Addressing #stigma: If you are my friend or colleague, regardless of gender, you get to know my ovaries whether you want to or not. I’m a woman with #endometriosis & #fibroid #menstrualhealth pain. Instead of seeming “flaky” I will tell you my #womenshealth reason I must cancel.

Do not self medicate on any of these medications just because a combination is working for someone you know does not mean it will work for you.
Consult your gynaecologist for best line of management for you.
