A Suite of Gynecological Problems towards the end of 2024
Between my two previous posts, I fell ill.
Bitch is Back
I bled for 21 days until I feared for my life (lol) and brought myself to the ER. It turns out that in addition to uterine fibroids, I also had Adenomyosis. I was admitted to the hospital for four days. I received two units of blood through transfusion on Day 2. The following day, I had a D&C to remove the excess tissue and fibroids. I went home the day after, and it was like nothing happened. This was in late November.
I've somehow recovered. I am no longer dangerously anemic. I have been taking an iron supplement.
My period began on Christmas day (what perfect timing!). I had abdominal cramps, but it was tolerable. I was also constipated, and I felt some pain when eliminating. Other than those, it was not much trouble. I still needed to use adult diapers, but at the very least, my period ended on the 31st, just in time for the New Year. I was glad not to spend the first day of the year all yucky and uncomfortable.
