Chloe Bennet Instagram – So last Friday I got surgery to help treat my Endometriosis, a disease I have been quietly suffering from since before I can remember. I wasn’t going to post about this because it’s all very personal, and well, honestly because this is about a “feminine health issue” … and even now, writing this out makes me feel… slightly embarrassed and uncomfortable, and I hate that. Because that feeling of embarrassment is the exact reason why so many women don’t seek out treatment. The shame that surrounds most women’s health issues often fuels the voices in our heads that tell us we are somehow “over reacting” or “shouldn’t be taken seriously”. It trickles down into how we are treated in the work place, into what is covered by insurance, and notably, how heath care professionals treat us. It took me many years of trying different doctors, late night google searches, and just believing that being in a severe amount of pain ALL the time WAS NOT normal and doesn’t have to be to get treatment. It took finding an incredible doctor who could not only validate my symptoms with an immense amount of knowledge on the disease, but most importantly she encouraged me to be absolutely shameless about it. It’s a luxury to not feel shame about something after so long. Ultimately I’m sharing this because so much of what has helped me over the past 10 years has been the small little blogs or the random articles, the Endo Instagram accounts, or the Lena Dunham’s of the world (she is a BADASS) sharing their stories, despite what it must look like to everyone else. Whether it’s Endometriosis, PCOS, hormone imbalances, dealing with the insane side effects of birth controls, GIVING (Fucking) BIRTH, or just a regular old period, I feel like we need to talk about it. Normalize the conversation. Feel no shame. No more passing tampons in our sleeves or under the table so the boys don’t see, that shits whack.
So yeah, I guess I’m  speaking about this now because my instinct has always been to act like it’s no big deal, tolerate the pain  and just not talk about it. 
So this is me talking about it. (And also despite being high as a kite, I looked cute in these compression socks)
