A woman who suffered intensely painful periods for about 20 years was finally diagnosed with a detective disease – helping to clear a mystery that began to injure her even before she became a teenager.
Jen Moore, 35, a former wedding cake, said she was unable to get up when she began to experience painful periods as a 11 -year -old girl.
She said doctors placed her on birth control pills in an attempt to reduce her periods, according to the SUMS news agency – but that did not relieve her pain over the years.
She was informed by doctors that what she was experiencing was “normal”, she told the news agency “and that she was only someone who was” unfortunate “to have painful menstrual periods.
But when blocking Covid, when she came out of contraceptives after 22 years, she said “did not know the person who became” and would often pass from pain and blood loss.
When she went to a doctor because of her menstrual pain and had an ultrasound, she was told that no endometriosis had been discovered, she told sins.
Not satisfied, Moore, from Cambridge, England, paid for himself to make a MRI scan.
It was eventually diagnosed with endometriosis and adenomyosis, conditions in which the uterine lining grows in places where it should not be.
Said Moore, “At the time, I thought it was normal because I didn’t know otherwise.”
When she was young, she said, her mother took her to see the doctors – and Moore said she was told that her painful periods would eventually stop.
She said doctors told her that even if there was endometriosis, “all they would do is put me in the pill.”
She also said that today she still feels “rage” with what happened to her.
“I also feel angry,” she told Swns, “thinking of myself as an 11-year-old who had no idea she was about to pass so much of these things.”
She added, “I feel hope that generations are standing up and that they do not want to tolerate this anymore.”
However, “I think it doesn’t have to fall to the patients to do it,” she also said.
Moore said that even now, she feels “exhausted” and that “it’s not an area of my life” that this has not touched.
She said that although there were painful periods for so long, she wanted to go to college and try to live as normal as possible as possible, “despite being bonded” for about a week every month .
She has learned, she said, that she has endometriosis in the intestines and bladder “” is again everywhere, it is just ruthless. “
She said she had “this condition by damaging her organs for 22 years – this is a lot of harm to not disappear, so operations are never magic and [don’t] Always provide a painless life. “
“Unfortunately,” she said, “there is still a lot of endometriosis for me.”
Janet Lindsay, Director General of Women’s Welfare, told SWNS, “Endometriosis is a condition that affects the lives of many women, often for years before making a diagnosis – for a long time, women’s pain has been discarded or misunderstood. ”
There is an “urgent need,” she said, “for greater awareness, early diagnosis and better support for those who live with the condition.”
Last year, convinced Irwin, the daughter of the late Steve “Crokodile Hunter” Irwin, discussed her recovery from surgery after a diagnosis of endometriosis.
Irwin, 26, said her “inevitable” pain was rejected by doctors for 10 years while she was tested for all types of diseases.
“I were tested for everything,” Irwin told People magazine last summer. “Disease any tropical disease, Lyme disease, cancer, you name it. I had every blood test and imaginable scan. “
Endometriosis, according to the Mayo Clinic, is a condition “in which cells similar to the lining of the uterus, or endometrium, grow outside the uterus,” as the Fox News Digital reported.
“Endometriosis often includes the pelvic tissue and can wrap the ovaries and fallopian tubes.”
The condition can be extremely painful for those who suffer from it – and can affect fertility and menstruation.
