Specialist showed me the images she took during excision surgery
I (F17) have no idea if this is a normal practice, but I was so in awe! My uterus, ovaries, and insides look like that?! And I get to see them?! I’m five days post-op and I don’t think I’ve smiled that hard since I was under lol!
I’m a very very squeamish person, (even passing out during one of our pre-op visits lol!!), but somehow my intestines just amazed me! I feel so lucky to have been able to seen what my anatomy looks like in real life, not just images in textbooks.
She went through every image and explained everything she found, what was in the image, and used easy language. Still waiting on results from pathology, but the “suspicious tissues” she found and evidence of chronic inflammation are making me feel less like an imposter lol.
Has anyone else felt this way about being able to see their own body?
