Endometriosis: Shared Perspectives

Endometriosis: Shared Perspectives

Whether you’re a health professional or a person living with Endometriosis, you’ll benefit from these evidence-based resources featuring presentations by experienced specialists and interviews with people living with Endo.

Endometriosis is a chronic painful disease but it can be effectively managed with varied interventions. What is the gold standard surgery? How should pain be treated? Can diet, physiotherapy or counselling help? What about fertility? How to relieve painful intercourse?

All these topics and more are covered in this suite of award winning videos - Prime Awards 'Best Public Health Initiative' and 'Sustained Excellence in Bettering Patient Outcomes'.

Supported by a grant from the Australian Government Department of Health.

EndoActive was founded in 2014 by Lesley Freedman and her daughter Sylvia. EndoActive represents the interests of women and girls with Endometriosis through Advocacy, Information and Awareness.

    Endometriosis can be effectively managed through Planet Ayurveda's formulation of Female Health Support, Pradarantak Choorna, Boswellia Curcumin. These herbal remedies are free of any chemicals or preservatives, hence, they restore hormonal imbalance.

    Let alone what the recent vaccines did to so many woman's cycles which were specifically targeted in those jabs. Get out of the allopathic system of not understanding nutrition and what the human body needs in the way of living foods that are not tainted with chemical toxins and totally denatured first of all. I am glad she realizes that surgery should always be a last resort.

    I think that GI involvement continues into menopause. Everyone seems to think that menopause ends endo, but endo is more than misplaced uterine tissue. Also it may be that having one or two genes for hemochromatosis encourages the uterine tissue to migrate in the first place. If you have a gene for hemochromatosis, having a period would prevent over accumulation of iron, but that protection will be lost at menopause. No reason that endo isn’t also more common in women with one or two copies of the genes for celiac disease as well.

    I had high hopes about mini pill Visanne, I start taking them after laparoscopy, my doctor thought they have less side effects then Diperheline. But it just made bleeding constant for a month and formed new cysts after the surgery so I was urgently put on Dipehreline and it helped enormously and even shrinked two small cysts that prolonged bleeding on Vissianne formed in just 40 days. From other side effect mini pill caused headache, nausea and mood swings. Dipherline on the other side was a perfect choice for me for 6 months I was pain free and beside hot flushes and skin dryness I did not have more serious side effects.

    BC forms of endo care can ease symptom, they do not treat endo, rather endo can progress further impacting organ and fertility. Endometriosis glands and stroma secrete, they do not bleed, bleeding comes from inflammation or leaking cysts, endometriosis lesions on path reports do not have blood vessels in them

    I suffered from endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroids throughout my teens, 20's and 30's. It was so painful and exhausting. It was also emotionally hurtful because my spouse did not understand in the least and had no empathy. I never felt less than a woman. He felt I was using the disease as an excuse to not have sex with him. It was the beginning of the end of our marriage. We need more informative videos and programs as this that could be a springboard for greater understanding between men and women.

    Can I get info link about the hormone suppression eluded to re the differences of the brain level vs. the ovary level? I've been on period suppression for almost 20 years. I've been on the "mini-pill" single hormone for maybe 2 years (I started having issued with period suppression maybe 7 years ago, but no complete period, only some breakthrough type stuff on the mini pill. But after gaslighting from doctors that I was just having "IBS" it's not obvious this is endo again and probably only resolving with laparoscopy. Re this great presentation, if I have the laparoscopy procedure, I may as well have the best combination of care since I'm in my forties now and won't be having bio children. My husband has fertility issues on his end, and my medical situation can't tolerate everything they do if we use medical intervention to get pregnant, so not worth it. We've been married ~12 years and explored possible surgical solutions and medical "menopause", and thank goodness the mini-pill worked. I have active PTSD and other issues like what is now long-term undiagnosed B12 pernicious anemia. The idea of drug based or surgical based menopause with those symptoms active in diagnosed less than a year ago was terrifying. Thank you,

    I've been taking a progesterone only pill for two years and it has helped IMMENSELY. 90 percent of my symptoms are gone and I very rarely get a flare up and when I do, it's very mild. I have stage 3 and i'm glad this has helped, however, I do not want to be on BC for the next 20 years of my life. I desperately want to find a more natural method of keeping my symptoms at bay. I was diagnosed through LAP at 27 and have only had to have one surgery total, but I didn't know about ablation versus excision beforehand so unfortunately, I had an ablation surgery.

    My leg just shattered beneath me after my gynecologist mentioned osteoporosis to me and how I should go off of my Depo injections. It’s only been since 2018. I couldn’t get back to see them and I’m in blinding pain. I knocked the insane amount of opioids, I have so many other health issues, so many issues, and I’m trying to sip vodka. There are so many side effects to many. I had no idea. Now I have $90,000 in hospital bills from trying to stand up and my bones breaking...major surgery...I’ll likely never drive again...be careful.

    I found out I had endo through laparoscopy in 2020. I was on the pill for two years and we are trying to start a family now, so I hope that works out. When I was 15 (10 years ago) I started having this pain accompanied with diarrhoea. I would only eat at specific times in the day and only things like cooked rice, steamed potatoes or carrots, or bananas. I lost around 40 pounds within 1-2 years and my parents did nothing about it, because I used to be chubby. To this day I do not know why I kept it from them that some nights I would stay up, sneak out and walk my dog for HOURS, because only fresh air and movement helped, along with starvation of course. Hope I’ll do better for me and my future family. Luckily my husband is supportive and non-toxic. Stay strong, we’re in this together ❤
