The men going batshit crazy in the comments over this post are simple men who have zero idea what it’s like living with and managing a chronic, under-researched and dismissed disease such as endometriosis. I’m glad men are talking about it now. Privacy doesn’t matter here.

Examining Kate’s 1%

She has suspected endometriosis. This affects at least 1 in 10 women, likely more.

Here she’s getting an ultrasound.

Historically you needed surgery just to diagnose it (incisions are made in the abdomen). We're doing a non-invasive route.

Typically women live with endometriosis for 7-10 years before being diagnosed. It’s the leading reason women aged 30 to 34 get hysterectomies (permanent surgery to entirely remove the uterus).

This condition is where endometrial-like tissue starts growing outside the uterus, in ovaries, bowel, bladder, even the diaphragm. This tissue inflames, scars, and glues organs together.

Our first step is to find out if @_katetolo has it.

Initial measurements we’re doing:

+ trans vaginal ultrasound
+ pelvic MRI w and w/o contrast
+ hormonal labs

All during the early part of her cycle to get the clearest picture.

During her ultrasound, a slim probe, about the width of two fingers, 10-12 inches long (although only a small portion is inserted) is covered with a protective sheath and lubricant and gently inserted into the vagina (patient has to empty their bladder first). This creates real-time images of the uterus, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic structures. While inserted, the probe is turned 90 degrees to evaluate all the various structures, angles and views. There is no radiation exposure.

The technician is looking for scarring, ovarian cysts, adhesions, and for organs that are fused together with tissue. This ultrasound can confirm endometriosis but it cannot rule it out.

What endo does to the body:

+ 90% report pelvic pain
+ 50% report severe fatigue
+ 26% report infertility. However many sources cite 30 to 50 percent.
+ 50% experience pain during sex.
+ Many have pain with ovulation, bowel movements, and urination
+ Severe bloating called “endo belly” where the abdomen visibly distends

There are a handful of theories about why endometriosis develops but the honest answer is no one is quite sure.

We’ll keep you posted on her results.

@FischerKing64 @bryan_johnson @_katetolo How about no. Women’s health ISNT talked about enough. This is exactly WHAT WE NEED to find a cure already. Tf is wrong with you

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@_celia_bedelia_ @_katetolo @bryan_johnson Yes you can. I do all of that and that’s the ONLY way they were able to rule this out. It’s called endo mapping.

@MrsErikaKirk Do not lose sight of this scripture. You shared this TODAY FOR A REASON.

Just 100 years ago, kids ran barefoot through fields, climbed trees, and came home at sunset covered in dirt and joy

Now they’re inside all day on tablets, diagnosed with 3 disorders by age 8, and afraid of steak

WTF happened

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@OracleSpeaksUSA @PicturesFoIder Jesus said to treat others how you want to be treated (Luke 6:31). Not ‘get even.’ So before ranting about ‘beta knights’ and ‘woke rot,’ maybe ask yourself: why are you defending someone being assaulted for saying no? Jackass.

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@OracleSpeaksUSA @PicturesFoIder If you’re really for equality, you’d condemn all acts of violence, not excuse them depending on who throws the drink. Your energy isn’t justice, it’s bitterness dressed up as fake balance.

[blue @bluewmist]

we have normalised overconsumption. listening to a podcast while we walk, scrolling reels in the toilet, listening to music while we cook, watching a show on Netflix while we eat. it’s as if there is NO breathing space for your mind. you’re constantly trying to fill the void, the stillness and yet here you’re complaining about feeling groggy and demotivated.

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@EvanAKilgore That really is nothing compared to the prices where I am ����😩😩

Unpopular opinion: As I get older, all this looks disgusting

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@DomiMamiSlave @coffee_anytime We’re not saying “Amen” to tragedy. We’re saying “Amen” to the hope beyond it. The faith that these children are now safe in the arms of Jesus, not lost to darkness. That’s not romanticizing death, that’s believing in eternal life, which you clearly don’t understand.

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@norsehotties @ShariseParviz @coffee_anytime You may not be doing that, but a majority of you are saying this happened as a consequence of voting red. Get a fucking grip. There are plenty liberals cheering on their deaths because they were “developing racists”. Shut up.

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@scnlrhksw @coffee_anytime You’re wrong, and spiritually confused. Children aren’t in hell, they’re with the Father who said, “Let the little children come to me, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.” Your God sounds more like a tyrant than a Savior. Read the Bible before weaponizing it.

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@novaruu_ @coffee_anytime Happens to all*

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@novaruu_ @coffee_anytime Genuinely, God didn’t “kill” them. Death is not the end—it’s the doorway and it happened to all. This broken world has pain because of sin, not because God is cruel. Those children are with Him now, safe forever. You mourn death—we rejoice in eternal life. That’s the difference.

[Natalie Popham @NattyLaFea]

@Mistah_Soprano @coffee_anytime Mocking children (who died at a Christian camp) reuniting with Jesus is a new low. You don’t have to believe in God, but Jesus was real, whether you like it or not. we’re billion strong, and some of us aren’t afraid to clap back. Your comment is no better than the photo.
