A little more Endo awareness

We know that many women, and persons, are missed & dismissed when it comes to endometriosis. It's one of things I really get angry about.
But while there are inadequacies in the healthcare profession when it comes to endometriosis, not all mismanagement can be blamed on healthcare professionals.
There are people who are not seeking proper help soon enough, and some not at all, and this can lead to long-term complications too. There are always reasons for that, and I get all the reasons, I really do. Unfortunately without proper help, this then just creates one hell of a mismanaged cycle that does not help anyone.
But as an Endometriosis Expert, what has prompted me to do this post is so that all concerned get to know what the serious side of mismanaged & unmanaged endometriosis is.
There is no doubt that this disease can be very devastating for anyone who has it, but what happens in the worst cause scenario, if it is not managed properly.
The following can be serious complications of unmanaged endometriosis:
Ruptured ovaries
Ovarian torsion
Obliterated fallopian tubes
Ruptured endometrioma
Pelvic infection/Pelvic pain
Obliteration of the pelvic cavity
Peritonitis
Sepsis
Obstructed/perforated bowel
Torsion of the bowel & intestines.
Bladder obstruction
Painful bladder syndrome
Multiple organs adhered together
Other organs damaged
Cardiovascular events
Stroke
Chronic nerve pain
Chronic musculosketal, or spinal pain
Chronic Migraine
Malignancies & cancers
Recurrent miscarriage
Permanent infertility
Opioid dependency & addiction
Psychotic disorders
Suicidal ideations.
Death (rare from endometriosis directly, but can be from associated factors related to endometriosis)
This is why endometriosis needs to be managed properly, and managed by a healthcare professional that is an expert in the management of endometriosis and associated symptoms. There are people who can, and will help you.
