'To medical professionals we’re just another patient, but to people like me, endometriosis and its consequences torment us every single day. It feels like I’ve been left to suffer in silence.' ✍️ Phoebe Snedker writes for MetroOpinion
The only consolation I have had for my broodiness has been late-night scrolling through threads about broodiness on mumsnet My leg bounces as I wait for my name to be called, hoping that this month’s consultation will have better news than the last. But it never does.
The thing is, I have chronic pain, bladder issues, and as a result of my endometriosis, I’m in a chemical menopause.nauseating pain, heavy periods and painful sex began, I initially felt hopeful. I knew why I was in so much pain, and was optimistic that my condition would improve post-surgery. I’ve always known that I wanted to be a mother. Being the eldest of five means my maternal instincts have always been at play; from bottle feeding, to helping my siblingsKnowing my diagnosis may prevent me from having my own biological child was hard enough,
Being broody is hardly a conversation starter at my age, either. Just like my injection, a tearful conversation with my partner of almost six years seems to have become a monthly occurrence, as the isolation of menopause symptoms and broodiness engulfs me. Why do I feel so ashamed for seeking support for being broody at my age? In fact, why am I having to try so hard to find it in the first place?
Endometriosis is incurable, and so those with the condition will often require repeat surgeries to help control their symptoms when the endometriosis returns.– a diagnostic keyhole surgery which is currently the only way to diagnose endometriosis – in 2019, my initial symptoms have returned, as well as suspected endometriosis of the bladder, and so I am currently awaiting another laparoscopy to help treat my endometriosis and a cystoscopy, which will investigate my bladder issues.
