nounMEDICINE
A condition resulting from the appearance of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and causing pelvic pain.
Some of you may not know this, but Mary was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2010. You may be surprised to hear that she has a painful, chronic disease, as she doesn't appear to be sick. That is because this disease affects women in ways that are not visible to the eye. Intense pelvic pain, full body fatigue, and in some cases it can spread to major organs. For a full understanding of this disease, we urge you to please read the below article.

To date, Mary has had 4 surgeries and lost her appendix on the third one from the endometriosis that was growing on and strangling it. She spent months surviving barely being able to eat, being fully bedridden from the pain, and doctors doing nothing because it's "Not that bad". After several failed surgeries, it is time to finally put her in remission, as this disease has no cure.
This is why she looking to go to The Vital Health Institute. It has evolved into an internationally acclaimed center of expertise in women’s healthcare, welcoming patients from all around the world. It has
a unique program of comprehensive, interdisciplinary treatments, including advanced surgical excision of endometriosis and reconstructive pelvic floor surgery. The goal is to put Mary into remission and grant her some much needed relief from the chronic pain she has so far endured.
Please keep Mary in your thoughts. Anything you are able to give will go towards surgery and travel expenses. Thank you in advance.
