I can’t relate to this exact condition, but no matter how uncomfortable it may be it’s always good to get a second opinion from a doctor who may specialize in this condition. Even if you don’t want kids this minute, it’s a long term decision if you choose to go latter of the pain. A specialist may be able to give some pointers on how to subside cramps as well. ❤
Heidi
As a holistic nurse, mama of 5 whose also suffered with the evil cousin for many years(damn him grr),had an abnormal pap smear(which I was able to beal naturally & never had another abnormal one since) & one of your loyal supporters since 2016...my heart goes out to you queen❤️❣️.They said the same thing to me about a hysterectomy. ThankGod I didn't listen to them. My children are my ❤️. Even with the evil cousin, I was able to bring 5 beautiful treasures into this world(all natural home births). The pain was unbearable at times when shark week hit. I finally found a phenomenal naturopath who checked all my hormone levels and prescribed the most amazing natural herbs. Between that and bioidentical hormones, acupuncture, hyper baric chamber, IV nutrition..my pain every month was nonexistent. I have friends my age (48 yrs young haha) who regret daily their decision to get either an ablation or hysterectomy. The issues they have now are neverending(prolapsed bladder, bowel issues, accelerated aging to name a few)...it's heartbreaking. You need to do whats best for you. I just wanted to share my experience. Pray and ask God for wisdom and an amazing naturopath to help you through this. Ok..confession time...there might be a selfish part of me that was so looking forward to your adorable alphabunny mini me's😝🤣but in all seriousness this is a decision only you can make. A very serious one. Trust your instinct. Get a second opinion. Pray and ask God for wisdom. You're so loved, so brave..so amazing. Love you Queen😘❤️😘🔥🔥.
This is so encouraging. I hope she reads this one :)
I really missed these kind of videos! Good to see it again.
I hope you are able to take time to reflect on what is best for you, your health, and your family. I suffer from painful, extreme menstruation and have gone back and forth on the issue myself. Sending good vibes!
Loving the realness in this video! I'm a nurse working in a surgery recovery area and I say, get a second opinion! A hysterectomy is usually the last resort especially with you being of child bearing age still, definitely look into other doctors opinions and research other ways to help lessen the symptoms! I get ovarian cysts and birth control has helped me, unfortunately when I decide to stop birth control and have kids, the cysts can come back. It literally sucks being a women having to deal with all this but keep us all updated as you are not alone!!! ❤❤❤
You work so hard on your health Heidi! I hope you take some time to process this news, and relax a bit. From what I’ve seen, there’s a strong community for your condition. Lots of support and resources out there for you.
Take care queen!!
Very authentic you Heidi, loving this side of you lately. In tune with your self lately. lady boss in all aspects, much respected.
Love that you opened up❤ Sending lots of love! I had a biopsy 10 years ago due to an abnormal pap and now just had it again a few months ago. I hated the biopsy too, it’s so uncomfortable and painful afterwards. I don’t have your diagnosis, but I deal with chronic UTI pain 😢 I’m sorry you are having to process everything, but stay positive and do something for yourself to take your stress levels down.
Heidi I'm so sorry to hear about your diagnosis !! wishing you all the best as you navigate this!
Only word of advice I have is to PLEASE get a second opinion before undergoing surgery of any sorts! (Or multiple opinions)
I’ve had a biopsy from an abnormal pap, it was not fun at all 😖. Thank you for sharing this vulnerable part of your life with us. Wishing you all the best 💕
Agreed! Second opinions a crucial to making a decision that is best!
These down to earth vulnerable vloggy vibes are a TEN! Love that! I had a similar experience after having my baby girl I had an abnormal pap, everything came out back normal after my biopsy, still have to go every 6 months but I know that scary feeling! Thank u for sharing Heidi always making us feel included 💓
We need more vids like this! ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS VIDEO- day in the life stuff and workout videos! ❤
I am literally lying in my hospital bed right now. Had a hysterectomy Sunday due to a mass in my abdomen that was the size of a grapefruit. The wait was about 2 months which was agonizing. Praying for a positive report for you 🙏🏽
Same exact thing happened to me!! I'm now 4 years post hysterectomy and doing just fine :)
LOVE and miss your vlogs! But also so sorry to hear about this condition :(. That looked like a really hard day. You're 1000% allowed to have hard/bad days, you're allowed to give yourself grace and feel all the feelings, especially after going through all of that. Thanks for sharing that with all of us, honestly. I'm amazed you even went to the gym! I see so many amazing responses here. What an amazing group of strong ladies
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sure someone is watching having the same struggles. You’re the best !
I appreciate your honesty! I`d love to see more workout videos again. I also love to see videos about how to grow a business and how you develop difficulties within your journey ❤
Thank you for sharing this as I’m a women’s health advocate and yearly annual visits are so important! I know this will help just at least one person schedule a check up on their health ❤
Heck yesssssss. I'm guilty of skipping a few yearly visits in the past ahhhh😅 But no nmore!
I went through that about 5 years ago, the wait was scary and emotional! I’ve had about 3 more since but thank God the results are always good. Hope everything for you is great also! ❤
Thank you for being so open and honest in your video today, Heidi
Hang in there. You have a lots of fans that love u and praying for your health.
I love day in the life with also a workout in it! But I love all your videos! Your so inspiring & such a boss woman! ❤️🥹
I have endometriosis and had cysts on my ovaries too at one point. Eventually I had a laproscopy done and have medication that suppressed my system to reduce those endo effects. It's managed the condition pretty well for awhile now, but I'll have small cramps from time to time. Good luck Heidi and all experiencing this kind of stuff. We are so incredibly strong even when we don't feel like it.
I love these more vulnerable vlogs! I can see your more human side even if you are a Girl Boss you go through your own struggles. It's nice to know nobody is perfect and it's all hard work! Hope you find a solution and feel better.
Ahhh thank you so much. I struggle opening up sometimes to share struggles or more personal things....but at the same time I love being able to open up so we can all talk and share stories and help eachother! I've already had a few comments on here with helpful remedies...ya'll are the best❤️😭
@@heidisomers PLEASE LISTEN if you are really serious about this you will take vitamin B6 I really hope you try this❤
Had a biopsy last year because the found a tumor and wasn’t sure if it was cancerous, sat in the u known for 3 MONTHS!! It was scary!! I know the feeling. I stayed positive most of the way because I feel positivity in the body is always what it needs. Found out it was non cancerous. I’m sorry the end result for you love and sending all my love!! 💜
Thank you so much for sharing that and I'm so happy everything came out ok!
I have been a long time follower since the beginning!! I love your Q&a videos and day in the life videos!!
I loved this UA-cam of you so much… such a beautiful, real, raw side of you… positive vibes always BB you got this
I am so sorry about the diagnosis and I hope with the years to come the doctor can recommend some natural treatments or specialist treatments that can help during that time of the month. Appreciate you being open and honest with your following!! I truly am terrified of the doctors and applaud you for expressing your concerns with them to find the cause!
First, Love Buffbunny Collection!! Secondly, I was diagnosed with Adenomyosis last year. I tried the pill birth control but didn’t workout for me. Now I’m on the Mirena IUD .. no period bleeds!! Also, thank you for bringing awareness to this condition but it also helps to remind people to go get your annual physical.
So sorry to hear about this new condition! Hope you get the answers and relief you need. Loved this video i've missed you showing your workouts. I used to get so much inspo from your old videos on you tube when you used to always show your workouts. PS. since you showed the boutique... please please bring those exclusive marble duffels to online!! LOVED THOSE and i'm not local. I would DIEEE to get one :)
Heidi- ❤️ I am so sorry you’re going through this. It made me want to cry for you (legit). I know you’re going to be okay and hope you find comfort in the community ❤ love you girly!
Oh my gosh I’m so sorry to hear !! I don’t have any advice but thanks for sharing I’m sure that was so overwhelming
This was great! Cuz we all have down days so I think that's completely ok to share! I had a colposcopy last winter and they scraped my cervix and 😷 it just felt yucky lol I have to back this winter again. So good luck to you and your journey! All of us ladies deal with so much haha💕
The power of community! I hope the best for you. ❤❤❤❤❤ 🙏
Inspiring honesty, as always in these more personal vlogs. Even though you're a Boss, I can see that you have a softer side. You have your own trials to endure. The realization that perfection is impossible and that everything worth having takes effort is a relief. I pray you discover relief soon. Xo Heather Thrills
I had a hysterectomy exactly a year ago. My cramps were soooooo bad. They went in for exploratory surgery and I had fibroids alllllll over. I don't regret my surgery ONE BIT. You do what you feel is best for you!
I'm not a woman, contrary to what my wife says, but I wish you well in your journey of being pain free, you're a great inspiration to many!
sending you so much love and support Heidi
Healthcare worker here. I always rec getting more than 1 opinion just to be absolutely sure of the diagnosis and your options going forward. 🙏🏼
Omg, Heidi! That suuuckkss!!! I really hope that there is something that can help you long term!
Thank you for the kind words!! Thank God for tylenol lol🙃🙃🙃🙃
jeesus thank you for saying the condition! I'm calling my obgyn RIGHT NOW TO TEST FOR THIS! I've been battling this for years!
Yes! I'm having so many issues right now! I also have a ultrasound scheduled for in a few weeks! I have cramps and bloating almost 24/7 now and the doc said it could be a few things! Stay strong girl!!
I have endometriosis. I know it's not the exact same, but my periods are a nightmare. I have to make sure I'm in a safe place because I've passed out in public: at the gym, at school, while driving (well I pulled over in time) crossing the street... just awful. So, I understand the feeling of just hopelessness. I did have surgery a few year ago to get parts of it removed, but it did grow back a little and now my doctors are "waiting for more to grow" to talk about another surgery. I've never been told I need a hysterectomy, but I understand the frustration of not liking what your doctor is offering. Pain management is the name of the game for me. Sending so much love and support!💜
Love this absolute raw Heidi. That even if you are a "fitness influencer", you show the non-motivaded-hard-days. You are an absolute badass woman! 🔥
praying for you and hope you're feeling okay!
Thank you for being open and vulnerable!! I was recently diagnosed with PCOS, an over active pelvic floor and possible endometriosis. Im doing PT for the pelvic floor which seems to be helping but in order to control the extremely painful periods (and intercourse🙊) I had to stop consuming sugar free drinks and food, limit caffeine (i'v slowly reintroduced at the 6 month mark) and avoid foods that trigger an inflammatory response. For me that is dairy and gluten. It hasn't completely fixed the problem but at least now medications will help ease the pain and some menstrual cycles I don't even use a heating pad, which I never thought I would be able to do. Like another comment said I would def get a second and even third opinion. I love you Heidi and I'll keep you in my prayers❤
Heidi!!! I forgot how much I miss the way you used to do your videos with you carrying around your camera. Love love love it! Love you!! Praying for your health. ❤
Yes I have had abnormal pap smear and they took a biopsy and it is very scary I completely understand the panic and anxiety. I simply only had cysts and they were able to laser them off but since then I am higher risk for other things and it is scary 😮💨 I do have a child he's 16 so I have no want for any other children but I also do not want to hysterectomy so I can understand why that would be so scary for you! I have watched your stories for the last 6 to 8 years I was with you when you started Buffbunny and will always be here for you 😁 you have a whole community of people that want to hold your hand during these scary processes please reach out if you need anything and just know we all get nervous sometimes
Definitely look for a 2nd and even a 3rd opinion, and not just from traditional western medicine but from the alternative one too. There’s usually a connection between mental health, stress, and the physical symptoms we experience. Really hoping you get better! 🙏🤗
I'm so glad you said this. Energy energy energy!
True! I take iodine large doses daily! It works. And I do yoga and practice mindfulness.
I love your workout videos the best!!!
Love recipe and grocery shopping videos. And workouts of course.
I really missed these videos!! Please make more!!
I was diagnosed with this via a biopsy and just this last Friday had an endometrial uterine ablation. (I am 40 with 4 kids) . I am just not ready to get a hysterectomy yet and went the leas invasive route! Hoping it worked, 🤞🏻. Totally get the uncomfortable and heavy periods with cramping! It is honestly a relief hearing you discuss it because It feels like most dont! Hang in there, i hope you can find relief soon!
I understand you. ❤ I think the best is to educate yourself as much as possible on your condition and talk to different specialist and alternative medicine professionals before you had into a surgery. It’s a lot to think about so take your time and once you feel ready and comfortable with the direction you want to take, you will be okay. ❤
Heidi!! Getting a biopsy was one of my most unpleasant moments ever. I even requested a Valium before the procedure! Sending you lots of love.
I just recently was diagnosed with adenomyosis just a few weeks ago. I had never even heard of it before. However, luckily I don’t get severe pains from it. Praying you find something that helps your symptoms and everything is okay!
I used to have really bad period pain and wondered if I had something like that. Since having a baby it’s all changed. Periods are more regular and no period pain. Wishing you all the best 😘
I had my first abnormal pap a few months ago. Went in for a biopsy and they came back as precancerous cells so I had to have a leep procedure. After my leep procedure, one of those biopsies came back as cancer. It was in the early stages so I got a hysterectomy and am now cancer free! Pap smears are so important!!
I just love day in the life’s! Just record your day and take us with you!
Before you make any decisions, get a second opinion. Truly the best thing you can do for your health. I wish you all the best and love in your journey ❤️
I love the workouts and especially the nutrition. More nutrition videos!
I have the same condition (adenomyosis) as well. Diagnosed 4 years ago.
The cramping is horrendous.
I find during times of stress the symptoms are way worse.
I got the same advice of a hysterectomy- which at age 32 was not ideal news. I have not done it. I currently have a Mirena IUD which has helped with the cramping and bleeding.
I was recently reading about Uterine Artery Embolisation as an alternative to a hysterectomy that allows women to keep the uterus and doesn’t trigger menopause. My symptoms are still manageable right now, but that will likely be my next steps as I inevitably inch closer and closer to unmanageable pain.
I am adding you to my prayer list as you navigate this Heidi. ❤❤
Didn't realize I missed your vlogging so much! Thank you for being you! Sorry you're going through this! I had an abnormal Pap in '19 done by my General Practioner who referred me to an OBGYN who did a second Pap which also came back abnormal. Did a biopsy to find precancerous cells. Had a LEEP procedure done in May of '20. They did a Pap to check a few months after and I came back clear, only to have routine Pap last month to find it abnormal again... gotta love the uncertainty...
I just had a leep procedure a month ago, and I had cervical cancer but they removed it thank god! But they say it can always come back 😢
I just had surgery 3 weeks ago for a cyst stretching out my ovary and endometriosis! Definitely scary but it wasn’t that bad. Sending love I hope you find comfort in whatever you decide ❤
I’m suppose to go get my biopsy done to get diagnosed. And my 15 year daughter was just told that she might have it too.
I’m glad more people are talking about because I’ve dealt the with pain for over 10 year to always just hear it’s normal and I’m aging.
Sending you good thoughts and vibes!!
For being as young as you are I'm sure hearing that the tx is a hysterectomy is super scary. But if you want kiddos freeze your eggs ❤️ do what's the most healthy for you ❤️keeping you in my prayers!
I have had very bad cramps before i went into the change...this is scarry ...i think i will book my pap when i get back to canada...the only scare i got when i had my mamogram...i hate them the worst for i am a big chested girl and it really really is painful....Prayers to you Heidi...hope to see you when i hit up the aphaland gym for the days i am there....i love having a trainer...i did the best when i had one...big hugs...oh and ps PLEASE make sure your store at the gym is stocked with Large sizes🙏...lol...ill be hitting that when i get to the gym..💚💜💚💜.
Heidi I hope you feel better hun! I would definitely seek another opinion and look into treatments outside of the U.S! There may be something out there that is less invasive and a better solution for you. I am keeping you in my prayers ❤️
Come to Europe Heidi. Medical treatment is mostly low cost and very effective.
@@Jana-jy8yv I have been in Mexico for medial check ups and US too and believe me I trust the Mexican doctors better. If you can compare for yourself and if you have somehow some medical knowledge you will see the difference. I’m a dentist, my mom is a nurse. So I have medical knowledge and believe me I have seen the difference in knowledge and the way they treat you. Obviously you have to do your research to know where your going.
Being a women is super hard. I am proud of you for being vulnerable and putting your personal business out there. There is soooo many women who suffer in silence and feel like they have to be strong all the time. Being relatable is such a super power and although you look a certain way and have a booming business your just like the rest of us, still a human living a life! big hugs girly! Whatever decision you make will be the best one for you. I hope you find peace and comfort in your decision with your health. 🥰🥰 sending you all my love! I have suffered from abnormal cramping and found that not sitting for very long has helped the most. Never let that blood sit and clot. My gynecologist actually recommended that I take Naproxen or a spring to thin the blood.. it will make for a heavier period flow wise but it really helps with the cramps and the clots.... On a silly note tho, I thought it was funny when immediately after got your allergy shot you said "thank you" I did the same thing at my flu shot and was like.. wait that was such a weird moment... like I was thankful to get my shot and for my nurses time but on the other hand I didn't want or enjoy that either lol.
I don’t have diagnosed endometriosis, but as a nurse, I know I just may have it and planning on going to a specialist to get a confirmed/official diagnosis. Advil liquid gels, raspberry leaf tea, and electric heat pad during bedtime all help me! I think that if you want children, you should wait until after to consider a hysterectomy. I hope this helps! Lots of love 💕 🙏🏼
First of all....thank you for all you do as a nurse!! Secondly, THANK YOU FOR THESE TIPS! You are an angel. I hope everything goes well at your appoinement!!
UCLA has a new surgery….check it out
Not sure if you read each of these but hopefully you do :)
You and I met back in 2015, before IG was big big, and I subscribed to one of your original work out programs! Seems like forever ago. But anyway, I check in every now and again to see how you’re doing. I’m sorry you’re going through this. I recently went through a similar situation. I was on birth control from age 14 until this past year. I went off of it after our wedding in September 2021. Since then, my cramps have been HORRIBLE. It was to the point where it felt like my ribs were adhered to my lungs. I can’t work out, I can’t breathe, and I live on a farm so needless to say I need to be physically active each day or things around here suffer, literally 😂 I had a biopsy, an external and internal ultrasound, and an MRI. Before you panic, just remember that these things are actually normal, just not discussed openly often. There are things that can help before you jump to a hysterectomy. Try to take one thing at a time ❤️ thankfully I have a wonderful husband who is so supportive and helpful, and I’m sure Christian is the same. We are going to try some bloodwork to see if I’m infertile. And if not, we will try for kids before I reach 30 (I’m 29). If so-more severe options will be considered because the pain is so awful. But one thing at a time. Hope all these messages give you some relief. ❤️
Loved this video! Not that you’re in pain, but loved how you were showing real
Life. Honestly kinda gave me the old videos vibe when you filmed on your own! I’m sorry you’re going thru this, but if anything using your platform to spread awareness will be so helpful to women who follow you. I have always struggled with bad periods since starting my period at age 10, and after watching this, it’s making me realize that no, it’s not normal to feel like you’re dying from the inside out. I have a 3 year old and my cramps literally feel like my contractions did in early labor. Good luck and praying for you!
Heidi!! I grew up feeling so abnormal, my periods + cramps would literally feel DEBILITATING! It took me 12+ years to be properly diagnosed with Endometriosis after going through tons and tons of doctors. They told me the only thing I can do was either birth control or a hysterectomy. I ended up getting a laparoscopy/excision surgery where they removed as much of the endo as they could find. It definitely helped for the first year but as we know, it can grow back. I worked with a holistic specialist/nutritionist that helped me reduce tons of inflammation in my body which is a huge part of endo + adeno. I eventually want children and id love to have them myself if thats whats meant for me so id rather take the longer approach healing my body naturally -its a longer, tedious process- but you'll be able to get your body back! I truly dont believe removing your uterus is the end all solution!
I’ve heard great things about the Jovi patch! Use to have HORRIBLE cramps, endometriosis and pics runs in my family. I had a baby and now I’m super regular and I’m so much better
i just had a hysterectomy last year for the same condition, and i am 38. While the surgery took me a bit to recover i am SOOOOOOO happy i had the surgery, im fully recovered back to the gym and pain free!
I'm so happy to hear that ad I'm excited for you!!! ❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing that!!
@@heidisomers good luck with whatever you decide to do! It's a big decision, so make sure you weigh all your options and what's best for you in the long term!
You are an amazing little human! Love your content and all the buffbunny collection!
@@jtuck5725 yes! This is not a decision to be made on the gyno table the same day you get your results. At the age of 38 and after having kids, it’s not as bad of an option, although risky nevertheless. Heidi is still a woman that needs to pop her babies out first. Definitely would make sense to get alternative opinion from various sources first.
YAS 👏 I’ve had abnormal Pap results I’m in the process of getting that figured out as well !
It’s strange to see this because I literally experienced the same thing. I went in for a normal paps and got a call two weeks later that I have abnormal cells. I went in on the 26th for my second biopsy and received results today that I do not have cervical cancer. Going the past month wondering if I was going to need a hysterectomy or if they’d just be able to zap the area was stressful. It was joyful news but I also have a CrossFit competition in 2 weeks and these biopsy has detrimentally hurt my workout regimen. You can try to be as healthy as possible but there are some things that can’t be avoided.
It’s been a whirlwind but life goes on and you gotta keep going with it. Thanks for sharing.
The store is so gorgeous!✨💫✨
I’m sorry to hear you’re goin through this. My fiancé may have endometriosis and I just feel so helpless sometimes when her cramps are horrible. I hope all goes well for you! 🙂🙏
❤️❤️Great video as always. Thank you for sharing. I hope you get the answers you need answered to help you on your healing journey to a healthy happy internal balance 🙏❤️❤️Your body will tell you what it needs and the right time. Sending you loving thoughts and prayers
Loved this video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for opening up!! I’ve got endometriosis, I’ve had cervical cancer cells removed and also the endo removed. It was so scary, especially only being 20 when this happened. CBD definitely helps, surgery and eating anti-inflammatory foods as much as possible. Sadly they will both always come back as I have an autoimmune disease on top of all of that so by body can’t fully get rid of all the cells and issues. I’m not sure if maybe being on a specific contraceptive will help? I have the Mirena IUD and it’s been really helpful. Wishing you all the best ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh, Heidi, I’m so sorry about the biopsy and diagnosis. I thinkkk you and I are relatively close in age. I had a biopsy of a breast mass last month and - while not the uterus - that wasn’t fun either. Just the stress leading up to it was enough to cause me to shake and sob on the table. I agree with what I’ve seen some other people here say about a second opinion. As a medical provider myself, I am never ever offended if a patient wants a second opinion. In fact, I encourage it. And I hope you feel comfortable in making the best decisions for YOU re: management. Sending lots of love! Xoxo
You have been given a lot of great advice. I’m not a doctor yet, I’m in med school, but I’d recommend a second opinion and I’d HIGHLY recommend acupuncture.
I can relate too. Had tumors growing inside my uterus trying to grow out through my back for 3 years. Cramps were awful! Still are!
Oh girl so sorry!! Definitely good to get a second opinion to see if there are other options for you!
I had the same thing and I got the partial hysterectomy when I was 30. I didn’t realize how bad I felt until after I had it removed and I’m now 40 and I still have no regrets.
Hi girl. I’m sure my comment will get lost in this long thread but it’s crazy how much I can relate to you right now. I’ve recently had a biopsy on my breast rather than where you had it and it was terrifying. I completely understood you when you said “they took a. Sample out of me” (gags)…. That was ME. I was having a whole anxiety attack right on the table as they were doing it. I’m the end I ended up having a benign tumor which was great to know but horrible waiting process. I’ve recently found out that I also have to take allergy shots every week for the next 3-5 years and to see you do it made me realize we’re all just humans simply trying to survive. It’s wild to me. I also recently got a trainer for myself (although I’m a certified personal trainer) because sometimes it’s just hard. It’s hard to train yourself and it’s hard to simply feel motivated. I’m happy for you! Happy that you got up and showed up. And I’m happy it made you feel 100x better afterwards.
Thanks for sharing this video. I needed this today.
I use to beat myself up over not hitting certain numbers.
Then I saw a post that said, “if you’re feeling 100% and you give a 100% that’s great. If you’re feeling 60% and give 60%, that’s still 100% of what you have”. (Paraphrasing)
Especially us women. Our strength ebbs and flows with our cycle.
Next week your 205 will be in your grasp. 💜
I just went through all of it. I have adenomyosis too. Had to get a biopsy which thankfully came back negative. Don't want to do any surgeries so I'm taking birth control pills to help me with my menstrual cycle which has been all over the place, up to a whole month long too. I wish you a speedy recovery because nothing I've tried has helped me so far 😢
Pep talks with Heidi are the best.
Oh Heidi I'm so sorry. I have endometriosis and had to do the same including laparoscopic surgery. It's spreading to my bowels and THE PAIN IS AWFUL. They told me a hysterectomy too but I want more kids so I can't even think about it. The things that help me with flair ups is going gluten free and dairy free and other things that can cause inflammation in the body. I'm sorry you're going through. Much love to you, you're so strong!
I had a hysterectomy almost a year ago (I’m 38). It honestly was the best decision I’ve ever made, I knew, but didn’t really realize how much my life was impacted by painful, heavy periods. They were able to leave my ovaries so I did not need hormone replacement therapy, which I’m grateful for. My quality of life has drastically improved now that I’m not bleeding and in so much pain all the time :).
So sorry you are going thru this. I agree with the people that said get a second opinion. Than do what is best for you. I had to have a biopsy a few months ago. Definitely not fun. Everything on mine came back ok. Hugs to you
Hope all is well for you. 🙏 I had a biopsy last year on 6 masses in my uterus. ALL benign, thank god!! 🎉 5 years ago I had a surgery to remove 2 masses and thought okay it’s gone. I did research and made the best decision for my health after the doctor told me my issue only gets worse and I could develop cancer in my uterus. I was always in pain that radiated in my stomach through my entire back. Always had anemia and hated when anyone touched my abdomen because I was in constant pain. I had a full hysterectomy this year and never felt better. *Kept Ovaries and no more periods!! Yay! Had no clue so many of my chronic back and stomach pain stemmed from my uterus until I fell down and got a CAT scan for the fall and that is when the initial mass was discovered. Crazy how life works.
Heidi! I was diagnosed with Adenomyosis in 2017. I know there is no exact cure. But I went to a naturopathic doctor. It has saved my period cramps. They did blood work and tests on me to figure out the perfect diet and supplements for my cramps. My cramps used to be so bad that I would vomit and couldn’t get out of bed. This has saved me. I still have the condition but the last ultrasound I had, my obgyn had said my lining was looking a lot better. It’s been a journey for me.
Praying for you! It’s an emotional ride.
I did have abnormal paps, and had to get biopsies done. Turns out I had a very aggressive form of HPV, and had to get pre cancerous cells removed.
After two years, the same thing happened again, and I ended up getting a hysterectomy because of two reasons: 1. I haaaaate paps, biopsies, everything happening down there makes me gag just thinking about it and the uncomfortable process. (obviously also the risk of cancer considering they were very high risk strands). And 2. I already had my three precious babies.
I know we don’t have the same thing, but wanted you to know you’re not alone. Praying for you because it is emotional no matter what you choose. 🙏
We want more of these daily vlogs!!!
More what I eat in a days!!! And supplements please!!
I’ve had the most horrendous periods all my life and the pain was in another level. I was never diagnosed with anything. Probably because I just thought you had to put up with it. (I’m a lot older than you). I eventually tried the Mirena Coil. It changed my life. Stopped my periods an no more pain. I wish I did it years ago. Everyone will have different experiences with it but for me it was life changing ❤
