One of my close friends had very painful periods and nothing helped, in the end she got surgery to cut off the nerves. Just to put that on your radar if it isnt already.

yeah I've been trawling forums and it does seem like most ppl end up getting some form of surgery, but usually to remove either the tissues causing pain (if its fibroids/endo etc) or just whole organs if theyre not worth salvaging. didn't know nerve surgery was an option tho so that's smth to keep in mind down the line, thanks for sharing. hope your friend is doing better now 💛

#.asks #been reading some papers and seems like recurrence rates for endo pain are pretty high even within months of having laparoscopy #and getting a hysterectomy doesnt always help either since endometrial tissue can grow pretty much anywhere in the body #altho the early menopause helps some ppl. but then causes more problems for others. really it just seems like no one knows anything at all #abt reproductive health 💀#so far my plan is just to coast along on whatever drugs i can get hold of until i get access to diagnostic testing #and if that takes too long or they dont find anything ill prolly give up on that and try transition lmao. seems like t helps some ppl #but also makes it worse for others so who fucking knows. might be worth a shot #im agender and dont feel particularly strongly abt whether i come across as butch or transmasc its all the same to me #hormonal transition just seems like so much hassle in this country that i havent bothered seriously considering it as of yet #its that or a hysterectomy but i actually think itd be tougher to convince a dr to refer me for one when im only mid 20s lol #im sick of being constantly reassured of the importance of my fertility. even if i want kids someday im not gonna get pregnant ill adopt ❌️#going on a tangent... its ok im getting by. baking brownies & slow cooker prepping now so future me has smth nice for after work tmr #and then ill do my ironing and go to bed early im shattered #.diaries #this probably shouldve been a rb of my og post instead of in the tags of this ask but whateverrr
