A couple of weeks ago, I said I'd had enough of what was happening to me. As a woman, several years ago, I decided to look for alternatives to protect myself and avoid pregnancy. I had a steady partner at the time. Of all the methods available, the IUD was the option available to me at the time. It wasn't what I expected, but at the time, I didn't want to postpone something so important because, knowing myself at the time, I might not be able to return. At the time, my prejudices were very strong. However, on that occasion, I mustered up a lot of courage, putting everything aside, and taking a step forward to overcome my own ignorance with sex education.
The thing is, this method, over time, causes quite strong hormonal changes, mood swings, and even depression. I've been suffering all of this in silence. I've sought help in many ways, ruled out many things, and now I had to rule out this option, which I hadn't even considered until I did some in-depth research. Fortunately, I was able to remove the IUD from my uterus and in fact, I have seen some changes, an example of this may be that now I no longer get angry with the same intensity, before I felt like my head could explode from anger, now I simply get angry about something but it feels so light and sometimes it is as if I want to get angry about something and I no longer have the feeling of anger.
Hace un par de semanas dije que ya era suficiente con lo que me estaba pasando, yo como mujer hace varios años atrás decidí buscar alternativas para protegerme y evitar un embarazo, ya que en su debido momento tenía una pareja estable, de todos los métodos, la opción que tenía disponible en ese momento fue el DIU, no era la que yo esperaba pero en ese momento no quería posponer algo tan importante porque conociéndome en ese momento, quizá ya no iba a volver, ya que en esos momentos mis prejuicios eran muy grandes, sin embargo en esa ocasión me armé de mucho valor, dejando todo de lado, dando un paso adelante para salir de mi propia ignorancia con la educación sexual.
El tema es que este método a medida que pasa el tiempo, te produce cambios hormonales bastante fuertes, cambios de humor y hasta causa depresión, yo todo esto lo he estado sufriendo en silencio, he buscado ayuda de muchas maneras, he descartado muchas cosas y ahora me tocó ir a descartar está opción que no había pensando, hasta que investigué a fondo. Afortunadamente pude extraer el DIU de mi útero y de hecho, he visto algunos cambios, un ejemplo de esto puede ser que ahora ya no me enojo con la misma intensidad, antes sentía que podía explotar mi cabeza del enojo, ahora simplemente me enoja algo pero se siente tan ligero y a veces es como si quisiera enojarme por algo y ya no tengo el sentimiento del enojo.
However, the news isn't all good. They found a small fibroid and a medium-sized cyst. The solution to treating the latter is birth control pills. You'll see the seriousness of the matter as follows:
Sin embargo, no todas las noticias son buenas porque encontraron un pequeño mioma y también un quiste de tamaño mediano, la solución para tratar este último son pastillas anticonceptivos. Veran la gravedad del asunto es el siguiente
The cyst, being in the ovary, produces marked hormonal imbalances such as mood swings, anxiety, irritability, and depression.
Birth control pills have exactly the same effects as the previous ones.
It's true that I'm now starting to feel a little better and more relieved, but a couple of weeks ago I had a very severe relapse of depression, which is why I went to have the IUD removed. From what I see, I'll continue to have this problem because there's something in my body that's altering my hormones, and I'll also continue taking medications that alter my hormones to shrink the cyst... In other words, I'll continue to have depression for a while... I'd like to see medicine improve these things and for birth control methods for men to also exist; women can't continue to suffer alone.
1.- El quiste al estar en el ovario produce equilibrio hormonales marcados como cambios de humor, ansiedad, irritabilidad y depresión.
2.- Las pastillas anticonceptivas tienen exactamente los mismos efectos que los anteriores.
Es cierto que ahora me estoy empezando a sentir un poco mejor y más aliviada pero hace un par de semanas había tenido una recaída muy fuerte en la depresión, motivo por el cual fui a extraer el DIU, pero por lo que veo este problema lo seguiré teniendo ya que en mi cuerpo hay algo que altera mis hormonas y también seguiré metiendo medicamentos que alteran mis hormonas para poder reducir el quiste... Es decir, que seguiré teniendo depresión por un tiempo... Me gustaría que la medicina mejorara en estas cosas y que también existan las métodos anticonceptivos para los hombres, las mujeres no podemos seguir sufriendo solas.
I'm so sorry you're going through this. And you're right, why is there no birth control methods for men as well, it's just so unfair. I'm really glad you took the measure to research the causes of your hormonal fluctuation, because thanks to that, you were able to discover the fibroid and cyst at its early stage. I believe with time, it'll get better.
But take this as a suggestion, why not try speaking with your doctor about the hormonal imbalance as well perhaps they can discuss diet options that'll help with balancing the hormones. Or even look into activities that'll create more happiness and purpose for you, for example, some women find crocheting really peaceful.
Wishing you well 💕

Thank you!
Hello sis, the first thing I did was talk about hormonal changes, and from there I said I wanted to cleanse my body of all these things and not use methods that included hormones. This was at the beginning. Then we discovered the ovarian cyst, and unfortunately, the medication also affects my hormones. If I don't do anything, the cyst could grow and become a bigger complication, where the only solution is removal. For now, I'll see about the medication for a while to monitor its size and then see what other solutions I can offer.
But yes, I'm doing activities like exercising. I also changed my diet three months ago. Little by little, we're seeing improvement, sometimes on, sometimes off.

I hope to recover quickly from this and that everything goes well. It's a terrible feeling not knowing what emotions you're going to wake up with. Having a pessimistic view of the world is the worst.
