than once. If our doctors actually did their job snd gave a crap we wouldn’t need to do this!!
Endometriosis is the worse 🤦🏽♀️
Mind blown. It's a minor miracle that this doctor came out and admitted her medical training let her down! I take my hat off to her. She must be a very aware doctor. Now good on you!!
My endometriosis was not diagnosed for years - 30 years later I am finally diagnosed. However, 20 years later there was some diagnostic inkling. This was a really good interview. Good on you for speaking out to the lady who suffers it. We all know how you feel!
I was able to mange my endo with diet and exercise! I was able to conceive a year later and now have a healthy 5 year old. I did research on what foods to stay away from and what to eat more of.
Yup! A lot of women don't realize that diet plays a critical part in the management of the disease. I too suffer from it. It took me years to figure it out and now I can't get a doctor to listen to me. I have been able to control my symptoms with a drastic change in diet however, until I can get a doctor to listen, I remain infertile at 40 with weight issues and no answers from anyone (although I work out religiously and eat like a bird) among other symptoms. In any event, I am glad to hear I am not alone in my struggles. Stay hopeful ladies but keep your diet plant based, low carb and eliminate estrogen rich foods and chemicals. It does help over time. God bless 😘
Can you ladies elaborate on what changes you made to your diet please? X
Yes more info of diet changes!
Can you elaborate on what diet changes you made? Thank you!
I included soy in my diet (non GMO) and flax seeds. I'm also vegan and eat quite clean but I can say that soy and flax seeds work best for me. I don't eat sugar or anything that can cause inflammation. Hope this can help someone. Wish I knew all this 20 years ago.
This brought on a lot of emotions I was diagnosed with stage 4 endo 2 years ago and have been struggling to get the help I need to get my life back. So thankful endo is getting more attention so us who suffer daily can get the care we need and deserve.
Just got diagnosed with endo after 6 years of searching for a doctor to help me and 13 years of heavy bleeding and pain. If I would have stopped at doctor #1 I would have died 6 years ago. If something feels wrong keep fighting , keep searching help is out there. ❤
Wdym died??
Died? You had endometrial cancer?
This pain is unbearable I have suffering with this pain for over 6 years. Have been to many doctors and have not been given anything but birth control which i refuse to take.
Have you thought about going to a GYN Specialist? It wasn't until I went to a specialist that I was diagnosed.
@@HealthyKyla what was their treatment besides surgery?
@@Evettecord There isn't any. Doctors will throw birth control at it, but it doesn't help. There is no cure for endo.
Please go to the gynaecologist as soon as possible to get it checked out.
@@AA-yk4dy it is really stupid that we are in 2021 and still there is no cure for an illness many women suffer from. It almost seems like world doesn't care about women at this point.
Oh yes they're on point I have this condition. Painful periods, bowel symptoms & infertility & all the others mentioned in this video. It makes you sick for a week or 2, literally you feel like you can't function daily & in alot of pain & discomfort sometimes. I did the surgery, injection treatment & birth control. As long as you have ovaries it comes back because the estrogen is to high.
yes estrogen feeds it
Estrogen is high because of a high consumption of SOY virtually all foods are SOY based which increases estrogen in the body and is also a hormone disruptor which will eventually lead to fibroids, endometriosis and ultimately sterility
If you have excision surgery, endometriosis should not come back even with ovaries. You need a surgeon who is skilled specifically in excision. There aren’t many in the US and fewer world-wide. The Facebook group Nancy’s Nook has a list of surgeons committed to excision treatment and recurrence is less than 20% with these surgeons. I’ve had 12 surgeries total. My last being with Dr. Mosbrucker in WA state. I’d suffered for 25 years. Now I live pain free.
@@amyallen3269 thank you Amy I'll look into that & see how it goes. So your saying I don't have to remove my ovaries?? Which is good. Have a blessed day.
@@hurdlesharon8187 This is new to me I don't like soy but as you said alot of foods has soy in them, how sad. I do read ingredients so I'll check up on that & watch further more than I'm already doing what I'm eating. Thank you have a blessed day.
She said the symptoms omg I have al of those 😭 I’m on my period I’m in so much pain I’m shaking I just want it to stop
You have to get surgery.. it’s the only way because it only gets worse because it grows.
Poor health and no end in sight does deteriorate you mentally and physically. Glad she got to a solution.
I am happy to finally see more coverage on this subject. I had extremely painful endometriosis that started at age 11. I begged doctors to give me a hysterectomy at 19 and no one would do it because I didn't have children. I tried to have children with my husband and in the end we were divorced bc I couldn't bare his children. I finally put up a go fund me at the age of 32 to just pay out right for my hysterectomy and I am so happy to say I am 80% pain free. I realize now that a hysterectomy isn't a cure since I still get reoccurring cysts that burst, however that beats what my life once was. I wish the best to anyone struggling with this awful pain. Just know you are not alone.💜
Miss Nachami try reading sacred woman by Queen Afua.
But they will give ANY MAN A VASECTOMY!!
I have been diagnosed with endometriosis since I was 17. I suffered since I started my period at 13. With no diagnosis. But I've had 3 surgeries since then. And I'm still suffering. There's no cure for endometriosis. But thank God she has relief. Bc so many people just say go have the surgery AMD you'll be cured. But that's not always the case. God bless her so glad she's not in pain now. Hopefully it will last. 🌺
SUCH AN IMPORTANT CONVERSATION.
I’ve been in so much pain since having my first born almost 2 years ago. There are times while on my period where the pain is so severe I fall to the floor and want to vomit. Exact symptoms! Thank you so much for posting this video. I have not mentioned anything to my doctor bc I was scared they’ll just say I was being dramatic. Thank you for opening my eyes. 😢
Praying for great health, and healing for any women who experience or suffer with this pain or any pain and discomfort 🙏🏿♥️✨
My best friend just had the same thing happen. She got diagnosed with endometriosis yesterday after 4 years of pain and over 10 different doctors and multiple gynaecologists. She had surgery yesterday. I'm a nurse and know about endometriosis, and have always thought that that was the problem. They even removed her appendix a couple years ago thinking she had appendicitis. Had her on long term NSAID medications which is terrible for your stomach. She finally found a gynaecologist that helped her and put her on the list for surgery within 3 months. It's not just a racism problem it's the fact that people don't understand how debilitating endometriosis is. It's not just period pain, it's severe pain and it gets worse. My friend has been in severe pain everyday for the last 6 months. Plus all the other symptoms on top of that she has barely been able to get herself out of bed.
Hi, I'm diagnosed with ibs but not very convinced as I have been going to ER a few days before my period starts. Symptoms like vomiting and abdominal pain was really bad. I'm having symptoms such as nausea, brain fog, insomnia everyday for the past 2 months. One of my gut doctor said it could be long covid. I'm really hoping you can give me an insight of what's ur friend's daily symptoms (even when she dun have her period?)
This video not only made me cry, but made me MORE aware of my symptoms. I wont give up...i will keep pushing for a diagnosis
Wow crazy my friend had this is the 1980s here in Portland Or. She was diagnosed and treated with orthosopic surgery way back then. What the heck? That's 35 years ago.
It took me 25 years to be taken seriously and diagnosed. You do start to feel hopeless. When she started crying, i did too. I had a black woman gyno. She downplayed my pain until i started bleeding from my rectum. Surgery happens(by a male surgeon). All my organs were fused together, i had thickscarring from previous c sections, adhesions had pulled my intestine to my belly button and..adhered. also found cysts and endosalpingiosis as a secondary diagnosis. I cried so hard. I wasnt imagining it ❤❤❤ also...shes absolutely gorgeous.
God Bless you Jenna
I cried along with you..my cramps/chronic pain is so bad I definitely the if this is what my life is going to be then I dont want to live
Don't give up Lisa! There are so many women and support groups out there that want to help you. I have Stage IV Endometriosis, and I just learned the steps I need to take to find relief.

As a nurse who didn’t get diagnosed until 5 years later, I’m so grateful to be working with a doctor who is finally helping ❤
I truly am sorry for the people that have it. I’m only 12 years old, I don’t have endo but I do suffer from intense cramps myself! Cramps are no joke! I’m praying for people that have it!🥺
I have endometriosis, fibroids and one block tube due to the endometriosis i wasn't able to get pregnant. Permit me introduce you the herbal mixture that cured my endometriosis in a period of 14 days. I am a living wit- ness of this wonderful work of this doc. For information on how I was cured, contact @doctor_saibu now by email drsaibu2@gmail.com for more details on herbal medications and get the cure completely @doctor_saibu Herbs are also effective in curing the HIV, cancer, hepatitis, fibroids, HPV, etc .
I have always had painful periods and finally at 37 I ended up in the ER a few times. I have endometriosis and I bleed very heavy, vomit of the pain and roll up in a ball for 3 days every month. I can’t work, I can’t workout, I can’t even eat and the hospitals Doctor say they can’t prescribe me pain medication. I can not continue to live this way. This is a very real problem people. I’m glad that this young lady is being awareness to this horrible disease .
Currently laying in bed crying and in pain rn and trying not to throw up because of how painful this is, my lower stomach and lower back are most affected and it feels like I’m dying quite literally😭 Just trying not to pass out😖
Hello sister use Dr Omo herbal medicine very powerful and active am free from pain after using it will help you...
@@rhondapagan5759 I’ll definitely look it up tysm girl🤞
Reach him on email and order.
14 years of pain and symptoms and I have finally found a doctor who listened... Because I'll be having a dual surgery to remove what is believed to be an endometrioma I'm waiting for a surgery date, but hearing "if that's what the rest of my life will be, I don't know if it's a life I want to live," I felt that...
Thank you for explaining how debilitating it is. It literally does make you want to take you’re own life it is a horrendous thing. It’s on par with cancer level pain apparently and it’s dismissed so easily. My husband doesn’t care he has no clue why it past few years whatever kicked it up a gear to 6 hospital stays surgery fatigue leaving work because inability to handle it just will not listen. So so frustrating.
10years here complained on all sorts of deaf hears was told this was my normal 😳😳 I had a 16day period and passed out at work😩🤦🏽♀️ finally found a doctor who was like this isn’t normal not for you or anyone. (I love her it’s like drowning and someone giving you their hand) 😢😢😢 got my diagnosis and doing several treatments and we’ll see where this goes 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Thank you for shining a light on this. As a endo warrior myself it means the world to me! ❤️
I recently get rid of my Endometriosis through herbal supplement i ordered from Dr Aluda on RUclips..
Was just diagnosed after 6 years of issues. Wow this is good info to help others
Stage IV Endometriosis Mom Here! This interview is so powerful! For the ladies in the comments that think that there is no hope to living without pain, there is! If you doctor is not taking your pain seriously, find a specialist! Also, the right vitamins can truly relieve you of pain! I recently did a video sharing the ones I use. Just know you can fight this!!
Please share what you take
Pls share the vitamins
Diagnosing Endo is already hard enough, I can’t even imagine what it’s like to be a black woman and not have people take your pain seriously
Smh.
Have y’all tried herbs? It works 💯, ever since I got herbs from this doctor to cure Endometriosis and my fibromyalgia is perfectly managed 100%, almost all the symptoms are gone and I don’t feel any pain anymore as I used to. I feel very free and normal again. I practically contact him for every single illness or symptoms and his herbs works all the time. He is open to WhatsApp on this +44 7441 443148
How about just being A Woman no one believes...White Women have the Same issues.
Wow
ALL WOMEN MATTER tf is wrong with you
I went through menopause a year ago. After decades of pain so severe I can’t describe it. It affected every aspects of my life. And never was treated because it’s just pain.
Did your menopause lessen the endo pain?
I went through a lot before my diagnosis! Please go until you get a diagnosis!!🙌🏽
Thankfully for me I got referred to an infertility doctor for my pain around 18 years old. I told him my symptoms and flat out said you have endometriosis you need surgery. There is no way to confirm you have endo unless you have surgery so you are kind of hoping you have it, if that makes sense. He was the #1 doctor in the country for endo surgery, and was the head of team that did the first successful uterus transplant resulting in a live birth at the Cleveland Clinic. Amazing news for him, sad for me, he got chosen to be chief of staff at Londons first CCF. I will be eternally grateful to this man, I have had 4 other endo surgeries because it does grow back, but if he didn't listen to what I was saying God knows how horrible it would have gotten.
Have you tried herbal medications it worked for me cleared everything and no growing back
Endo is not a uterine disorder... it is an ectopic condition where tissue SIMILAR to the lining of the uterus is found outside of the uterus. Hope you can spread the correct information.
L. E. So is hysterectomy the answer please if u have some knowledge please share I am in terrible mess
Mary Real if you are on Facebook join the group called Nancys Nook. Look up Dr Redwine here on RUclips and listen to his 1989 interview about endometriosis.
jenuhful thank u dear
Mary Real hysterectomy is not a cure for endometriosis. It may help women with adenomyosis but if you have endometriosis (where lesions are located outside of the uterus) then it does not necessarily solve the issue of pain especially if the lesions have not been excised and have been left in by your surgeon.
Mary Real First off, understand that your ovaries produce the hormones that cause endometriosis lesions to flare up. A hysterectomy will not cure endometriosis but if the ovaries are removed, it will prevent you from having further flare ups and pain. My doctor performed a hysterectomy after my endo was found. While she was performing my procedure, she also removed all of the endometriosis lesions she saw. I no longer have endometriosis pain, although also no longer having ovaries caused a another host of problems. If I had it to do all over again, I would have sought a second opinion because having a hysterectomy at the age of 32 wasn’t the best decision, in my case.
I can relate and it seems like nobody cares....her story is my mine. God bless ❤️
It took 9 years for my diagnosis to be done & still on the journey, in Kenya many doctors, medical practitioners have no idea how to even deal with a patient.
I was just diagnosed with endo yesterday!! It all makes sense now as to why I have constant pain during and around my period! My dad used to say don’t be soo dramatic!!! I must of had it for years!!!! I defo don’t have it reallly badly cos I still maintain a pain free life but that could change! I don’t really have bad period pains like I did when I was younger! Maybe I have it milder than others!!!
As women our pain is almost always blamed on anxiety. Doctors, even female doctors, rarely take women's pain seriously.
The first time I learned about endometriosis I was in eighth grade age 12 and I’m 29 now... I’m shocked that it’s so many women aren’t learning about this
It took me so many doctors to get my diagnosis! When you all for tests and doctors decline ask them to note why they chose not to do the tests they usually end up doing it
Finally was able to convince a doctor I wanted to be sterilized at 40 (started asking at 16!), and while he was in there, turns out he removed moderate endometriosis!
If doctors had taken me seriously in one of many ways (extreme period pain with some wild PMS in my 30s or that I knew I never wanted kids at 12 and wanted permanent sterilization), they could have not made me go through 30 years of pain that prevented me from living a normal life or planning normal activities. It was easier for them to give me a script for flexeril instead of asking what hurts and why.
I had surgery 3.5 weeks ago and my period is even worse than usual, hoping it'll settle down in a few cycles. Best wishes for all the others out there that need help and hope y'all can find doctors that believe your pain and want to help instead of just extort you for money and tell you "that pain is normal, let me write you another script for it." I'm gonna go eat RSO and go to bed.
I’m feeling the same way she was feeling right now and I’m praying to God my appointment at the end of the month gives me some answers 😢❤
I cried watching this. It’s not only me! Other women suffer. Ive been turned down so much. It is criminal.
Every doctor I go to and tell them I have abnormally painful periods, I bleed like crazy, I have terrible back pain and would dread my period because I knew I wouldn’t want to do anything for days. Not to mention pain with penetration, bladder problems everything in the book, And they always say I just have a heavy period and need birth control. Never fails and it’s so sad because it really takes a toll on me and it’s something that I would love to never have to worry about again
It’s interesting to hear physician opinions. I’ve smas and endometriosis. By far it’s the most episodic and erratic feeling. Today was a day where I couldn’t get up. Stuck in a malaise of pain.
I feel like these days most doctors don't seem to care. I've only had one Doctor In my lifetime that would go above and beyond for her patients and sadly she moved. I remember I was having tremendous pain and swelling in my throat 2016. I couldn't talk for long, my voice would disappear which lead me to get fired from my call center job. I went to an ent dr, but he kept telling me nothing was wrong. I kept going back n he got irritated with me. I found another ent and he told me I have tonsillitis. I had to have my tonsils removed, and I feel so much better. Now I'm going through tremendous physical pain and I don't know why. No one can give me an answer, and they don't even bother to check the root of the problem.
Been trying to get a dr to take my pain seriously for 30 years!
Endometriosis is getting a lot of recognition now which is good but what about PCOS? Similar symptoms painful periods, infertility, bloating, weight gain, high testosterone levels, acne and so much more.
Kay’s Lovely Boutique oh GOD and don’t forget about the “facial hair”
313angie1 absolutely!
Recently diagnosed with both!
@@313angie1 That isn't the most important symptom to mention. It is sexist to suggest that it is important.
Pcos is more widely spoke about than endometriosis
Endometriosis is so painful and even resulted in an ectopic pregnancy for me. I have dealing with pain since i was 15, and now at 28, infertility as well. I’ve had two laparoscopies and i’m due for a third to remove more lesions. It’s so so hard and it needs to be taken seriously. It greatly decreases your quality of life. 😢
We need to fight for our rights. Bring awareness to woman’s issues and provide relief to women everywhere.
Holistic chef here! For anyone like myself and the beautiful woman in the story who is experiencing endometriosis I recommend giving up dairy, gluten, soy, and processed food. Eat whole, natural foods, mostly plants, but 2-3 servings weekly of wild caught fish, 100% grass fed beef monthly, and organic fruits and veggies. My symptoms and pain reduced by 75% when up dairy but the remaining left when I gave up gluten
I suffered with endometriosis for almost ten years before I was properly diagnosed. It wasn't until I had surgery to remove fibroids that it was discovered. By that time, it was extensive, involving my reproductive organs, bowel, bladder and urinary tract. Adhesions had fused things together so that nothing could work properly. The worst part of it was having doctors who were so dismissive of my pain and symptoms. Laser surgery finally brought me relief, but it couldn't repair my infertility. I was fortunate to go through menopause early, because it slows down or even stops the growth of endo. Menopause has been a new lease on life!
I agree with you but suffered decades.
G.A. I don’t understand please explain I am in terrible pain and bleeding to death from three weeks my dr after mri told me yesterday I have endometriosis
G.A. How u got out of it please
Mary- I sympathize. I had heavy bleeding, too, but in my case it was fibroids causing that. My primary symptom was horrible pain from the endo most of the time, even when going to the bathroom. My doctor removed the endometreosis adhesions with laser surgery at the same time he removed the fibroids. He wasn't able to remove all of it, however, and surgery left me vulnerable to scarring. Most gynecologists will first try treatment with birth control pills. (That never worked well for me.) The laser surgery gave me amazing relief and I went through menopause just a few years later. I've not had any more problems or pain. I hope you have a good doctor who listens to you and communicates well all your options. You have to advocate for yourself and find a different doctor if you are not getting any relief. If you want to have children, you definitely have to be proactive. Best wishes! G.A.
G.A. Prayers on the way 🙏for u my dear
One more question what laser surgery or treatment u did
That tear... I felt it. Endo pain leaves you traumatized because feel the worst kind of pain that even years on thinking about it can make you cry.
Started my RUclips today about my endo story. Took 15 years. I'm also a nurse.
I had been suffering pass outs and chronic pain and unbearable fatigue and awful periods before any doctor could tell what my problem was. I really identified with her when she cried. Its just you get blamed at work and society for sth thats not even your fault!!!!
Wonderful video! Thanks for this interview ❤️💓🙏
My endometriosis symptoms were: cistitis like symptoms very often, like every 2-3 months, bleeding when sexual contact. For 2 years was treated for cistitis until I refused to believe it so I was finally suggested to see the gyno. The gyno only with these 2 symptoms said she thought I had the endometriosis but required a laparoscopia. At my first laparoscopic -2 days after seeing the gyno-test was found around 5 locations of the endometriosis on the uterus and ovaries. No pain until years after the diagnosis, endometriosis must have developed somewhere around the colon. But the pill stopped the pain. The pill works for me.
A smile?! I wanted to die!!! She is so brave
It took me from 13 to 33 to get a diagnosis. I just kept being told it would be better as I got older. But it was the opposite. It got to the point where I could hardly function. I was poked and proded. I had 2 d&cs and 3 lapascropy surgeries. Finally at 33 my gyno suggested I go to Duke University and Finally someone said what you are going through isn't normal. It would take 2 more years to convince someone to give me a hysterectomy. No one should ever have to go through this but my 15 yo old niece is showing symptoms and is now waiting to go see someone at Duke.

@@piousbabe9325 ..you may have reduced your symptoms but there is not a cure for endometriosis. And I take medical advice from my actual gynecologist not someone on RUclips.
@@sburris65 I get so frustrated when people say they've "cured" their endo. Mainly because it usually means they're being straight up lied to by their doctors. 🙄
I would give anything to get help for this. Im only 30 years old and I got through the pain every day especially the last 5 years. But im always sick and in pain. I wish I could find a doctor to help me. I know especially what she meant when she said she didn't want to live anymore if that's how we got to live.
I experienced the same problem and dealt with it for over 10 years of the same things. My doctor told me that she didn’t believe me after I had been seen by her for over a year and that she didn’t experience it every month & she wouldn’t do my hysterectomy. I got a second opinion and they told me what was wrong with me & they did my hysterectomy. I had fibroids and another form of endometriosis. My uterus was 6.6 oz in weight. Six times the size of a normal uterus.
Today is my bday. I being living with Endo for 20 years. They took 12 years to tell me I had it. Two weeks ago i had my 3 surgery. I lost my tubes and now I cant be a mom. With only 40% of my ovaries, a badly working bladder and having cyst all over my digestive tract… I dont wish this illness to no one. It took away my mental health, my regular health and the opportunity to get a family. Being in pain is so common… I dont know what is not to live to it. At least for 4 it took 4 years, Imagine living for 12 years and people telling you that you are overreacting or imagining pain. To all my endo-fighters, you are not alone. If you are reading this, theres hope to have a great life. You cant let endo ruin your life. Your scars are battle ones that remind you why you are stronger and why you are alive.
In my experience of chronic pain, female gynes seem to do anything to disregard you’re symptoms and slam you onto medication. The worst thing about being female and suffering from constant pain is that you have to SHOUT will all your might to be heard, to be seen and for someone to take action. The amount of times I was told my pain could be ‘in my head’ it broke my mind and soul.

I spoke to my primary care doctor told her I needed a referral for a ultrasound because I was having pain on my right side she took my blood pressure and my weight and dipped out after sending the referral. I went back home and was in pain for a week and decided to go to urgent care turns out I have a urinary tract infection and the doctor at urgent care put me on antibiotics for ten days not only that he gave me a physical exam and a urinate test. I was disappointed because the other doctor acted like she didn’t care about my health. I went and got the ultrasound at a radiology center and five days later turns out I have a cyst
On my right ovary and I have a possible endometria. The antibiotics I’ve been taking have helped dramatically the pain is pretty much gone from the cyst and it’s gotten smaller. Also, a lot of doctors are lazy, they don’t explain things correctly, or they are prejudice/racist. A lot of people of color don’t get the same level care as everyone. It’s up to us to ask questions and do our research. Doctors aren’t always right get other options and opinions. If you have to collect data and put
