From the Cleveland Clinic:
“Is adenomyosis a serious problem?
Is adenomyosis a serious condition? Adenomyosis doesn’t usually cause any serious complications. It can lead to difficulty conceiving or miscarriage. The symptoms it causes can disrupt your daily life.”
On what fucking planet
IN WHAT UNIVERSE
Does miscarriage, difficulty conceiving, and disruption to daily life, NOT indicate a serious problem?
What the actual fuck
The Mayo Clinic also says it’s NBD:
“Complications. If you often have prolonged, heavy bleeding during your periods, you can develop chronic anemia, which causes fatigue and other health problems. Although not harmful, the pain and excessive bleeding associated with adenomyosis can disrupt your lifestyle.”
Don’t worry guys since it’s coming from a woman, heavy bleeding isn’t harmful!
EDIT: turns out, anemia can kill you:
" Untreated anemia can be life-threatening and can even cause death. Anemia results in a decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. In the short term, the body can compensate with an increase in heart rate and respiratory rate. If left untreated, anemia can cause multi-organ failure."
(I’ve added this because a commenter has told me that since I won’t die, I shouldn’t be complaining, until I have something"better" like diabetes)
Fuck youuuuuuu Mayo Clinic
Aside from anemia, pain, fatigue, excess pressure on internal organs, and premature fetal eviction, there’s research that suggests people with this condition are at higher risk of cancer. Being in high levels of pain also increases inflammation and high cortisol which, guess what, is also not great.
So
If you’re bleeding a lot, crying in pain, vitamin deficient, have bone crushing fatigue, can’t reproduce, and you’re so stressed you can’t see straight and you have a uterus? Stop being so dramatic apparently
