Endometriosis adalah keadaan dimana tisu dinding rahim yang tumbuh dibahagian selain dinding rahim cth di tiub fallopian atau kilang telur (ovaries). Endometriosis boleh berlarutan dan seterusnya memberi kesan yang mendalam terhadap kesiharan fisikal and mental dan juga mengganggu rutin harian.
Miss A came to my clinic mengadu sakit perut. Dia berusia 20an.
Dia nampak sugul. Bila bercakap pandang ke bawah. She was just looking sad.
Dia beritahu lagi, sakit perutnya teruk ketika datang haid. Tak boleh buat kerja, walau dah ambil ubat , terpaksa rest a few hours baru hilang sakit. Waktu tak period pon sakit. Mostly waktu malam katanya.
MIss A sudah lama bertarung dgn senggugut, sejak usianya 15tahun lagi. Die dah ambil pill perancang, dulu berkesan, sekrang dah tak lagi. Sakitnya betul betul membebankan emosi and fizikalnya. Dia tak de social life katanya.. Kerana kesakitan yg amat teruk, die mengelak utk keluar rumah.
Dia juga mempunyai masalah kemurungan. I don’t know what exactly she went through, but it seems she s been hurt before. Definitely, having this severe period pain just makes things worse. Physical examination – semua normal. Scab pelvis pon tak de apa-apa. Uterus normal, ovaries pon normal.
“Saya tambah your pain killer and see how. What you can do for me is – document when you have pain and I will review that in 2 weeks”
After 2 weeks she came back – out of the 14 days, only 3 days were pain-free. Can't imagine how she lived with this condition. Ye la kann, if nak sakit je everyday, mcm mana nak buat bende lain. I can now understand why she looks sad. I changed her contraceptive pill.....
She came back after 1 month. That day, she looked totally different. Cheerful, the first time I see her with a happy smile, looking more confident and in control. For the first time after so long, she did not have pain.... I'm happy for her. I really hope that she will be pain-free forever.
If you think you have endometriosis, talk to your Dr about it. With the right treatment, pain caused by endometriosis can be made more manageable.
