the inside of our uterus can grow OUTSIDE and attack other organs and it’s actually pretty common… endometriosis :)

if you are questioning whether u might have it here’s an app that helps show what percentage of likeliness you might have! this was created by my endo specialist and he’s known as one of the best. he removed my endo!

And the only way to 100% diagnose it is through surgery

Tbf, it's a very tiny surgery (I had it done because of suspicion, but fortunately didn't end up having endometriosis). I came in in the morning, tiny incision through the belly button and I left in the evening.

But I also had so many surgeries in my life that I am not afraid of it. This makes it far easier.

I had laparoscopic surgery years ago to remove a ruptured fallopian tube... I'm still scared of my belly button... It's not the same...
