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.

May God bless you and your families today and always. ❤️

END THE FRAUD.
@GovPressOffice Hahaha he offered to partner to fight it?
This is what you did to me for exposing fraud.
I’d gladly invite Governor Newscam if he would like to come next investigation.
Why don’t we start by taking a walk on the high speed rail tracks to explain where the billions have gone?
Do politicians realize it will be the beginning of the end for them if the #SaveAmericaAct doesn’t pass?
I think they believe it would just be a little gotcha moment toward Trump & that they’ll ride off happily into the sunset cheating, lying, committing more fraud & prioritizing their new illegal immigrant base over their own citizens.
Do they not realize the ppl have now seen behind the curtain & that can’t be undone?
It will create a monster that they can’t defeat.
How do you rationalize not passing a bill that the entire country wants — when you were elected by the people for the people to represent the people…?
I don’t think they’ve thought it out.
Perhaps they should rethink 💭
🚨 HOLY CRAP. Nick Shirley DECIMATES Gavin Newsom 🔥
“The governor of California is an ENEMY to the people of California. He’s literally working to support the fraudsters!”
“He COULD be working to expose the fraud.”
“How STUPID do you have to be to say ‘let’s go after the guy exposing the fraud, let’s not go after the fraudsters?’”
“That is what he’s doing. Why don’t you say ‘Hey Nick, great video - how can we help?’”
“These tax dollars don’t say right or left on them, Republican or Democrat. Each tax dollar is a dollar for the American people.”
“And when they go and steal these dollars from us, they are not robbing liberals or Democrats, they are robbing everyone.”
“Then the governor gets mad at the person exposing the fraud? How crazy do you have to be to think that logic?!” @nickshirleyy
Mic drop.
