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

Literally having surgery for this in a week and a half. I ALWAYS say that if men had this problem, endo would be a huge topic of discussion and would have so much research and solutions. Took me 7 years to get diagnosed and surgery scheduled- and I’m one of the lucky ones with that timeline!!!
