Was my Surgery a Failure?
link> Was my Surgery a Failure?
"There is perhaps nothing more frustrating than feeling like your ‘best-hope-for-relief-surgery’ didn’t work. It’s a tough conversation, but let’s dive in and review some points of this multi-faceted, complex issue that may occur – even following excision in the hands of a “specialist.”" -centerforendometriosiscare.com
This Is What Endometriosis Feels Like
link> This Is What Endometriosis Feels Like
"The pain is deep and heavy, almost as though I'm being pulled down by gravity. It's a soreness, sometimes a pinch or a twinge or even a stab -- but nearly always it is just deep and full, almost like a moan that stays always in a low octave. There are times, at night as I find I can't move because it has pulled me down against my bed, where I find that I, too, must audibly groan. Almost as though I'm harmonizing with the depth of the painful chord inside." - huffingtonpost.com by Abby Norman
Hysterectomy: The Shocking Truth by Lee Rothberg
link> HYSTERECTOMY: THE SHOCKING TRUTH
"In 1978, Nora Coffey, then in her mid-thirties, had surgery which sent shock waves throughout her body and changed her life forever. The operation removed both her uterus (hysterectomy) and her ovaries (castration). However, contrary to what Coffey had been advised by both her medical and lay resources, their removal produced changes in her body which left her emotionally and physically crippled.
Prior to the operation, Coffey describes herself as "a strong, healthy, vigorous woman, working as a researcher in biochemistry." Then she says she began to experience annoying, irregular vaginal bleeding which lasted nearly a year. Without exploring any other method of treatment, says Coffey, her doctor advised a hysterectomy."- Lee Rothberg

Migraines and Endometriosis
link> Migraines More Common in Women with Endometriosis
"Data suggest that at least a third of women with endometriosis may also suffer from migraines. Researchers from Italy found a significantly higher frequency of migraine (38.3%) in women with confirmed endometriosis versus healthy women (15.1%). The onset of migraine was five years earlier (16.4 years versus 21.9) in women with endometriosis and more likely to be a migraine with aura." -
Endometriosis and Transgender
link> Endometriosis and Transgender: Beyond Gendered Reproductive Health
"Endometriosis is often a very misunderstood, and under diagnosed disease affecting a significant population of women. It is typically classified as a gynaecological condition affecting the organs of the female reproductive system, or pelvic region. There are, of course, manifestations of the disease that can appear in other areas of the body, and do not have to correlate with the pelvic region, though endometriosis is most commonly referred to as a female disease.
There is a significant body of research exploring women with endometriosis, and their lived experiences, as well as how to treat women with endo, from a medical perspective. But what happens if the person with endometriosis is not a woman?" -Hormones Matter.com/FOX
