Did you know that 6 to 9 out of 10 women who experience painful periods have endometriosis? That’s a big percentage! Endometriosis is a common condition that frequently affects women during their reproductive years. It is characterized by the presence of tissue resembling the uterine lining growing outside the uterus. Common symptoms of endometriosis include painful menstrual periods, pain with intercourse, painful bowels or bladder, and infertility. If you or someone you know is experiencing severe menstrual pain or other symptoms, it’s important to seek out help and consult with a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management. 🫶 #endometriosis #endo #endopain #periodpain #painfulperiod #pelvichealth #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicpain

❌ Endometriosis is not simply a "menstruation disease" 👉 it is a disease that can affect the whole body. A few more fast facts👇 ✅ Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the interior lining of the uterus, mistakenly migrates and implants in areas outside the uterus. ✅These implants respond to monthly fluctuations of hormones during the menstrual cycle. During this cycle, estrogen can cause this out-of-place tissue to grow, often causing severe pain. ✅ Symptoms are variable and broad, meaning that healthcare workers may not easily diagnose it. ✅1 in 10 women of reproductive age have it. ✅There is currently no known way to prevent endometriosis and no cure, making awareness all the more critical. #endometriosisawareness #endowarriors #womenshealthmatters #womenshealth

Vaginal prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the uterus, bladder, or rectum weaken, leading to a descent of these organs into the vaginal canal. Risk factors include childbirth, obesity, and aging. Symptoms may include pelvic pressure, urinary issues, and discomfort. Management ranges from pelvic floor exercises to surgical interventions, depending on the severity. Open communication with healthcare providers is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment, ensuring optimal quality of life for individuals affected by vaginal prolapse. #VaginalProlapseAwareness #WomensHealth #PelvicFloorHealth #ProlapseManagement #PelvicHealthAwareness #GynecologicalIssues #VaginalHealth #ProlapsePrevention #PelvicFloorExercises #LivingWithProlapse #WomenWellness #PelvicSupport #GynecologyCare #VaginalProlapseJourney #EmpowerWomen
