Bio

Each individual merits guidance along their journey, yet ultimately, the decision rests within your hands. 


She / Her / Hers


Chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, SA and SH, neurodivergence, hidden disabilities, sexual health, bullying and low self esteem are my go to.


Just a girl with a passion for medicine, helping people, animals, politics, literatures and activism! I live with endometriosis, POTs and neurodivergence. I was an ex-athlete who had to stop because of chronic pain and began studying instead! I learned a lot about female health and hope to learn more.

Heavy periods / When should you be concerned?
Women's Issues / by GioThePomegranate

...See more Gynaecologists often refrain from visiting young people who have not yet had their first sexual intercourse because they assume their hymen is still intact. This is a misconception. The hymen can break in various ways, such as during sports, falls, and injuries. Personally, mine broke after my first sexual encounter. Another misconception is that individuals with strong and/or painful periods are more fertile. In reality, this could be a symptom. So, when should we become concerned? Now, let me pose a question: Have you ever experienced extremely painful back pain and tension, diarrhea, or painful bowel movements (especially or only) during periods? If yes, this could be a symptom related to PCOS, endometriosis, or another condition. Have you ever developed rashes from heating pads used on your stomach/back to alleviate your pain? This could be an indirectly related symptom of endometriosis, caused by excessive use of heating pads due to severe pain. Do you have an unexplained bump resembling those of a child? This could indicate endometriosis. "Okay, Gio, I have all these symptoms, what should I do?" It would be advisable to visit a gynaecologist and undergo a check-up. Hope this helps!
