  • I’m also getting sterilized because of Trump. A hysterectomy specifically.

    I have endometriosis and the only thing keeping it relatively at bay is birth control. My specialist decided that a hysterectomy is “medically necessary” at this point for the “debilitating pain” that I’m in. My specialist knows how to play the insurance game.

    My endometriosis isn’t back with a vengeance yet. My doctor just knows that getting this procedure done is vital because of how things are going in regards to reproductive rights.

    If I start having periods again and my endometriosis goes untreated, I won’t be able to work at all. The pain and blood loss is too great for me to function. My doctor knows this and expedited the surgery as much as she could. It’s not until July, but apparently there’s been a lot of women “needing” hysterectomies lately, which is why my doctor is booking so far out. I hope every person who needs a hysterectomy can get the treatment they need and deserve.
