Sorry for the little break from a blog post! Today I want to talk about Endometriosis and bloating. THE JOY! Said no endometriosis sufferer ever.
Anyone who suffers from this debilitating disease or knows anyone who does, should know that one of the many awful symptoms is bloating. I've spent many days looking heavily pregnant for no reason other than my Endometriosis has decided to flare up.
Elasticated waist trousers have become my best friends, especially when the dream of skinny jeans is a very distant one! I am always genuinely amazed at how one day I can look like a normal lady and the next I'm looking like someone from the cast of Alien with a huge bulge protruding from my abdomen. Not the most attractive look I can tell you!
It's one of the most inconvenient side effects of endo I've found for me personally. Making it virtually impossible for me to a) like myself or my body and b) fit into any nice looking clothing whatsoever. On several occasions I've entertained the idea of buying MATERNITY WEAR. Lame! Baggy boyfriend tshirt and leggings are my daily go to and I'm sure many of you understand completely where I'm coming from!
One of my worst experiences with this was on my birthday this year. My boyfriend had bought me the most beautiful all over beaded dress and it was utterly gorgeous. After dancing for several minutes in an attempt to get it over my head I finally persevered only to pull it over my stubbornly bloated stomach to look 9 months pregnant and as though I could hulk out of the whole dress at any moment- in my determination to wear it I went out feeling like a sausage about to burst from its skin- definitely not a thing I'd like to repeat as I spent the whole night sucking my breath in an attempt not to explode at the table.
So why is this that this happens? APPARENTLY it's because of the inflammation caused by the adhesions and wounds inside. When endometriosis particularly flares up- you can expect at any point to look instantaneously with child, ironic considering the difficulties it causes us for that to ever be true! And to make it better, we only get condescended by "experts" who tells us to basically cut out all edible food from our diet.
So.. my options are- permenantly look like an inflatable balloon or starve to death in the hope that it will limit inflammation so that I don't have to look like the incredible hulk? It doesn't seem fair to me.
But endo isn't fair.
When I feel particularly sad about resembling Santa, I often look online at other women's endo flare ups which make me feel much less alone.
Here are a few I've found to be particularly insightful into what an endo flare up bloat can look like! (All photo's belong to the original owner)
I want to wear a sign that says I'M NOT FAT OR PREGNANT I'M JUST HAVING AN ENDO FLARE UP.
Anyway enough of my moaning! This was really just a post based on some of my recent experiences with the dreaded endo belly which I'm sure many of you can relate to! Even though we may get a little swollen and bloated sometimes, it's only because we're totally fabulous. Stay strong Endobabes and invest in some elasticated pants and trousers.
Until next time, sending lots of love and hoping everyone is having a pain free day!

Thank you so much for sharing something so very personal. I try to avoid dr's and will do anything not to go to obgyn. But I know I have endo and cyst .

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing. I was diagnosed this year with endometriosis. I actually found the page because I was curious to know why I keep gaining weight in my stomach.
ReplyDeleteAs a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from fibroid, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy wife suffered from fibroid for more than 20 year of marriage after our first son and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she had irregular and painful menstrual flow and the size of it was 5cm, and she always complain of stomach pain. we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and she left the contact of the doctor who had the natural cure to fibroid. I never imagined fibroid has a natural cure if not surgery not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it as instructed by Dr Williams, and in one months time we went to the hospital for scan and the doctor confirmed that there is no trace of fibroid and now she is fully okay, even up till this moment she is so full of life. fibroid has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get his medication.

Thank you so much for writing and sharing this. I have bad body image issues already and this literally made me cry. It helped me not feel so alone. I had cervical cancer at 22. A benign tumor on my left ovary at 23. OBGYN kept telling me I shouldn't be having severe pain. Got a second opinion. Found out I had Polycystic Ovarian syndrome and endometriosis as well as more tumors but this time on the right side at the age of 26. They removed my right ovary, fallopian tube, appendix, all the cysts, all the tumors, and removed mass amounts of endometriosis adhesions. I constantly hurt still and the odds are far from my favors of probably ever getting pregnant. Which stucks because everyone I know right now is trying, is pregnant. Or just gave birth. I'm happy for them but it hurts so much knowing I'll probably never have that. Sorry for the rant/vent on your post.
ReplyDeleteYour post has made me feel alot better about the bloating.

Hello everyone my name is Betty from Ohio and I want to share my testimony on how I got cured of my fibroid naturally after 8 years of suffering from this abnormal growth in my uterus. I have been married for 5 years and the fibroid has been hampering my ability to conceive. I have had this fibroid before I got married. I was told that since the fibroid is not affecting quality of my life, treatment may not be necessary. So I decided not to treat it not until I got married and it became even worse affecting my ability to conceive so I decided to look for a permanent solution. When I discussed it with a colleague at work, she told me that she knows a traditional doctor that can help me with his herbal medicines and I will be cured and be able to conceive. I decided to give it a try because I was afraid of surgery and that was the only option my doctor gave me since the fibroid is severe. So she gave me the contact of Dr. Sani, and I called him and discussed with him, he assured me that after taking his herbal medicines for 3 weeks that the fibroid will be gone and I can go to my doctors for checkup to confirm it. It sounded too good to be true but I went ahead and gave him a try, after using the herbal medicines for 2 weeks, all my symptoms disappeared and I told him about it but he asked to complete the treatments before going to my doctor for checkup. I completed the treatments and today I am so happy that my fibroid is totally gone and my son is 2 months old. There is nothing compared to the joy of motherhood.
