In the following endometriosis surgery video, a surgeon captures beautiful views of the uterus, bowels, gallbladder, and diaphragm during laparoscopic surgery. Notice the connections between the bladder and uterus. This video also shows endometriosis scar tissue, varicose veins, and adenomyosis. Adenomyosis is when endometrial tissue grows in the muscle of the uterus.
The yellow sacs on the colon are epiploic appendages (fat-filled sacs) that play a role in cushioning the colon, regulating the immune response, and facilitating colonic absorption.
During laparoscopy, doctors use carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to inflate the abdomen. This lifts it away from the internal organs, providing a clearer view. Normally, everything is tightly packed.
I have so much gratitude to the woman who shared this educational video—wishing her and her womb healing.
Self-care begins with body literacy. That’s why in the online Womb Care course, I’ve included practical lessons on the anatomy and physiology of your reproductive system. You’ll also learn how to do self-abdominal massage. This helps with uterine, ovarian, and digestive health. You will also discover herbal remedies that support your womb. Additionally, you will learn techniques to release emotional tension from your pelvic area. I’ll also teach you pelvic alignment exercises and nutritious movement for uterine health. But most of all, I intend to connect you to the beauty and wisdom of your womb.
