zambia reproductive health ?
​
I’m so tired of living in pain every month and I just want a hysterectomy at this point
I was diagnosed with PCOS now known as PMOS and I honestly feel so exhausted dealing with my periods. The pain is extreme before my period, during it, and even after it ends. It’s getting to a point where I dread every single month because I already know I’ll be in pain again.
People around me act like it’s “normal period pain” but this doesn’t feel normal at all. Painkillers barely help sometimes and it affects my mood, energy, school, and daily life. From the weight gain depression body dysmorphia I feel angry that I have to keep functioning while feeling like this.
Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about getting a hysterectomy or tubal ligations because I genuinely feel tired of suffering. I'm not meant to suffer in this world all the damn time!!! I know it’s a huge decision, especially at a young age but I just want relief and I'm not that young 26 yrs old isn't young . I want to know if anyone else has felt this desperate because of painful periods, fibroids, endometriosis, or other reproductive health problems.
I also feel like in my country women’s pain is often dismissed unless things become very severe. Imagine going to the doctor and he says wait till you have kids maybe we can start treatment like at this point I don't even want to think of having children and honestly I'm okay and with it I'll never regret having kids cause of why would I honestly want children when I have no desire to raise them we i guess just needed somewhere to vent because I’m frustrated and emotionally drained from it all.
