Meet Diana, a stunning 32-year-old woman whose life took a drastic turn upon receiving a cruel diagnosis: endometriosis, discovered only after she moved to France. Despite her beauty, Diana’s journey has been marred by the devastating consequences of a faulty medical system. In Romania, where she originally sought treatment, misdiagnoses and inadequate care resulted in irreversible damage, leaving her without an ovary and fallopian tube.
Diana’s story is just one of thousands of women who have suffered at the hands of a medical system ill-equipped to handle complex conditions like endometriosis. Despite enduring unimaginable pain and suffering, Diana harbors no bitterness. Instead, she aims to raise awareness about endometriosis, advocating for better care and support for those affected by the condition. Her ultimate hope? To one day become a mother.
From childhood, Diana’s experience with menstruation was anything but normal. Despite debilitating pain, she was dismissed by doctors and even faced ridicule for seeking medical attention. The road to diagnosis was fraught with frustration and despair, culminating in emergency surgeries and prolonged hospital stays.
“My period began at the age of 12, and it was heavy, lasting for 7 days and leaving me anemic. Of course, the family told me that if it doesn’t hurt here and there, it means you are not alive! So I thought it was normal. During menstruation, I was the last one in class with my classmate whose mother was the school maid and who helped us clean our blood from the chair or what was leaking on the floor. Now it doesn’t seem normal to me, but then no one was bothered by this.”
It wasn’t until Diana sought treatment in France that she finally received proper care. Under the expert guidance of renowned surgeon Horace Roman, Diana underwent life-saving procedures to address her endometriosis. Despite the physical and emotional toll of her journey, Diana remains resilient, finding solace in the tranquility of her woodland home.
Today, Diana is on a path to recovery, supported by medication and a newfound sense of hope. Though she may never conceive naturally, she remains determined to prevent others from enduring similar hardships. With each passing day, Diana’s strength and courage inspire those around her, serving as a beacon of hope for women battling endometriosis everywhere.
„If there were doctors, nutritionists, more endometriosis specialists, not just a few across the country, maybe it would be easier.”
