My friend had endo and she had a surgery to separate the lesions from her intestines, went on the anti inflammatory diet too, along with, destressing, healing crystals, possitive thoughts by her and her loved ones, and when she stopped "trying" to get pregnant and just had fun with her partner, she was able to bring a miracle baby into the world! 🙂 The diet also helped reduce pain from her rheumatoid arthritis. Honestly, I think every woman can benefit from that diet, I think it would help to regulate cycles and reduce PMS symptoms, especially when you combine it with reducing stress

My gynecologist told me I HAVE to be on birth control bc of my endometriosis. Ive on the pill for 10+ years now and I don’t want to anymore but I’m scared to go off bc the pill kind of helped manage some of the endometriosis. This gave me some hope!

Do you have to have herbs in the hot water for steaming or do you think it would be just as effective using just hot water? I would be concerned about irritants or allergies for some people, which is why I ask. Also, that’s for being so open and honest about your experience!!!

I've never tried steaming but it sounds super interesting. I do love raspberry leave tea for cramps. I also take primrose evening oil and a calcium/magnesium supplement. When I'm good about taking them I take way less traditional pain meds.

This was in no way too much information. Although being 66, I had period cramps a few times, relatively easy childbirth (1), also had virtially no menpause symtoms. Go for regular medical tests purely as a preventive messure. Am in fact quite fit and happy in life. Thanks partly to a vegan diet, eat a bit of fish and cheese plus minimalism life is enjoyable.

its not too much information. its just information that is important for women's health. which is not talked about enough.

Thanks for your help. I'm definitely ready to start eating plant based again. Every single time I incorporate the wrong types of food in my diet, the pain nearly sends me to the er. I'm lying in bed as we speak suffering debilitating pain. Thanks again.

It's about a woman dealing with several strange medical issues without much help from professionals- but it also discusses how much we really don't know about endometriosis and how what we think we know perhaps is not true, or not entirely true. It's medically founded. Let me know what you think if you do happen to read it!

My GP who recently retired was a real champion for me when I had an accident and had unexplained severe wrist pain. Some doctors and surgeons told me it was growing pains as I was 17. I ended up crying on the phone to my GP outside of a hospital after a surgeon told me that. My GP promised to keep referring me to different people until we got an answer. Well I ended up being referred for treatment to a surgeon who immediately realised this was a big problem and he booked me an appointment in a clinic with a specialist hand surgeon who diagnosed me by shaking my hand. He knew instantly what my injury was. Sadly I had lots of surgeries but couldn't be fixed but the point is I kept on and on until I had a diagnosis. If you know something is not right with your body you keep telling them until they find that one person who can tell you what is wrong and why it is hurting. Sometimes doctors say these flippant things like it's psychological to cover up the fact they don't know what is wrong or it is out of their area of expertise. I hope you get your answer soon and that there is something they can do. xx

With my old GP, anything that my family or I came to her with was always met with "it's probably just a cold" or "if it persists, come back and see me" (I already let it persist for 3 months before seeing her so I wasn't about to do that). So we stopped going to her and went to walk-in clinics or googled things instead and found out that "just colds" were strep throat and the persistent inflammation was polycystic breast disease (super common, yet she had no idea) caused by hormonal imbalance. You definitely need a new GP if you can find one

I have never met anyone who has such horrible periods as I do so this video was really helpful! I am going to try out the steaming but I also have a doctors appointment soon.

Trying it now. I’ll update you

This sas vert informative. What herbs do You use for the vaginal steaming?

This sounds somewhat similar to the low FODMAP diet, which my fiance was prescribed for IBS. I wonder how they directly compare to each other.

I can identify a little with this. I have polycystic ovaries, apparently it is common with bipolars so my psychiatrist requested I had the internal scan when I was in my early 20s. I’m not sure if it's the medicine that causes the polycystic ovaries as a different doctor once commented about a drug that I was on not being good for pre-menopausal women because it can cause PCOS. Anyway my GP thought it was a bit odd but agreed to do the scan and to his surprise I had "a bunch of grapes either side" his exact words. I’m on powerful medication for pain because of a very severe injury to my right wrist that has necessitated 7 surgeries. Anyway I assume this is why when a cyst bursts I don't end up in hospital as I see some people do. It is agony though for 24 - 36 hours, my GP says that is because it is roughly how long it takes for the fluid to be re-absorbed and the fluid really irritates until the body has mopped it up. It's annoying because you have no warning of when it will happen, the last one burst just over a week ago, you know exactly what it is because there isn't another pain like it and it is so low down as well. It also caused fertility problems, weight problems. It's just a general nightmare. As for vaginal steaming when Goop published an article on it doctors in the UK, male and female, were asked to comment and they were all really anti so I thought it was a bad thing. I think maybe because Goop focused on it as cleansing and the vagina is self cleansing. They said it could upset the natural bacteria in the vagina and cause problems. So I thought I was against it, but the way you describe it makes sense. You're using the herbs and warmth to help a muscle relax and we do that to the rest of our body if we're injured. I’m going to read up on this more, as you obviously haven't come to any harm as suggested by the doctors over here. Today I am off to the bank to change my surname back to the one I use here which is my maiden name. After an awful divorce which my ex has dragged out for an eternity by disappearing (I couldn't sell the marital home, had to let it be repossessed and ended up homeless last year) I feel the need to reclaim myself as a woman with my own birth name, not someone else's.

I am excited to learn more about this, and really appreciate you sharing. i understand this is all just your experience and you are clear that you want other people to research for themselves, just maybe the next time you find yourself speaking for experiences of others with cramping/uterine issues, consider opening that up to people who don't identify as women but who have those issues too. i don't consider myself a woman but am dealing with these same issues! so while it is really nice to see this being spoken about it does suck/is kind of surprising to find on your channel a conversation with language that is ultimately really exclusive. i love this channel and don't think your intention is to alienate your audience, so just wanted to say something.

I owe you and anyone in this position an apology sorry. My intention was not to be exclusive at all. If anything the wording reflects my own struggle to find and embrace femininity and by female bits in a way that feels authentic to me and not always in a traditional way society expects. Sorry again

@@JanellKristina everyone is learning and growing about lots of things all the time! your good intentions are stronger than clumsy words.

This video... freaked me out. Like, is the world trying to kill us? Very informative. Thanks.

For the steaming you could also sit in child's pose over the bowl. I only did it once and found it helpful, need to do it again.

this is genius I have to try it next time!

My last period started at 3am while I was out at the club, it was so bad that I didnt even care that I was lying in one of the stalls, on the dirty wet floor fro 10mins. So I totally understand your pain. I took so many different painkillers until I tried anti-inflammatory ones and finally got better but when it wears off...OMG!!! Thanks for this video, I've seen this vag steaming everywhere but Im gonna finally try it now cos I think you're a trustworthy person.

Menstrual cup is one of the cause of endometriosis. I just got diagnosed and I read some research where they say that the blood collected in the cup can move up and cause retrogate menstruation which in turn causes endometriosis.Though you're immune system should take care of the spiled blood but for some reason sometimes it doesnt and it ends up in endometriosis. I've been using menstrual cup for past 1.5 years only. Before that I Never had a an issue with my pelvic floor ever. You might want to reconsider the menstrual cup option.

What type of herbs did you use for your steaming. Please 🙏

I think where pregnancy comes into it is because you have less periods, so you don’t have a period for 9 months, therefore it could delay endo symptoms, for me when I was on the pill I believe it suppressed my endo, and now I have been off it for three years when was I started to have more trouble, that being said I do not personally recommend the pill for solving any problems, it always seems like a bandaid solution rather then healing root causes. Also have you trialled thc or cbd oil, I have been experimenting with both, I’m keen to see if there is improvement, both helps with inflammation, and the thc I’m keen to try as a pain reliever

When you say painful bowel movements do you mean like it hurts when the stool comes out or it hurts in your ovary area during a bowel movement? 2-3 days before I start my period I wake up dying in pain during a bowel movement. But all the pain is in my ovary area. I get drenched in sweat and I'm dying in pain. The stool/poop coming out of me doesn't hurt like I'm not ripping or tearing anything it just hurts in my right ovary area during the bowel movement. It only happens to me in the morning 2-3 days before I start my period. If I have a bowel movement at night it's perfectly fine.. And the rest of the month this doesn't happen to me. It's only two to three days before I start my period and it's during my morning bowel movement. Once I start my period, the painful morning BM doesn't happen. Of course I get horrible debilitating cramps during my period though.

Hey are you doing that yoni steaming daily? Please reply.

thank you! 🙏 🌷💓💓
