Hei Mtsikana: Simuyenera Kukhala Ndi Zowawa Zazaka Zazaka

Okondedwa Owerenga,

Ndikukulemberani za zowawa. Osati ululu uliwonse, koma ululu womwe anthu ena anganene kuti ndi wabwinobwino: kupweteka kwakanthawi.

Kupweteka kwakanthawi sikuli kwachilendo, ndipo kunanditengera zaka 20 kudziwa izi. Ndili ndi zaka 35, ndidazindikira kuti ndili ndi endometriosis, matenda omwe samapezeka mosavuta ndipo nthawi zambiri akatswiri azachipatala amasowa.

Pazaka zanga zakusinkhuka, ndinali ndi zipsinjo zoyipa kwambiri zanthawi, koma anzanga, abale, komanso madotolo adangonena kuti ndi "gawo lokhala mkazi" Ndinkasowa sukulu miyezi ingapo iliyonse kapena ndimapita kwa namwino kukafunsa ibuprofen. Anzanga amafotokoza momwe ndimawonekera potuluka ndikachulukitsidwa chifukwa cha ululu, ndipo ana ena amandinong'oneza.

Mu 20s, kupweteka kudakulirakulira. Sikuti ndimangokhala ndi zipsinjo, komanso msana wanga wam'munsi ndi miyendo imandipweteka. Ndinatupa ndipo ndimawoneka ngati ndinali ndi pakati pa miyezi isanu ndi umodzi, ndipo matumbo adayamba kumva ngati magalasi osweka akuyenda m'matumbo mwanga. Ndinayamba kuphonya ntchito zambiri mwezi uliwonse. Nthawi zanga zinali zolemetsa kwambiri ndipo zimatenga masiku 7 mpaka 10. Mankhwala owonjezera pa-kauntala (OTC) sanathandize. Madokotala anga onse ankandilangiza kuti zinali zachilendo; azimayi ena amangovutikira ena.

Moyo sunali wosiyana kwenikweni m'ma 30s anga, kupatula kuti ululu wanga udakulirakulira. Dokotala wanga komanso mayi wazamayi sanawoneke okhudzidwa. Dokotala wina mpaka anandipatsa chitseko chozungulira cha mankhwala oletsa ululu chifukwa mankhwala a OTC sanagwire ntchito. Ntchito yanga idawopseza kuti andilanga chifukwa ndinkasowa tsiku limodzi kapena awiri mwezi uliwonse ndikunyamuka kapena ndikunyamuka msanga kuti ndipite kunyumba. Ndidathetsa masiku chifukwa cha zizindikirazo, ndipo ndidamva kangapo kuti ndimachita zabodza. Kapena choyipa, anthu amandiuza kuti zonse zili m'mutu mwanga, zinali zama psychosomatic, kapena ndinali hypochondriac.

Moyo wanga masiku angapo mwezi uliwonse kunalibe. Ndili ndi zaka 35, ndinapita kukachitidwa opaleshoni kuti ndikachotse chotupa cha dermoid cyst chomwe chimapezeka pa ovary yanga. Tawonani, dotolo wanga atangonditsegula, adapeza zotupa za endometriosis ndi zilonda zam'mimba m'chiuno mwanga. Anachotsa zonse zomwe angathe. Ndinamva kukhala wodabwitsidwa, wokwiya, wodabwitsidwa, koma koposa zonse, ndinadzimva wotsimikizika.

Patatha miyezi 18, ululu wanga udabwerera ndikubwezera. Pambuyo pa miyezi isanu ndi umodzi yophunzirira kulingalira komanso kuchezeredwa ndi akatswiri, ndidachitidwanso opaleshoni yachiwiri. Endometriosis inali itabwerera. Dokotala wanga wochiritsira adazibwerezanso ndipo zisonyezo zanga zakhala zikutha kuyambira pano.

Ndinadutsa zaka 20 ndikumva kuwawa, ndikudzimva kuti ndine wotsalira, wonyozeka, komanso wokayika. Nthawi yonseyi, endometriosis idakula, idandisangalatsa, idakulirakulira komanso yandizunza. Makumi awiri zaka.

Chiyambireni kupeza kwanga, ndapanga kukhala chidwi changa komanso cholinga changa chofalitsa za endometriosis. Anzanga ndi abale anga akudziwa bwino za matendawa komanso zizindikiro zake, ndipo amatumiza anzanga ndi okondedwa anga kuti andifunse mafunso. Ndidawerenga zonse zomwe ndingathe, ndikulankhula ndi azimayi anga nthawi zambiri, ndilemba za blog yanga, ndikukhala ndi gulu lothandizira.

Moyo wanga tsopano uli bwinoko, osati kokha chifukwa chakuti kupweteka kwanga kuli ndi dzina, komanso chifukwa cha anthu omwe awabweretsa m'moyo wanga. Nditha kuthandiza azimayi omwe akuvutika ndi ululu uwu, kuthandizidwa ndi azimayi omwewo ndikawafuna, ndikufikira abwenzi, abale, komanso alendo kuti ndidziwitse. Moyo wanga ndilemera chifukwa cha izi.

Chifukwa chiyani ndikulemberani zonsezi lero? Sindikufuna mkazi wina kuti apirire zaka 20 monga momwe ndinachitira. Amayi m'modzi mwa amayi 10 padziko lonse lapansi amadwala endometriosis, ndipo zimatha zaka 10 kuti mayi adziwe kuti ali ndi matendawa. Kutalika kwambiri.

Ngati inu kapena munthu wina yemwe mumamudziwa mukukumana ndi zotere, chonde pitilizani kukankhira mayankho. Onetsetsani zizindikiro zanu (inde, onse) komanso nthawi yanu. Musalole kuti aliyense akuuzeni "ndizosatheka" kapena "zonse zili m'mutu mwanu." Kapena, zomwe ndimakonda: "Zachilendo!"

Pitani kwa malingaliro achiwiri kapena achitatu kapena achinayi. Kafukufuku, kafukufuku, kafukufuku. Limbikirani kuchitidwa opaleshoni ndi dokotala woyenerera. Endometriosis imangodziwikanso kudzera pamawonekedwe ndi biopsy. Funsani mafunso. Bweretsani makope a maphunziro kapena zitsanzo kupita kukaonana ndi dokotala. Bweretsani mndandanda wa mafunso ndikulemba mayankho. Ndipo koposa zonse, pezani chithandizo. Ndinu ayi ndekha mu ichi.

Ndipo ngati mungafune wina woti muzilankhula naye, ndili pano.

Mulole inu mupeze kutsimikiziridwa.

Wanu,

Lisa
