NATIONAL PERIOD DAY!

   Today is national period day. While we have made some strides pertaining to our menstrual cycles. We still have a long way to go. From understanding that conditions like endometriosis or fibroids is more than just a "bad period".  To hopefully one day soon stopping the tax on women sanitary items. Happy National Period Day!

ENDOMETRIOSIS NEWS GABRIELLE UNION OPENS UP ABOUT ADENOMYOSIS

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!
