Myth vs Facts: Endometriosis Pain Is All In Your Head
The myths and misconceptions associated with endometriosis as a topic are - PLENTY. One of the most prevalent myths surrounding this condition is the belief that the pain associated with endometriosis is all in the head.
However, people who have endometriosis will beg to differ. And to support that, we will be looking at some of the most common misconceptions associated with endometriosis pain.
Read on...
1. Myth: Endometriosis pain is psychological.
Fact: Endometriosis pain is a real and physical condition that affects millions of women worldwide. The pain experienced by individuals with endometriosis is not imagined or psychosomatic [1].
Imagine having to endure excruciating pain during your menstrual cycle that affects your daily life, relationships, and overall well-being - this is the reality for many women with endometriosis. The pain is so severe that it feels like something is trying to claw outta your tummy.
2. Myth: It's just normal period pain.
Fact: While some degree of discomfort during menstruation is common, endometriosis pain goes beyond the typical cramps. The pain associated with endometriosis can be debilitating and may occur at any time during the menstrual cycle [2].
Endometriosis pain can range from mild to severe, with symptoms including pelvic pain, lower back pain, painful intercourse, and even gastrointestinal issues. It is far from being just "normal period pain."
3. Myth: Endometriosis pain can be cured by mental relaxation techniques.
Fact: Although relaxation techniques can help manage stress and possibly help manage some symptoms, they cannot cure endometriosis or eliminate the pain entirely. Endometriosis requires proper medical intervention and treatment [3].
It's important to recognise that endometriosis is a complex medical condition that often requires a multidisciplinary approach involving medication, surgery, and lifestyle changes.
On A Final Note...
Endometriosis pain is not a figment of imagination or a psychological manifestation - it is as real as anything can get!
And, it's about high time we dispel the misconceptions about endometriosis and the terrible pain that comes along with it.
