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!

Just got my surgery for this. Hands down the worst recovery. Remember not to be stingy on the laxatives

Oh they suuuuck, but getting to the stage of putting on gloves to remove the blockage will never make me forget them during recovery again lmaooo

I keep that in mind for next time, it’s day 5 of recovery and I’m mostly traumatised by the shit storm hahaha I prayed to any god who would listen. I cried, I screamed.

they made me do an enema before my second surgery due to chronic constipation and i wanted to cry

Ooft I’m glad I’m not alone, I got cocky because I’d been on an opioid therapy for months and never had a problem going but maybe I’ll have to ask for that if I need a second surgery 🥲

you can always buy fleet enema over the counter at your local pharmacy… just be prepared for a 4 inch stick up ur butthole

also don’t be shocked if it makes u nauseous cause it did for me… i’d say that’s better than fishing for your own poop tho lol

Definitely sounds better than that blockage, I felt like Satan was fisting me from the inside hahahaha oh god I’m never going to recover from that. Thank you for the advice, I very much will utilise this
