that makes so much sense!!! they put me on progesterone after my hospitalization to stop my period while they dealt with the pulmonary stuff so I could have the permanent procedure (uterine embolization, 10/10 recommend) and it truly was like a dark cloud lifting I can only see now looking back

I know we both hate unsolicited internet medical advice but I will say, just because it’s a procedure a lot of people with haunted uteri aren’t told about as an option, I have adenomyosis and wasn’t able to have surgery so they did an embolization which is non-invasive (15 min outpatient)

That may have been an ablation rather than embolization.

Did you know that embolization can stop internal bleeding or shrink tumors, all without open surgery? This minimally invasive technique is changing how we treat complex conditions across the body. Watch my short public health video to learn how it works!

I wish I'd done a full yeet. I oped for artery embolization, and while it WORKED, the amount of pain I'd be in after was very much downplayed by the doctor.

noooooo, what???? really??? like trans people don't suffer enough????? that just feels so unfair lmao
I was excused from menstruation with a doctor's note three years ago (aka had a uterine embolization because that thin was trying to kill me) and I truly believe every woman deserves this freedom

I didn't think to ask for one for the biopsies. After the embolization, the pain was so bad that the nurse somehow got me on 3 mg/hr of Dilaudid and I spent the next 18 hours gloriously out of my head.
