LOH Contest #181: Compleja experiencia [ENG/ESP]
Hello everyone in the Ladies of Hive community! Today I join the contest of the week #181, which touches on some delicate topics that as women we have witnessed, experienced or know through someone else's story. So this is my entry to participate, let's get started!
About two months ago I started medical treatment to try to relieve the pain that each menstruation causes. I suffer from Endometriosis and if menstrual pains are strong, long-lasting and uncomfortable in any woman, with this condition the issue intensifies. Making practically what 4 weeks a month can have, two of those weeks are only dedicated to the "preparation and arrival" of this state. I started taking birth control pills again to regulate hormones and send "signals" to the endometrium so that it can perform its function correctly. My explanation is not very exact since I am not a doctor, but that is more or less what my doctor told me. I am doing this entire process in search of not only well-being/quality of life, but because surely if this issue is not resolved I could become sterile due to damage to the endometrium. Something that really alarmed me.
In these last two years I have felt a strange pressure towards me because I had previously received a similar treatment to attack Endometriosis and a tumor I had in my left ovary. Luckily, the tumor was eliminated thanks to the previous treatment and now all that remains is to treat the Endometriosis. However, I cannot help but feel that the cost of following a treatment to the letter is difficult because it leads to feeling some side effects with more or less impact on me day to day: dizziness, nausea, irritability, breast tenderness, stained with blood (from one moment to the next), tiredness and so on. Something that definitely makes me think which thing is worse; whether the disease or the remedy.
¡Hola a todos en la comunidad de Ladies of Hive! El día d hoy me uno al concurso de la semana #181, el cual toca algunos temas delicados que cómo mujeres hemos presenciado, vívido o conocemos a través de la historia de alguien más. Así que está es mi entrada para participar ¡comencemos con ello!
Hace unos dos meses comencé con un tratamiento médico para tratar de aliviar los dolores que me provoca cada menstruación. Sufro de Endometriosis y si de por sí los dolores menstruales son fuertes, duraderos e incómodos en cualquier mujer, con este padecimiento la cuestión se intensifica. Haciendo prácticamente qué de 4 semanas que puede tener un mes, dos de esas semanas solo sean dedicadas a la "preparación y llegada" de este estado. Comencé a tomar de nuevo pastillas anticonceptivas para regular las hormonas y mandar "señales" al endometrio para que pueda cumplir su función correctamente. No es muy exacta mí explicación pues no soy doctora, pero eso es más o menos lo que me ha dicho mí medico. Todo este proceso lo estoy haciendo en búsqueda no solo de bienestar/calidad de vida, sino porque seguramente de no resolver este asunto puedo quedar estéril debido al daño en el endometrio. Algo que realmente me alarmó.
He sentido en estos últimos dos años una presión extraña hacia mí pues anteriormente había recibido un tratamiento similar para atacar la Endometriosis y un tumor que tenía en mí ovario izquierdo. Por suerte, el tumor fue eliminado gracias al tratamiento anterior y ahora solo queda tratar la Endometriosis. Sin embargo, no puedo dejar de sentir que el costo de seguir un tratamiento al pie de la letra es difícil pues conlleva a sentir algunos efectos secundarios con más o menos impacto en mí día a día: mareos, náuseas, irritabilidad, sensibilidad en pechos, manchados de sangre (de un momento a otro), cansancio y demás. Algo que definitivamente me pone a pensar que cosa es peor; si la enfermedad o el remedio.
My pressure lies in the fact that sometimes I don't know if I'm doing it right, if I should take another route, because even though I'm healing one thing, I feel sick because of something else (birth control pills). So, since this is not something new (being in trouble for issues that have to do with being a woman), I have decided to continue with the treatment and simply pray that I have the courage so that it does not affect me as much as it could. I rely a lot on my partner to find emotional and physical relief. And although he is not there to console me, I try to do a mental exercise where I see myself as very healthy and capable of resisting anything that comes. Like telling myself "we've already been through worse, we can handle this and more." Basically keep going despite the circumstances.
Now in the future, if I find with my doctor that the treatment is counterproductive, then it will be changed for another and so on. It has a solution, since the idea is not to accept something for the sake of accepting it. "Fight to Fight." It is also good to realize when something is not worth it and sometimes I have sinned in that because I can become very foolish. Determined to make things happen. Finally, my friends, being a woman can sometimes be a challenge due to all the conditions that nature gave us. However (as I read at some point), I try to enjoy that part of me (menstruation) by making peace with my body. Without further ado, thank you very much for stopping by.
Mí presión radica en que a veces no sé si lo estoy haciendo bien, si debo tomar otra ruta a seguir, ya qué aunque este sanando una cosa me siento enferma por otra cosa (las pastillas anticonceptivas). Entonces, cómo esto no es algo nuevo (estar en aprietos por cuestiones que tienen que ver con ser mujer), he decidido seguir con el tratamiento y simplemente rogar por tener el temple para que eso no me afecte tanto como podría. Me apoyo mucho en mí pareja para encontrar alivio emocional y físico. Y aunque él no este para consolarme, yo trato de hacer un ejercicio mental dónde me veo a mí misma muy sana y capaz de resistir cualquier cosa que se venga. Cómo diciéndome a mí misma "ya la hemos pasado peor, podemos con esto y más". Básicamente seguir adelante a pesar de las circunstancias.
Ahora en un futuro, si encuentro junto a mí medico que el tratamiento es contraproducente, entonces se cambiará por otro y así. Tiene solución, pues tampoco la idea es aceptar algo por aceptarlo. "Luchar por Luchar". También es bueno darse cuenta cuando algo no vale la pena y en eso a veces he pecado porque me puedo volver muy necia. Empeñada en que se den las cosas. Finalmente amigas mías, ser mujer a veces puede ser un reto por todas las condiciones que la naturaleza nos otorgó. Sin embargo (cómo en algún momento leí), intento disfrutar esa parte de mí (la de la menstruación) cómo haciendo las paces con mí cuerpo. Sin más que decir, muchísimas gracias por pasar por aquí.

I understand you going through a lot Sis, its unique to every woman. I would rather advise you see a health specialist. Its sufficient to cause depression. I wish you the best of the new week.
Hopefully the doctor will find a way to assist in control of pain linked to Endometriosis, extreme cases surgical intervention is required.
