The article discusses the author's medical journey, beginning with a rare syndrome that required surgery. After experiencing odd symptoms and ultimately being hospitalized, doctors found extensive blood clots. Initially attributed to birth control, a reassessment of the condition revealed May-Thurner syndrome, a second rare disorder. The narrative underscores the complexities of diagnosing multifaceted health issues and emphasizes the crucial role of attentive healthcare providers in uncovering the truth behind symptoms.
This is a less-than-one-percent-of-the-population kind of syndrome. A month in the hospital and one big surgery later, it was fixed.
Two years later, I had an MRI of my pelvis for something else, and yeah, I also have May-Thurner.
