Symptoms of Chocolate Cysts

A chocolate cyst, also known as an endometrioma, is a type of ovarian cyst filled with old blood resembling chocolate syrup. It occurs due to endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus. These cysts can cause pelvic pain, especially during menstruation, and may affect fertility. Treatment options include pain management, hormonal therapy, or surgical removal, depending on the severity of symptoms and fertility concerns. Regular monitoring and medical intervention are essential for managing chocolate cysts effectively.

Watch out, he’s wearing a wire!!

…We had a three hour drive to get to my fiancé’s family Christmas in Warrnambool, so I’ve been blasting my new TENS machine.

One of the things I’ve found shittiest and most unexpected about chronic pain is that I rarely get to feel hot anymore, so please feel free to lust after me.

which blorbo has a hysterectomy 🎤

I've lost a significant amount of weight in the last couple of years between the low carb diet and medical assistance and medication

And I should be happy about that I guess? But I'm just kind of frustrated

On one hand, my doctors are happier with me and more cooperative when I ask for help with things. My endometriosis flare-ups have been less frequent (which may or may not be because of the weight loss. It's hard to be sure) I've had to buy some cute new clothes since I've shrunk out of some of my wardrobe. I fit back into some older clothes that used to be too tight.

On the other hand, I am noticing changes in my body shape that I'm not super happy with. My tummy hangs lower than it used to, likely due to both looser skin and the fact that I'm approaching 40. Bad combination. And buying new clothes is fun but also EXPENSIVE and I can't really afford it. I only managed to get some nice clothes in spring because a plus-size shop had a huge clearance sale.

On top of all of that, the last time I saw my doctor she was pleased with my progress and was like "if you keep this up, you could lose another X pounds in 2 years!" And I think she was trying to buoy me up and be optimistic but. Two years. I have to keep dieting and poking myself with needles and watching the scale for two years. And longer than that, probably. If you stop, the weight comes back. How much loose saggy skin will I have when I lose twice the weight I've lost now? Will my pain or mobility be any better then? (So far the weight loss has not seemed to make a difference on those fronts) Is fitting into the weight category my doctors like going to actually have health benefits for me? Is all this trouble worth it!?

And I spent years overcoming the bullshit diet culture drilled into my head and learning to love my body and now I'm dieting and my body is changing in ways I'm not happy with and. I don't know. It feels like a defeat. Like I'm moving backwards

I love being T4T. My gf has been on estrogen for a couple weeks now and she's been having a rough time with her mood so I'm teaching her about the ancient art of soaking in a bubble bath with a little drink to sip while watching shows on your laptop

Will someone come give me a hysterectomy I’ll make you donuts

I think we should really stop normalizing extremely painful periods like. I am not saying don’t talk about them, just don’t normalize them, because a lot of the comments I see people make about painful periods make it sound like that’s something everyone with a period experiences and that’s just not true.

Personally, I don’t experience much pain during my periods. I’m often uncomfortable for the first few days and rarely, I get cramps, but even just Tylenol is enough to get rid of them. I’ve always considered myself pretty lucky for this, but I’m not, like, that much of an outlier.

If you’re in enough period pain that it’s stopping you from doing things, and ibuprofen and tylenol don’t bring you relief, that’s not normal. I know seeing a doctor is a lot easier said than done and doctors can be very dismissive about period pain, but like. That’s not normal, and you might want to look into it.

From one person with chronic pain to another. What you are going through is not normal and you deserve relief.

Offended that I haven't gotten the "show your diagnosis papers" anon ask bc if I did I could use it as an excuse to post the pictures I have of my own mangled uterus

[girlblocker]

i hate womens health… how have none of you doctor freaks figured out what causes endometriosis by now

[gxlden-angels]

I hate hearing about the Quiverfull movement. I hate hearing about it politically. I hate hearing about it from people who don't know anything about it. I hate hearing about it from people who only know the Duggars. I hate hearing about it from people who grew up next to it, but not in it. I hate hearing about it from women stuck in it right now. I hate hearing about it from women who were stuck in it. I hate the Quiverfull movement and I hate hearing about it.

For almost 4 years, everyday, I have been unknowingly taking Misoprostol compounded into my Diclofenac in order to protect my stomach from ulcers (that's a risk of long-term use) and no one thought to mention that my vulvodynia and vaginal cramps, as well as rectal mucus (an anon on here called me an omega and I am constantly haunted by that) are all just potential side effects. It can also increase menstrual bleeding, so yippee for my endometriosis. And since it can cause uterine contractions, hence the off label abortion use, is this why my 3 month iud catastrophe was so terrible???

[cookinguptales]

my current mental image is of a person hitting their ceiling with a broom like QUIET DOWN UP THERE except the ceiling is my uterus and the loud party is endometriosis and the broom is this edible that is about to make things very, very chill
