Intimacy with Fibroids

February 27, 2023 by Sheveland Beard Leave a Comment

Intimacy Does Not Always Mean Sex…

February is known for Black History Month as well as the month of Love! However, intimacy should be experienced daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly. Intimacy is a closeness that can be physical, emotional, intellectual, or even spiritual and it occurs between you and a partner. Fibroids can interfere with every aspect of intimacy especially physical and emotional.

The act of sex and or love making is a beautiful act that enhances relationships or even destroy them due to the lack of. Fibroids can cause bleeding in between cycles, discomfort with sex/sexual positions, decreased or nonexistence libido and decrease emotional connection because of embarrassment. Embarrassed to tell your partner that you bleed through the sheets or that you don’t enjoy sex because of pain or discomfort or that you’ve bleed for 2-3 weeks straight and that you don’t have energy to have sex. Although intimacy is more than sex, emotional intimacy is lost as well because a lot of women feel that they cannot share some or the things that they experience because of fear of rejection or the inability to understand.

To address the “stigma” of fibroids and intimacy and because it is the month of love a special challenge is in order.

Who came up with the whole idea of “perfection” anyway. The concept of being perfect and people pleasing is very stressful. Cortisol increases with high stress levels and can lead to fibroid growth! Trust your process.. Perfection is not worth your health or your peace of mind. .#browngirlbloggers#changeyourlife#womensupportingwomen#knowyourworth#fibroids#padsandtampons#healthyliving#keeptrying#positivevibes#positiveenergy#designyourlife#fibroidology#healthy#pads#tampons#naturalhealing#changethewayyouthink#wecanwearwhite#uteruspride#heal#nature#dietarychanges

What are you saying to yourself about yourself? Regardless to the past or present you are a Masterpiece. Speak things as if they already are.. because you body hears you. Your womb hears and feels you, and that’s where most of emotions are felt and stored. So no matter what the second, minute, hour, day, week, month or even year looks like you are a Masterpiece and always will be a work in progress. #browngirlbloggers#changeyourlife#womensupportingwomen#knowyourworth#fibroids#padsandtampons#healthyliving#keeptrying#positivevibes#positiveenergy#designyourlife#fibroidology#healthy#pads#tampons#naturalhealing#changethewayyouthink#wecanwearwhite#uteruspride#heal#nature#dietarychanges
