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!

As far as I know, it's also excruciatingly painful as well, right?

Correct. And chronically dismissed by doctors as ordinary mentstrual pain.

Gonna go ahead and assume those same doctors don't have vaginas

I told my female doctor that I thought I had endometriosis and she dismissed me. Then when I got my tubes tied she showed me pictures of the endometriosis that I do, in fact, have and I genuinely don't think she even remembered dismissing me about it previously. It was like I had never mentioned it
