   Number of women myself have encountered who have shared that they lived with—quietly managed—ongoing bleeding without seeking medical intervention until long after they better had…

   This is a cultural problem of quiet suffering that goes well beyond hospitals in red states willfully keeping pregnant folk ignorant of medical options.

   Somewhere along the line we got to the point where so many women individualized their health to the point that abnormal bleeding is just assumed to be their normal.

     I had menorrhagia that developed over time so it didn't seem like something to see a doc about until I actually went into shock from blood loss one day

     I looked up the problem online & learned that over 20% of women have this problem at some point

     I yelled in my empty room, "IF IT'S SO COMMON WHY TF DON'T WOMEN TELL EACH OTHER ABOUT THIS SHIT??"

     Shame is an evil drug 💔
