"It seemed to me that someone stabs me a knife somewhere at the bottom, in the pelvis - says Ruth Forwood from England, from which the disease first manifested itself in 12 years. - When I was 13, I could not tolerate and went to a general practitioner. He listened to my complaints and said: "Girl, you're now becoming a woman, and this pain - the inevitable consequence of your growing up. You'll have to live with it! "
Ruth began to live. What did she just not tried - painkillers, heating pads with hot water, breathing exercises, patches, packs of menstrual pain - Nothing really helped. She graduated from high school, has to learn from the teacher, but the pain poisoned her life. Again she went to the doctor, and again he told her that she was "typical" for women. But Ruth want to check it again, it has made referrals to the gynecologist. "It seemed to me that I have a hormonal imbalance - says the girl. - A doctor told me that it was 99% endometriosis ".
As a result of the disease cells of the inner layer of the uterus (endometrium) grow outside of this layer. Begin monthly bleeding that leads to inflammation of the surrounding tissue, strong pain and even infertility. As a rule, the disease affects women 25 to 50 years, so that the case of Ruth may be called atypical.
After laparoscopy her diagnosis was confirmed. Surgery cost Ruth 4 000 pounds, but this procedure is not completely freed her from the disease - cell proliferation continued. Now Ruth takes pills - pills, which allow to keep endometriosis under control.
It recommends that all girls who suffer from severe pain and consider it "normal" to urgently check for endometriosis. Hate - it is dangerous to health!
