It currently affects 176 million women of childbearing age worldwide, including one in ten in the US. Despite those startling statistics, this horrific and incurable ailment is still relatively unknown to the general population and medical professionals alike. Symptoms of heavy periods and excruciating pain most often begin in middle school or high school, yet doctors take an average of twelve years to diagnose it in a patient. As a result, these undiagnosed and misdiagnosed women suffer into at least their mid-twenties or early thirties, repeatedly told that the pain is in their minds, that it's simply part of becoming a woman, or that it's caused by some other disease or condition. That nonsense must stop, and it must stop now! This guide will explain what endo is in terms that adolescents can understand, along with potential remedies, treatments to avoid, and how to manage the psychological and social effects of the disease. It will also include riveting stories from women in their teens and mid-twenties, and from those closest to them such as mothers, fathers, teachers, and coaches. One of the most terrifying aspects of having endo is feeling like nobody believes the pain is real or severe, which can cause a woman to feel scared, isolated, and depressed. This guide will fully arm her with the truth and knowledge about the disease so that she can overcome her fears and confidently advocate for herself. If her cry for help has been dismissed by anyone, she will be able to educate them so that they can empathize with her and fully support her in her quest for healing. "This valuable guide, both informative and moving, promotes endometriosis awareness for young women and those around them." "An important guide for young women-and yes, men-that belongs in every public and school library." "An empowering, pro-women look at an often misdiagnosed condition that can cause infertility and devastating pain." "The book's inspiring text is purposefully crafted so that every reader can relate and understand endometriosis not only medically, but also emotionally." "Women…will now have the knowledge necessary to become powerful self-advocates." 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 4 Nonfiction 650 4 Teen 655 0 Audiobooks 700 1 Kenerly, Kevin. 700 1 Sullivan, Erica. 700 1 Meskimen, Taylor. 700 1 Boyles, Alex. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13611045?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781982663827_180.jpeg
