My girlfriend has endo; this is COMPLETELY new to me but I really want to be there for her. What are the things I should know? (+ a few general questions)
Hers seems to be somewhere between mid and high on the scale of how bad it is (probably closer to high), she had an emergency surgery a few years ago and that's how she found out.
Can/should she be drinking alcohol? Is this a case by case basis thing?... She doesn't generally drink but I know she would do it without saying something for me, and if she cant or shouldn't then I obviously don't want that. Same thing goes for smoking (Marijuana).
Are there specific foods/groups to avoid?...
On the question of kids, she's insistent that she can have them (she has no way of knowing that as far as my knowledge, she just really wants them) but there's obviously a chance that she cant.
I still want to be with her either way, and I let her know that I'm okay with it. Are there any potential pregnancy complications to be aware of outside of general fertility issues?
Maybe not endo specific, but ways that I can help her through it if she cant? I already told her that I'm fine with adoption but I know that that's just not enough mentally.As for the bedroom, she told me that she sometimes experiences some pains during or after the deed. Is there anything I can do to ease that or make it easier for her? She said its not a huge problem but still.
Anything else in general that I should know about this? Any other ways, just generally that I can be there for her? Huge thanks, seriously
