@artemis @vagina_museum That & imagine the horror and shock of finding a large “lump” in your pelvic area long before you even had sex (referring to the fibroids)
Thinking that you “might have cancer” that is known to be hard to treat/lethal (referring to ovarian) & not knowing anything about “fibroids” or doctors not telling you anything about them is disturbing.
Having multiple papsmears/palpa prior & not knowing that this is something to look out for is really wrong.

@artemis @vagina_museum Again, the “shaming” is a big part of this. I was raised by my father who thought that bad pain from menstrual cramps were “not being tough to pain” (basically your a baby if you think it’s painful, this coming from a man who was an ABSOLUTE BABY to any pain aka, no pain tolerance 🙄)
