Useful info about IC & Endo 💙💛 #Repost @drtayahmed ・・・ Let’s talk about pee! Endometriosis patients very often have painful bladder syndrome previously known as Interstitial Cystitis. . Endometriosis and IC have been dubbed the “evil twins”. But not all women with endometriosis have IC. Because of the overlap of symptoms they are often diagnosed with IC before they are diagnosed with endometriosis. . . Endometriosis on the bladder can cause frequent urination, pain on ruination, urinary urgency and urinary retention. There can also be feelings of pain and pressure in the bladder area. Very rare but they can also have bloody urine. People are quite often treated for urinary tract infections despite having negative cultures due to similar symptoms. Interstitial cystitis is not caused by bacteria and can affect both men and women. Symptoms include urinary frequency during the day and night. Urgency, that is followed by pain, pressure or spasms. The pain can be located in the abdomen, pelvis, bladder, urethra or vagina. There are many options in treating the bladder symptoms, though not a cure. Some of these options include dietary changes (check out the IC diet), injections to relieve pressure on the bladder that may be contributing to the frequency of urination, medications, and different forms of therapy including pelvic PT and mind body therapy. . . 📷 @theladypatch #pelvicpain #1in10 #endometriosisawareness #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endocommunity #endosister #endowarrior #endosucks #endometriosisspecialist #pelvicpainspecialist #endometriosissurgery #pelvicphysicaltherapy #pelvicpt #pelvicfloordysfunction #silentillness #chronicpain #spoonie #chronicpelvicpain #painsomnia #constipation #sibo #interstitialcystitis #painfulbladdersyndrome

“I was left with mixed emotions; happy they found it, pissed off with my body and fearful about the future” Link to blog in bio 📝 #IC #interstitialcystitis #interstitialcystitisawareness #icwarrior #brokenbladder #invisibleillness #chronicpain #pelvicpain #bladderproblems #spoonie #blogger #endo #endometriosisawareness #endometriosis #laparoscopy #1in10 #endowarriors #endoblogger

How many times do you look in the mirror and start reeling off the things you hate about yourself? Fat arse, big stomach, chunky thighs, cellulite, stretch marks, jiggly arms, small boobs, bad skin, dry hair....sound familiar? ✨ One message I keep getting from therapy is to be kinder to myself. Instead of concentrating on the things I dislike, focus on the things I do like...my blue eyes, long eyelashes, smooth skin, small waist, beautiful tattoos. This list is harder to make but not impossible ✨ Don’t constantly put yourself down, you are worth more than all that negativity. You wouldn’t let someone else talk all that shit about themselves, so hold yourself in the same regard 💛 BE✨KIND✨TO✨YOURSELF

✨One Week Post Lap✨ My tummy is looking good 👍🏼 Feeling very tired and not up to doing much so thank God for Netflix 🙏🏼 The bloating won’t go away (I’m lying down in this picture). I’m taking Wind-eze tablets and moving around but it’s too hot to drink peppermint tea. Any other tips?! I feel ready to pop! 🙈 (Llama PJs are my fave 🙌🏼) #IC #interstitialcystitis #interstitialcystitisawareness #icwarrior #brokenbladder #invisibleillness #chronicpain #pelvicpain #bladderproblems #spoonie #blogger #endo #endometriosisawareness #endowarrior #laparoscopy #bloatedbelly #pepperminteverything

✨ Three days post lap ✨ Pineapple hair ✔️ PJs ✔️ Painkillers ✔️ Trashy TV ✔️ Boredom ✔️ Pain has been worse than I thought but it’s manageable & still early days. I’m taking my pineapple hair on a trip to the cinema tomorrow because I’m going insane being indoors 24/7! #IC #interstitialcystitis #interstitialcystitisawareness #icwarrior #brokenbladder #invisibleillness #chronicpain #pelvicpain #bladderproblems #spoonie #blogger #endo #endometriosisawareness #endowarriors
