A few months ago actress Gabrielle Union was featured on the Doctor Oz show. Where she bravely revealed her battle with infertility. After suffering many miscarriages she later found out she had
adenomyosis. Which could have been the underlying cause of her miscarriages and infertility.
Adenomyosis is very similar to endometriosis. Except the endometrium breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus. Basically fusing itself to the uterine wall. Cases of he disease often end in a hysterectomy. Due to the fact that it can't just be removed by excision unlike endometriosis. It can also cause infertility. Which is exactly what's going on with Gabrielle Union.
I am elated that she has been transparent about her struggles as a woman. We need more women to be open about gynecological conditions. In hopes to end the stigma that exists surrounding women health conditions. I believe that if we have to be more open about what we are experiencing. Whether it's pain, infertility, hormonal imbalances, stress, then maybe we can find more answers and supporters to advocate for us. So that the young girls now, who may go through this can have quick and accurate diagnosis and better treatment options. Subscribe to be noticed of new posts!
